Epidemiological Formulas and Statistics

 

Parameter	Definition	Formula
Incidence (exposed)	Incidence of new cases of disease in persons who were exposed	number (exposed with disease)/total number of exposed
Incidence (unexposed)	Incidence of new cases of disease in persons who were not exposed	number (unexposed with disease)/total number of unexposed
Incidence of Disease	Measure of risk: Total number in a population with a disease divided by the total number of the population	Number with the disease/ total population number
Relative Risk	Risk of disease in one group versus another: Risk of developing a disease after exposure. If this number is 1, it means there is no risk. R(exposed)/Risk (unexposed)	(# exposed with disease[divided by]/total of all exposed) (# of unexposed with disease/[divided by]total of all unexposed)
Odds Ratio	A measure of exposure and disease outcome commonly used in case control studies	R(exposed)     / R (unexposed) 1- R(exposed)     1-R(unexposed)
Prevalence	The number of cases of a disease in a given time regardless of when it began (new and old cases)	(Persons with the disease/ Total population) X 1000
Attributable Risk	The difference in disease in those exposed and unexposed and is calculated from prospective data; directly attributed to exposure (if exposure is gone, disease would be gone)	R(exposed)-R(unexposed)/R(exposed) X 100
Crude Birth Rate	The number of live births per 1,000 people in the population	(# of births/estimated midyear population) X 1000
Crude Death Rate	The number of deaths per 1,000 people in the population	(# of deaths/estimated midyear population) X 1000
Fetal Death Rate	The number of fetal deaths (20 weeks or more gestation) per 1,000 live births	(# of fetal deaths/ # of live births + fetal deaths) X 1000
Annual Mortality Rate	Usually an expression of a specific disease or can be all causes per 1,000 people for a year	(# of deaths of all causes (or a specific disease)/midyear population) X 1000
Cause Specific Mortality Rate	Usually an expression of a specific disease per 1,000 people for a year	(# of deaths per a specific disease)/midyear population) X 1000
Case Fatality Rate	The parentage of individuals who have a specific disease and die within a specific time after diagnosis	(# of persons dying from a disease after diagnosis or set period/ # of persons with the disease) X 100

 

Answer the following questions. Remember that there is only one right answer for each item.

The DNP Essentials (AACN, 2006) outline a number of population health competencies for the DNP-prepared nurse. Reflect on the NR704 course readings, discussion threads, and applications you have completed across this course and write a reflective essay regarding the extent to which you feel you are now prepared to:

1.            “Analyze epidemiological, biostatistical, environmental, and other appropriate scientific data related to individual, aggregate, and population health.

2.            Synthesize concepts, including psychosocial dimensions and cultural diversity, related to clinical prevention and population health in developing, implementing, and evaluating interventions to address health promotion/disease prevention efforts, improve health status/access patterns, and/or address gaps in care of individuals, aggregates, or populations.

3.            Evaluate care delivery models and/or strategies using concepts related to community, environmental and occupational health, and cultural and socioeconomic dimensions of health” (AACN, 2006, p. 16).
