Explanation / Answer
Question 1 :
NET DEATH RATE = [Total Number of deaths - deaths under 48 hours] * 100/ [Total Number of discharges minus deaths under 48 hours ]
= 2 * 100 / (600 - 1) = 0.33%
Question 2 :
Adjusted Hospital Autopsy Rate = Total number of hospital autopsy* 100 / [Total number of deaths - Coroner's cases]
= (6 +3) * 100/ (9 + 1 + 4)
= 64.29%
