Question

Use the following data to answer questions 20 through 23. (1 point each, total =4 points) During 2017, in a small city of 1,000,000, there were 10,000 deaths from all causes. The Cancer Surveillance System recorded a total of 3,000 cancer cases in the small city during 2017. Among the diagnosed and reported cancer cases (all types), 2,000 6ere among males and the rest (1,000) among females. It was also noted that among all the cases recorded with the Cancer Surveillance System, 600 died from cancer (with males accounting for 500 of those deaths and female the rest) 20. Crude death (mortality) rate in the city in 2017 was 21. The proportionate death (mortality) rate in the city due to all cancers in 2017 was 22. The case fatality rate for cancer (all types) in the city in 2017 was 23. The cause-specific mortality (death) rate for cancer (all types) in the city in 2017 was

Explanation / Answer

20. Crude death rate = 10000/1000000 = 1/100 = 0.01 = 1%

21 . Proportionate death rate because of cancer = 600/10000 = 6/100 = 0.06 = 6%

22. Case fatality rate = 600/3000 = 6/30 = 1/5 = 0.2 = 20%

23. Cause specific mortality rate = 600/ 1000000 = 6/10000 = 0.0006 = 0.06%
