Case Fatality Rate

33
Q

(Time element) is based on the duration of the disease

A

Case Fatality Rate

34
Q

measures the (frequency of illness within specific) population groups.

A

Morbidity Rates

35
Q

3 TYPES OF MORBIDITY RATES

A
  1. prevalence rate
  2. Incidence rate
  3. Attack Rate
36
Q

measures frequency of all

current (existing) cases of a disease.

A

Prevalence Rate

37
Q

measures (frequency) of new cases.

A

Incidence Rate

38
Q

incidence rate usually expressed in percent.

A

Attack Rate

39
Q

Used for particular populations observed for
limited period of time as an epidemic
or
in epidemiology, the proportion of people who become ill with (or who die from) a disease in a population initially free of the disease.

A

Attack Rate

40
Q

2 types of prevalence measures

2. Period Prevalence

41
Q

status of the disease in a

population at a point in time.

A

Point Prevalence

42
Q

refers to calendar time, fixed point in the course of events (week, month, quarter). In other words, it is the number of existing (old and new)
cases of a disease at a point in time/ total population examined.

(combination) of point prevalence and incidence

A

Period Prevalence

44
Q

2 Types of Incidence measures

48
Q

Sum of each individuals time at risk or sum of the time that each person remained under observation and free from disease

A

Incidence Rate

49
Q

Estimate of the (average rate of disease occurrence) in a population.
or
the rate of new cases of a condition observed within a given period
