To calculate the incidence rate, we need to divide the number of new cases by the total population and multiply by 1000 to express it per 1000 people.
Incidence rate = (Number of new cases / Total population) * 1000
Number of new cases = 13400 Total population = 23000998
Incidence rate = (13400 / 23000998) * 1000 Incidence rate ≈ 0.5826 per 1000 people
To calculate the case fatality rate, we need to divide the number of deaths by the number of cases and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Case fatality rate = (Number of deaths / Number of cases) * 100
Number of deaths = 3900 Number of cases = 13400
Case fatality rate = (3900 / 13400) * 100 Case fatality rate ≈ 29.10%
To calculate the prevalence rate, we need to divide the number of existing cases by the total population and multiply by 1000 to express it per 1000 people.
Prevalence rate = (Number of existing cases / Total population) * 1000
Number of existing cases = Number of cases - Number of deaths Number of existing cases = 13400 - 3900 = 9500
Prevalence rate = (9500 / 23000998) * 1000 Prevalence rate ≈ 0.4130 per 1000 people
