MODULE 1 Phil Health situation Flashcards
Least populated area
Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR)
This is a single index that summarizes the age distribution of a population.
POPULATION PYRAMID
usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth.
CRUDE BIRTH RATE
depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population
CRUDE BIRTH RATE
three branches of government
executive,
legislative
judicial
A more accurate measure of the risk of exposure. Useful in epidemiological investigations
ATTACK RATE (AR)
Medical care may either be provided directly by a medical doctor or indirectly by allied health care providers,
ATTENDED
refers to the cases given medical care at any point in time during the course of the illness which directly caused death
ATTENDED
the numerical order of a child in relation to all previous pregnancies of the mother
BIRTH ORDER
the first weight of the fetusor newborn obtained after birth.
BIRTH WEIGHT
a measure of one characteristic of the natural growth or increase of a population.
CRUDE BIRTH RATE (CBR)
measure of one mortality from all causes which may result in a decrease of population
CRUDE DEATH RATE (CDR)
These rates are referred to the total living population.
CRUDE or GENERAL RATES
It must be presumed that the total population was exposed to the risk of the occurrence of the event
CRUDE or GENERAL RATES
the permanent disappearance of all evidence of life at any time after live birth has taken place.
DEATH
is the death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction of a product of conception from its mother, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy;
FETAL DEATH
the death is indicated by the fact that after such separation the fetus does not breathe or show any other evidence of life.
FETAL DEATH
Measures pregnancy wastage. Death of the product of conception prior to its complete expulsion, irrespective of duration of pregnancy.
FETAL DEATH RATE (FDR
Measures the frequency of occurrence of the phenomenon during a given period of time. Deals only with new cases.
INCIDENCE RATE (IR)
is the death of an infant under one year of age.
INFANT MORTALITY/DEATH
Measures the risk of dying during the 1st year of life. It is a good index of the general health condition of a community since it reflects the changes in the environmental and medical conditions of a community.
INFANT MORTALITY RATE (IMR)
is the death of fetus with 28 or more completed weeks of gestation.
LATE FETAL DEATH
the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of the pregnancy, which after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life.
LIVE BIRTH
is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy.
MATERNAL MORTALITY/DEATH
It measures the risk of dying from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. It is an index of the obstetrical care needed and received by the women in a community.
MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE (MMR)
the death among live births during the first 28 completed days of life.
NEONATAL DEATH
Measures the risk of dying during the 1st month of life. May serve as index of the effects of prenatal care and obstetrical management on the newborn.
NEONATAL DEATH RATE (NDR)
refers to the place where the vital event took place.
PLACE OF OCCURRENCE
Measures the proportion of the population which exhibits a particular disease at a particular time. Deals with total (old and new) number of cases
PREVALENCE RATE (PR)
Shows the numerical relationship between deaths from a cause (or groups of causes), age (or groups of age) etc. and the total number of deaths from all causes in all ages taken together. Not a measure of risk of dying.
PROPORTIONATE MORTALITY (PM)
shows the relationship between a vital event and those persons exposed to the occurrence of said event, within a given area and during a specified unit of time.
RATE
It is evident that the persons experiencing the event (the numerator) must come from the total population exposed to the risk of same event (the denominator).
RATE
used to describe the relationship between two (2) numerical quantities or measures of events without taking particular considerations to the time or place.
RATIO
Describes more accurately the risk of exposure of certain classes or groups to particular diseases.
SPECIFIC DEATH RATE
The relationship is for a specific population class or group. It limits the occurrence of the event to that portion of the population definitely exposed to it.
SPECIFIC RATE
refers to the number of children a woman would have by the time she reaches age 50 under a given fixed fertility schedule.
TOTAL FERTILITY RATE (TFR)
sometimes referred to as completed family size. It is the average number of births per 100 females aged 15-49 years
TOTAL FERTILITY RATE (TFR
refers to the place where the person/deceased habitually or permanently resides
USUAL RESIDENCE
