Calculating Incidence versus Prevalence The picture represents 10 new cases of illness over about 15 months in a population of 20 persons. Each horizontal line represents one person. The down arrow indicates the date of onset of illness. The solid line represents the duration of illness. The up arrow and the cross represent the date of recovery and date of death, respectively. The picture New: Cases of Illness from October 1, 2004–September 30, 2005 Question: Calculate the period prevalence from October 1, 2004, to September 30, 2005. The numerator of period prevalence includes anyone who was ill any time during the period. In Figure 3.1, the first 10 persons were all ill at some time during the period.
What is the numerator used for incidence? O New cases during a specific time period O Actual cases reported O Existing cases at a given point in time O Current cases
incidence reflect the likehood of developing a disease among a group of participants free of the disease who are considered at risk of developing the disease over a specified observation period; prevalence involves estimating the proportion of people who havee disease at point of time .true or false?

Express the rate per 100 population.
Does this epidemic curve suggest a point source or propagated epidemic? Justify your answer. What does the "moving averages" (black line) represent? bruefly explain this term in relation to the concept of "variability"?
What patterns do you detect? Often in disease outbreak investigations we want to see a pattern for a particular problem. Think back to the 'white board' approach from a previous question and consider the types of information about individuals that may help you look for patterns. Select from the list below attributes that may help you You can chosse all or some I choose Time of disease onset and occuption but there is more I guess Occupation Hair color Gender Weight Age Time of disease onset
Consider the figure attached, showing seven people studied between point A and B, and where the position of the numbers marks the onset of the disease in the people depicted. Supposing the total number of persons observed between A and B was 100, calculate the Point prevalence at A and B , Period prevalence and what disease measures could be computed for analytic studies?

As an outbreak of disease spreads in a relatively isolated community, some contract tracing occurs, and likely transmission events identified. Contract tracing determines that a sample of 10 infected individuals caused the following number of secondary cases: (look at the attached image) -Calculate the average number of secondary cases and create a ‘who acquires infection from whom’ matrix of R0 numbers. Use this matrix to calculate the overall R0 number for the population.
