1 A.)During 2001, 215 new cases of AIDS were reported in Grand Rivera ( a fictitious place), a city of 500,00. This brought the total of new active cases of aids to 2280. During that time, 105 deaths were attributable to the disease. What is the incident rate per 100,00 for AIDS during 2001? SHOW WORK
B.) what is the ratio of the probability of the outcome if a factor known as a risk factor is present compared to the probability of the outcome if the factor is not present?
-Incidence rate
-relative rate
- prevalence
-Absolute risk
a) incident rate = Number of new cases of disease or injury during a specified period /Time each person was observed, totaled for all persons
no of new active cases = 2280
total no of people = 50000
= 2280/50000
=0.0456
so in 10000 people = 0.0456* 1000
Incident rate is = 456 per 10000 people.
b) The ratio of the probability of the outcome if a factor known as a risk factor is present compared to the probability of the outcome if the factor is not present is a relative rate.
