in a small town in New York, we initiated a cohort study and followed 5,900 people for a mean follow-up of 2 years. At the end of the 2nd year, none of the participants was lost to follow-up. During this follow-up, we identified 600 cases of malaria. What was the cumulative incidence?
a. 10.1%
b. 10.1 per 1,000
c. 50.8%
d. 10 cases

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size n=5900

Number of newly developed cases No.C=600

Generally the equation for Cumulative Incidence is mathematically given by

[tex]CI=\frac{No.C}{n}[/tex]

[tex]CI=\frac{600}{5900}[/tex]

[tex]CI=0.101[/tex]

[tex]CI= 10.1%[/tex]

Option A
