Common questions

What is the difference between crude mortality rate and case fatality rate?

Crude mortality rate is deaths per population over a period, while case fatality rate is deaths among people who have a specific disease.

How is infant mortality rate calculated?

Divide deaths of infants under one year by live births in the same period, then multiply by 1,000 to get deaths per 1,000 live births.
