What patterns do you detect? Often in disease outbreak investigations we want to see a pattern for a particular problem. Think back to the 'white board' approach from a previous question and consider the types of information about individuals that may help you look for patterns. Select from the list below attributes that may help you You can chosse all or some I choose Time of disease onset and occuption but there is more I guess Occupation Hair color Gender Weight Age Time of disease onset
Consider the figure attached, showing seven people studied between point A and B, and where the position of the numbers marks the onset of the disease in the people depicted. Supposing the total number of persons observed between A and B was 100, calculate the Point prevalence at A and B , Period prevalence and what disease measures could be computed for analytic studies?
At the beginning of 2013, 32% of Americans had high blood pressure. This statement is an example of which type of measure? Attack rate Prevalence Incidence rate Cumulative incidence
Calculating Incidence versus Prevalence The picture represents 10 new cases of illness over about 15 months in a population of 20 persons. Each horizontal line represents one person. The down arrow indicates the date of onset of illness. The solid line represents the duration of illness. The up arrow and the cross represent the date of recovery and date of death, respectively. The picture New: Cases of Illness from October 1, 2004–September 30, 2005 Question: Calculate the period prevalence from October 1, 2004, to September 30, 2005. The numerator of period prevalence includes anyone who was ill any time during the period. In Figure 3.1, the first 10 persons were all ill at some time during the period.
In the context of a case-control study, a pro of recruiting incident cases rather than prevalent cases is: a. Incidence is easier to assess than prevalence b. Incidence provides a measure of the burden of disease at one “snapshot” in time c. Using incident cases allows researchers to account for case-deaths that would not be evident if only prevalent cases were considered d. None of the above

The picture New: Cases of Illness from October 1, 2004–September 30, 2005 Question: Calculate the incidence rate from October 1, 2004, to September 30, 2005, using the midpoint population (population alive on April 1, 2005) as the denominator. Express the rate per 100 population.
What best describes a risk factor? a. cause of a disease or condition from teh onset to resoultion b. Probability or likehood that a disease or illness will occur ina group of people who presently do not have the problem c. Primary measurement used to describe either the occurence or the existence of a specific state of health or illness d. Characteristic or event that has been shown to increase the probability that a specific diseae or illness will develop
The study by Alwan and colleagues concluded that surveillance and interventions to reduce the incidence and prevalence of chronic disease was adequate in most countries. True False
An epidemiologist recruits 250 people for a cohort study. Of these potential study subjects, 11 are prevalent cases. The remaining study subjects are followed for 5 years, during which time 21 individuals develop the disease being studied.What is the prevalence of disease at the start of the study Assume all of the cases are still around at the end of the study. What is the prevalence now and What is the incidence proportion over the period of observation?
Why is it important and crucial for investigators to examine incidence density rather than cumulative incidence of intravenous drug use (IDU) in the studies that followed non-ID users over time? A. Incidence density increases with a greater follow-up period B. Incidence density is a better measure for a uniform follow-up period C. Incidence density is a rate, and, hence, accounts for different follow-up periods D. None of the above
In an area of Washington, the occurrence of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) was investigated among the native white population (679,478 individuals) and among those of Japanese origin (16,122 individuals). At the time of the investigation it was found that for the two groups there were 395 and 10 cases of MS respectively. Which measure of disease occurrence can be calculated? Calculate it for each group.
