Document Summary
The all-cause mortality rate is a measurement of all deaths in a population. The cause-specific mortality rate is a measurement of deaths in a population for a specific disease. In a town, 102 of the 5,663 deaths in 2013 were due to cardiovascular disease. Calculate the all-cause and cardiovascular disease-specific mortality rates. Rr = a / (a + b) c / (c + d) Question 1. a = primary group (e+) with disease (d+) ; c = comparative group (e+) with disease (d+) = primary group (e+) without disease (d-) ; d = comparative group (e-) without disease (d-) In a town, out of the 525 people that lived close to open water, 104 had malaria. Out of the 1045 that lived further, 135 had malaria. D+ d- total a c b d a + b c + d. Rr = (104) / (525) (135) / (1045) Yld = number of prevalent cases x disability weighting factor.
