ASSIGN in epi-info

2009-11-26T06:01:10Z

hallo, got a query. I was analyszing a dta set using epi-info and have
ran into some diffficulties with ASSIGN and IF/THEN. This happens with
defined variables i.e once i have defined and assigned /recorded new
variables the programme seems not to accept assigning of other
variables using the variables which were also assigned earlier.

"now for the same question if we want to calculate the incidence rate
(per person-years) what will be the answer??"

This is incidence.

There are a couple of Epi-oriented packages for R, amongst which are:

Epi
epitools

I think in this case we dont need to have calculate the person years as it
is the prevalence not incidence. Here we take total cases out of total
population at the beginning of the study. Unless, untill specified we cant
take person years into consideration. so answer 0.1045 is correct.

Hi Grace,

We don't have much to go on here. I would suggest you consult with your
professor or tutor for a more thorough explanation of what the assignment is
asking.

Thanks,

In Life Table ,what does Mx ( Central Death rate) mean ?
(b) and (c) ask different things? or not?

(b) What is the conditional life expectancy (years to live) for those
who reach 25 years of age? [2 marks]

Person-Years

I am taking an epi class(first time ever) and am confused. How can
person-years be used to derive the SMR.

Re: incidence

2009-09-19T16:59:50Z

hi,
when not stated you assume the new cases occured at mid yea . in this
instance the new cases will contribute 45*0.5=22.5 person years free
from disease
The total person-years(denominator) will be 9000-22.5=8977.5
the incidence will therefore be 45/8977.5 person years
