epidemiological indicators

How Are These Indicators Calculated?

Each indicator has a specific formula:
Incidence Rate: Incidence Rate = (Number of New Cases / Population at Risk) x 100,000
Prevalence Rate: Prevalence Rate = (Total Number of Cases / Total Population) x 100,000
Mortality Rate: Mortality Rate = (Number of Deaths / Population) x 100,000
Case Fatality Rate: Case Fatality Rate = (Number of Deaths from Disease / Number of Diagnosed Cases) x 100
Reproductive Number (R0): This is often estimated using complex mathematical models.
