What Are the Common Epidemiological Measures Used?
Several epidemiological measures are used to study hospitalized patients, including:
Incidence: The number of new cases of a disease in a specific period. Prevalence: The total number of cases of a disease at a given time. Mortality Rate: The number of deaths caused by a disease. Case Fatality Rate: The proportion of deaths among diagnosed cases. Length of Stay: The duration of a patient's hospital stay, often linked to disease severity and resource utilization.
