Answer:
The gap in medical terms can be defined as, "The graph or simulation which provides us with the number of people who are dealing with an illness, disease, or any disorder who needs treatment but do not get enough facilities to be well treated."
"The asymptomatic diseases or disorders which are have no signs of presence inside a human body are termed as sub-clinical infections."
Step-by-step explanation:
- Basically, gap is a percentage of people who do not get enough medical facilities while they are suffering from illness or more over sub-clinical infection. The gap indirect technique can provide us with a set of data which gives an over all view of the conditions of the patient facing disorders and illness in a particular region.
- As, in the indirect method the total number of drugs or anti-bacterial or anti-viral products in the regional market are measured, where people are suffering from sub-clinical infections.
- And then with the prevalence data we get the idea of the number of patients who are suffering from the sub-clinical infections present in the specific region are represented by (n¹).
- With that we get the total number of the drug supply data of the region, termed as (n²) is used to calculate the number of patients which can be possibly be treated with the given procedure and supply of medicines.
- For the gap we have a formula as;
(n¹ₓn²/n¹) ₓ100,
- So, we can be able to find a number of people who are suffering from any such disorders and then the possibility of treatment if we follow the procedure given to us as Gap.
