Hello, I am having difficulty with these questions. Please provide answers to all parts and show some work so I can learn. Thank you so much in advance! :)
Is the subsidized housing community in the Lower East Side of New York City a dynamic or fixed population? Briefly explain the rationale for your answer.
a) What was the prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1st? Format: (x) / (y) = (z), where X is the numerator for prevalence, Y is the denominator for prevalence and Z is the prevalence %
b) What was the cumulative incidence of TB over the year? Format: (x) / (y) =(z) where X is the numerator for incidence, Y is the denominator for incidence, and Z is the incidence as a %
c) Suppose that you wanted to calculate the incidence rate of TB in the study population. Calculate the amount of person-time that would go in the denominator of this incidence rate. Be sure to show your work.
d) What was the case-fatality rate among residents with TB over the course of the year? Format: (x) / (y) = (z) where X is the numerator for case-fatality, Y is the denominator for case-fatality, and Z is the case-fatality as a %.
Ans: i would say the population was static because we enrolled
500 of them and our observation was based on these 500 people. No
other people was added in the experiment.
