24 Calculate the case-fatality rate of malaria

24 Calculate the case-fatality rate of malaria among the incident cases in the study population Express as a percentage, and round to the nearest tenth. Include only the numerical answer (no units) in the answer box A hypothetical population of 2180 young children living in Burkina Faso was recruited for a 2-year study of malaria. Upon initial exam prior to the start of follow-up, 250 cases of the disease were diagnosed and excluded from further study. Over the 2-year study period, 1300 new cases of malaria were diagnosed among the children being followed, and 218 of those incident cases died from the disease. The study participants contributed 2400 person-years of follow-up time. 25 Calculate the incidence rate for malaria per 1,000 population during this study Round to the nearest whole number. Include only the numerical answer (no units) in the answer box A hypothetical population of 2180 young children living in Burkina Faso was recruited for a 2-year study of malaria. Upon initial exam prior to the start of follow-up, 250 cases of the disease were diagnosed and excluded from further study. Over the 2-year study period, 1300 new cases of malaria were diagnosed among the children being followed, and 218 of those incident cases died from the disease. The study participants contributed 2400 person-years of follow-up time. 26 The incidence rate that you calculated above describes: The proportion of children who had malaria at the start of the study The percentage of children with malaria who died from malaria during the study period The new cases of malaria that developed during the study per 1000 children per year The risk of contracting malaria during the 2-year study period.
