For the first and last numbers you find:
- Calculate the prevalence for a population of 100,000 people at risk
A. First number: 5 cases and 2 deaths →
5
𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 = 230,000,000
· 100, 000 = 0. 00217...
So, approximately 0.0022 people are expected to have AIDS per 100,000 people.
B. Last number: 8408 cases and 6305 deaths →
8408
𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 = 230,000,000
· 100, 000 = 3. 65...
So, approximately 3.7 people are expected to have AIDS per 100,000 people.
- Calculate the case fatality rate in percentages
