Formula Value Absolute risk increase ARI EER − CER: 0.1, or 10% Number needed to harm: NNH 1 / (EER − CER) 10 Relative risk (risk ratio) RR EER / CER: 1.25 Relative risk increase RRI (EER − CER) / CER, or RR − 1 0.25, or 25% Attributable fraction among the exposed: AF e (EER − CER) / EER: 0.2 Odds ratio: OR (EE / EN) / (CE / CN) 1.5
This expression has limitations concerning the susceptibility proportion, e.g. the R 0 equals 0.5 implicates S has to be 2, however this proportion exceeds the population size. [citation needed] Assume the rectangular stationary age distribution and let also the ages of infection have the same distribution for each birth year.
In epidemiology, attributable fraction among the exposed (AF e) is the proportion of incidents in the exposed group that are attributable to the risk factor. The term attributable risk percent among the exposed is used if the fraction is expressed as a percentage. [ 1 ]
Equivalently it can be calculated as = + (), where is the exposed proportion of the population and is the relative risk not adjusted for confounders. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is used when an exposure increases the risk, as opposed to reducing it, in which case its symmetrical notion is preventable fraction for the population .
In epidemiology, preventable fraction among the unexposed (PFu), is the proportion of incidents in the unexposed group that could be prevented by exposure.It is calculated as = / =, where is the incidence in the exposed group, is the incidence in the unexposed group, and is the relative risk.
In epidemiology, case fatality rate (CFR) – or sometimes more accurately case-fatality risk – is the proportion of people who have been diagnosed with a certain disease and end up dying of it. Unlike a disease's mortality rate, the CFR does not take into account the time period between disease onset and death. A CFR is generally expressed ...
The formula for calculating the NEPP is = where N = population size,; P d = prevalence of the disease,; P e = proportion eligible for treatment,; r u = risk of the event of interest in the untreated group or baseline risk over appropriate time period (this can be multiplied by life expectancy to produce life-years),
For the full specification of the model, the arrows should be labeled with the transition rates between compartments. Between S and I, the transition rate is assumed to be (/) / = /, where is the total population, is the average number of contacts per person per time, multiplied by the probability of disease transmission in a contact between a susceptible and an infectious subject, and / is ...
