Question

A community diagnosis survey conducted in “X” district, 01 Kebele, in 2004; provided the data below:

 Total population at the Beginning of the year = 80,000
 Total popn at the end of the year …………… = 100,000
 Number of female popn ……………………. = 40,000
 Total deaths ……………………………….... = 2000
 Total female deaths ……………………….... = 1000
 Number of live births ……………………… = 1600
 Number of infant deaths …………………… = 120
 Deaths due to TB …………………………… = 50
 Number of TB cases ………………………... = 200
Calculate:
12.1. The crude death rate 12.2. The females’ death rate
12.3. The Cause specific death rate (Tuberculosis) 12.4. The infant mortality rate
12.5. The case fatality rate of tuberculosis

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

12.1. The crude death rate: The crude death rate is calculated by dividing the total number of deaths in the population by the total population and multiplying the result by 1000. In this example, the crude death rate would be calculated as follows: Crude death rate = (2000 / 80000) * 1000 = 25 deaths per 1000 population.

12.2. The female death rate: The female death rate is calculated by dividing the number of female deaths in the population by the total number of female population and multiplying the result by 1000. In this example, the female death rate would be calculated as follows: Female death rate = (1000 / 40000) * 1000 = 25 deaths per 1000 female population.

12.3. The Cause specific death rate (Tuberculosis): The cause specific death rate for tuberculosis is calculated by dividing the number of deaths due to tuberculosis by the total population and multiplying the result by 1000. In this example, the cause specific death rate for tuberculosis would be calculated as follows: Cause specific death rate (tuberculosis) = (50 / 80000) * 1000 = 0.625 deaths per 1000 population due to tuberculosis.

12.4. The infant mortality rate: The infant mortality rate is calculated by dividing the number of infant deaths by the total number of live births and multiplying the result by 1000. In this example, the infant mortality rate would be calculated as follows: Infant mortality rate = (120 / 1600) * 1000 = 75 infant deaths per 1000 live births.

12.5. The case fatality rate of tuberculosis: The case fatality rate of tuberculosis is calculated by dividing the number of deaths due to tuberculosis by the total number of tuberculosis cases and multiplying the result by 100. In this example, the case fatality rate of tuberculosis would be calculated as follows: Case fatality rate (tuberculosis) = (50 / 200) * 100 = 25% case fatality rate of tuberculosis.
