relapse rates

How are Relapse Rates Calculated?

Relapse rates are typically expressed as the number of relapses per person-time or as a cumulative incidence. The formula often used is:
Relapse Rate = (Number of Relapse Events) / (Total Person-Time at Risk)
For example, if 10 patients relapse over a follow-up period of 100 person-years, the relapse rate would be 0.1 per person-year.
