Question Scenario for questions 7-12. Suppose that you are funded to engagein a study of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a fixed population of 2,000 people. The study lasts for three years (January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2014). At the beginning of the study (January 1, 2012), 20 people are identified as already having COPD. Fifteen additional people develop COPD during 2012, and five of those people with COPD died (these fifteen people are at risk for a total of 9.5 person-years during 2012); five additional people developed COPD in 2013, and three of those people with COPD died (these five people are also at risk for a total of 10 person-years); ten additional people developed COPD in 2014, and one person died with COPD (these ten people are at risk for a total of 33.5 person years).  9.    What is the period prevalence rate (per 1,000) of COPD during 2013?  11. What is the incidence rate (per 1,000) of COPD for 2014? My main question is do you subtract the people who died from the denominator when you set up the question?   Health Science Science Nursing NURS 743 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
