Lesson 9 Flashcards
Number of deaths occurring among the population of a given geographical area during a given year, among a population of 1,000 people
‘’Crude” because all ages are represented
CRUDE DEATH RATE
if event in the numerator occurs more than once during the study
INCIDENCE DENSITY
At the end of study period, observed rates are compared with set target objectives
OBSERVE RATE WITH A TAGET RATE
Most common type
TWO DIFFERENT POPULATIONS AT THE SAME TIME
Used to study time trends
SAME POPULATION AT DIFFERENT TIMES
Rates that apply to an entire population without reference to any individual characteristics
CRUDE
Population is divided into homogenous subgroups
Rates are calculated within these groups
SPECIFIC
Also known as adjusted rates
Modified crude rates used to control the effects of age or other characteristics to allow valid comparisons
STANDARDIZED
What are the two methods of standardization
DIRECT STANDARDIZATION
INDIRECT STANDARDIZATION
Most common method to remove biasing/bias effect of different age structures in different populations
DIRECT STANDARDIZATION
Used ifASDRs are unavailable in the population whose crude death rate needs to be adjusted
• Used if population to be standardized is small
• Uses standard rates and applies them to the known age groups in the population
INDIRECT STANDARDIZATION
Delivery of a product of conception that shows any signs of life after complete removal from the mother
LIVE BIRTH
Dead fetus delivered within the first 20 weeks of gestation
EARLY FETAL DEATH
Useful measure of the progress of a nation in providing adequate nutrition and medical care for pregnant women
