Several criteria are typically used in cross disease comparisons:
Incidence: The number of new cases over a specific period. Prevalence: The total number of cases at a given time. Mortality Rates: The number of deaths caused by the disease. Transmission Mode: How the disease spreads (e.g., airborne, vector-borne). Risk Factors: Shared and unique factors that increase susceptibility. Clinical Manifestations: Symptoms and severity of the disease.
