Prevalence Rate (%) = New and pre-existing cases of disease during the same time period / Population size during the same time period x 100. Point prevalence – P (%) measured at a particular point in time, on a particular date. Period prevalence – P (%) measured over an interval of time.
This introduction to MS Excel focuses on its use for data set creation, manipulation (eg- sorting and selecting) and selected calculations. While it can be done, we will not be using MS Excel to do statistical analyses and data visualizations. The focus of BIOSTATS 690C is, instead, on R and Stata.
Let p represent the incidence proportion or prevalence proportion of disease and o represent the odds of disease. Thus, odds o = p / (1 – p). Reporting: To report a risk or rate “per m,” simply multiply it by m. For example, an incidence proportion of 0.0010 = 0.0010 × 10,000 = 10 per 10,000.
Introduce the most common methods of disease frequency in epidemiology; List common epidemiological methods of disease frequency: counts, proportions, ratios, rates, prevalence and incidence; Apply the concepts of disease frequency in the analysis of results from epidemiological research studies
The formula for calculating prevalence is: Prevalence = (Number of existing cases of a disease or condition within a population) / (Total population at risk) x 100. Example: If a city has 1000 individuals, and 100 of them have been diagnosed with a certain disease, the prevalence of the disease in that city would be calculated as:
Prevalence. Total cases of a disease at a specific time point (“snapshot”) (# total cases at one point) Prevalence = (# total population) Expressing Risk or Treatment Effect. Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) Describes the number of percentage points between the intervention and control groups.
Prevalence is dependent of the incidence and average duration of disease according to this formula: Prevalence (incidence rate) (average duration of illness) Reporting To report a risk or rate as a unicohort (i.e., number of individuals expected to produce one case), take its reciprocal and report the risk as 1 per “unicohort.”
