Point prevalence refers to the prevalence measured at a particular point in time. It is the proportion of persons with a particular disease or attribute on a particular date. Period prevalence refers to prevalence measured over an interval of time. It is the proportion of persons with a particular disease or attribute at any time during the interval. The value of 10 n is usually 1 or for common attributes. The value of 10 n might be 1,, ,, or even 1,, for rare attributes and for most diseases.
In a survey of 1, women who gave birth in Maine in , a total of reported taking a multivitamin at least 4 times a week during the month before becoming pregnant. Figure 3. Each horizontal line represents one person. The down arrow indicates the date of onset of illness. The solid line represents the duration of illness. The up arrow and the cross represent the date of recovery and date of death, respectively.
Image Description. Example A: Calculate the incidence rate from October 1, , to September 30, , using the midpoint population population alive on April 1, as the denominator. Express the rate per population. Example B: Calculate the point prevalence on April 1, Point prevalence is the number of persons ill on the date divided by the population on that date. On April 1, seven persons persons 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10 were ill. Example C: Calculate the period prevalence from October 1, , to September 30, The numerator of period prevalence includes anyone who was ill any time during the period.
In Figure 3. For each of the fractions shown below, indicate whether it is an incidence proportion, incidence rate, prevalence, or none of the three. Check your answer.
Description: Before October 1, six people became ill; 2 of them died before April 1. Between October 1 and September 30, four more persons became ill. Six more persons died after April 1.

Likewise, of the newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients, 50 would die in the first year and 50 would die in the second year. That comes down to a case fatality of 1 per 2 person years for the first year after diagnosis.
This is simply the comparison of two case fatalities, expressed as a ratio. So the cholera:tuberculosis case fatality ratio is or Usually we put the greater killer first, so the TB:cholera case fatality ratio is 2.
In this sense, it is a comparison between 2 populations, similar as we do with odd ratio, risk ratio, sex ratio etc. The Case Fatality Ratio could also be used to assess the impact of an intervention. This leads to a Case Fatality Ratio of 40 or more when comparing untreated and treated groups of cholera patients.
