Incidenceanalyysit
Incidenceanalyysit, often translated as incidence analysis, is a statistical method used to study the occurrence of new cases of a disease or health condition within a defined population over a specific period. It focuses on identifying the rate at which new events arise. This contrasts with prevalence, which measures the total number of existing cases at a given point in time. Incidence analysis is crucial for understanding the dynamics of diseases, evaluating the effectiveness of prevention strategies, and predicting future disease trends.
The core of incidence analysis involves calculating the incidence rate, which is the number of new cases
Key applications of incidence analysis include public health surveillance, where it helps track outbreaks and monitor
