In 1996, Planet X had a population of 26 million people. During that year, 630,000 deaths occurred. 1,000,000 people became ill with cholera and 312, 000 deaths were attributed to this disease. Calculate your answers as per 100,000 population and be specific with units.

    1. A- What was the crude mortality rate?
    2. B- What was the cause-specific mortality rate from cholera in 1996?
    3. C- What was the case-fatality rate from cholera?
  1. Calculate an infection rate given the following information. You are an infection control practitioner in a small rural hospital. You have had 12 MRSA cases in the past year. During the year, you have had 1438 patient days. What was the infection rate per 1000 patient days?
  2. You are the manager of a wildlife preserve. You had 26,834 visitors to the preserve last year. 8,156 were adults and the rest were children. On the preserve, you have 13 species of deer, 513 species of flowering plants, 21 species of trees, and 60 species of birds.

                   a. Calculate the percent of visitors that were adults and children.

CRUDE DEATH RATE is the total number of deaths to residents in a specified geographic area (country, state, county, etc.) divided by the total population for the same geographic area (for a specified time period, usually a calendar year) and multiplied by 100,000. 2. Calculation: Total Resident Deaths /Total Po pulation X 100,000

crude death rate has four components: 1. A specified measurement period.

2. The numerator, the number of deaths that occurred in a specified geographic area during a given period of time,

3. The denominator, the total number of people in the population at risk in the same geographic area for the same period of time ("person-years at risk"). The population estimate used is typically the mid-year (July 1) population count estimate for the same year(s) included in the numerator.

4. A constant. The result of the fraction is usually multiplied by some factor of 10 (such as 100,000), so that the rate may be expressed as a whole number.
