Case Study #1: Look at the following table describing a 5-year study of a population of 5 patients.

We are following these 5 hea

B.           Calculate the incidence density for the entire follow-up period.
11.76 incidence density is 11.76 per 100

Case Study #2:

Compute using direct standardization.
