prevalences due to pathologies Explanation: In this context the only term asked to translate is this: "prevalencias por patologías"... and this will be the exact translation even the text given mention numbers, etc |

depending on the condition Explanation: 1. 500 cases per 250,000 births is already a rate, so you don't need to translate 'prevalence' (in this case it's actually 'incidence', not 'prevalence', anyway; most people confuse the two concepts). 2. The "patologías" are more likely to be conditions of pregnancy, not 'diseases'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2015-07-07 20:11:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could argue that structural anomalies are listed in the International Classification of Diseases, but this text is for an everyday audience, and everyday people tend to think of it more as a condition than a disease. |

disease prevalence/prevalence rates for diseases Explanation: Disease prevalence - Tees JSNA www.teesjsna.org.uk/middlesbrough-disease-prevalence/ Disease prevalence. Prevalence rates for selected diseases/conditions are available from the Health and Social Care Information Centre. The following table ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2015-07-07 22:02:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.advancedrenaleducation.com/generaltopics/basicsta... Incidence and prevalence are terms commonly used in describing disease epidemiology. Incidence Incidence is the rate of new (or newly diagnosed) cases of the disease. It is generally reported as the number of new cases occurring within a period of time (e.g., per month, per year). It is more meaningful when the incidence rate is reported as a fraction of the population at risk of developing the disease (e.g., per 100,000 or per million population). Obviously, the accuracy of incidence data depends upon the accuracy of diagnosis and reporting of the disease. In some cases (including ESRD) it may be more appropriate to report the rate of treatment of new cases since these are known, whereas the actual incidence of untreated cases is not. Incidence rates can be further categorized according to different subsets of the population – e.g., by gender, by racial origin, by age group or by diagnostic category. Prevalence Prevalence is the actual number of cases alive, with the disease either during a period of time (period prevalence) or at a particular date in time (point prevalence). Period prevalence provides the better measure of the disease load since it includes all new cases and all deaths between two dates, whereas point prevalence only counts those alive on a particular date. |
