M1: Rates, Ratios and Proportions Flashcards
Measures probability of occurrence of some particular event
Rate
2 Differences in the denominators of a rate are
- Crude
2. Specific
A denominator specifically for (total population)
Crude
What to remember when stating the Crude denominator in Rate
automatically use the mid-year population
Denominator for a (specified) group (age, sex, education, occupation, marital status, race, exposure)
Specific
specifies a period of time in which the event
occurs
Rate
Rate is similar to proportion in that the ________
Numerator is included in the denominator
An expression of the (relative frequency) of occurrence of an event compared to some other event; (may be a fraction) expressed in lowest terms
RATIO
Special kind of ratio wherein the (numerator is part of the denominator) and where (K is 100)
Proportion
2 Types of fertility Rates
- Crude Birth Rate
2. General Fertility Rate
measures how fast people are added to the population.
Crude Birth Rate
Is a more specific fertility rate equation
General Fertility Rate
4 Factors of Crude (Birth) Rate
(MARS)
- marriage patterns and practices
- age,
- sex
- registration.
8 types of Mortality rate
(3C’s SIMPS)
- Crude Death Rate
- Specific Death Rate
- Cause Specific Death Rate
- Infant Mortality Rate
- Maternal Mortality Rate
- Proportionate Mortality Rate
- Swaroop’s Index
- Case Fatality Rate
4 Types of Infant Mortality Rate
a. Neonatal Mortality Rate
b. Post-neonatal Mortality Rate
c. Perinatal Mortality Rate
d. Fetal Death Rate
Mortality rate that deals with death within 28 or more weeks of gestation to 7 days after birth
Perinatal Mortality Rate
Mortality rate that deals with (death of fetus) prior to
birth, regardless of gestational age
Fetal Death Rate
Mortality rate where mortality of (50 years and older) is indexed
Swaroop’s index
gives the rate with which (mortality occurs in a given population)
Crude Death Rate (CDR)
4 factors of Crude (Death) Rate (CDR)
(APOE)
- Age and Sex
- Environmental
- Occupation
- Peace and order
rates of dying in (specific) population groups
Specific Mortality Rate (SMR)
