An outbreak of gastroenteritis occurred at a boarding school with a student
enrollment of 846. Fifty-seven students reported symptoms including

,vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, & low-grade fever between 10 p.m. on September
24 & 8 p.m. on September 25. The ill students lived in dormitories that housed
723 of the students. The table below provides information on the number of
students per type of residence & the number reporting illnesses consistent
with the described symptoms & onset time. Calculate the attack rate among
all students at the boarding school.
The answer is found by dividing the total number of cases (57) by the total number
of students (846). This equals 6.7%.

students per type of residence & the number reporting illnesses consistent
with the described symptoms & onset time. Calculate the attack rates for boys
& girls separately.
For boys, the attack rate includes all cases (40 + 3) divided by the total number of
students who are boys (380 + 46). The attack rate is 10.1%.

For girls, the attack rate includes all cases (12 + 2) divided by the total number of
students who are girls (343 + 77). The attack rate is 3.3%.

students per type of residence & the number reporting illnesses consistent
with the described symptoms & onset time. What is the proportion of total
cases occurring in boys?
The proportion of cases occurring in boys is equal to the number of cases in boys
divided by the total number of cases (43/57). This equals 75.4%.

The proportion of cases occurring in dormitory residents is equal to the number of
cases in residents divided by the total number of cases (52/57). This equals 91.2%.

723 of the students. The table below provides information on the number of
students per type of residence & the number reporting illnesses consistent
with the described symptoms & onset time. Which proportion is more
informative for the purpose of the outbreak investigation?
Both proportions are useful. Dormitory residents account for over 90% of the cases
indicating an outbreak of an infectious agent that was transmitted at the school.
Furthermore, over 75% of the cases were boys indicating that the responsible agent
was more likely to have been transmitted in the boys’ dormitory.
A group of researchers are interested in conducting a clinical trial to
determine whether a new cholesterol-lowering agent was useful in preventing
coronary heart disease (CHD). They identified 12,327 potential participants
for the trial. At the initial clinical exam, 309 were discovered to have CHD.
The remaining subjects entered the trial & were divided equally into the
treatment & placebo groups. Of those in the treatment group, 505 developed
CHD after 5 years of follow-up while 477 developed CHD during the same
period in the placebo group. What was the prevalence of CHD at the initial
exam?
The prevalence of CHD at the initial exam was 309 cases of CHD divided by
12,327 participants. This equals a prevalence of 25.1 cases of CHD per 1,000
persons.
