Epidemiologists use various metrics to measure outcomes:
- Incidence: The number of new cases of a disease or condition in a specified period. - Prevalence: The total number of cases, both new and existing, in a population at a given time. - Morbidity: The presence of disease or medical conditions within a population. - Mortality: The number of deaths caused by a disease or condition. - Survival Rates: The proportion of patients who survive a disease for a specific period after diagnosis.
