Please show formulas, I just want to verify that I was doing thework correctly and please show one example of the case rate andratio of cases, Thank you
- The population of a state is 2,100,000. In a surveillanceproject lasting three months, investigators found communicabledisease reports documenting one case of anthrax, three cases ofmumps, 132 cases of pertussis, 27 cases of tuberculosis, 10 casesof primary and secondary syphilis, and 374 cases of gonorrhea.
Calculate the ratio of cases to population for each disease.Then, calculate the case rate (per 100,000 population per year) foreach disease.
Calculate the ratio of cases to population for each disease.
Anthrax- 1 case for 3 months ratio- R=X/Y thus 1/2,586,000
Mumps- …………………………… ratio- R=X/Y thus3/2,586,000 reduced to 1/862,000
Calculate the case rate(per 100,000 population per year) foreach disease
Anthrax- 1 case per 3 months thus 4 per year ……. [4/2,100,000] *100,000 = 0.19
Mumps- 3 cases per 3 months thus 12 per year …..[12/2,100,000]*100,000= 0.57
