It can be used in contexts related to insurance, finance, or demographics, where it refers to the expectation or estimation of death rates within a population.
Example: "The insurance company based its premium rates on the assumption of mortality derived from historical data."
Alternatives: "mortality expectation" or "death rate assumption".
A power calculation was performed with the assumption of 5% mortality and 30% of pLOS in the patient population; therefore 110 patients with an estimated drop-out of 10% were prospectively included.
The classical assumption of constant mortality is stemmed from the intuition that mosquitoes die, not of old age, but of environmental causes that are not age related.
The assumption of equal mortality risks for Telephone Counselling and Real Control is therefore conservative, and may underestimate the value of the Telephone Counselling program.
This work develops a simple mathematical model to assess how relaxing the classical assumption of constant mortality affects the predicted effectiveness of anti-vectorial interventions.
Our assumption of 18% mortality without treatment does not seem excessive considering that, in 9 randomised trials of hospital treatment of SAM, short term mortality rates ranged from 16%46%46% (median 20%) among control group children who received conventional treatment [ 5].
Although results were generally stable under different model assumptions, estimates of mortality associated with influenza B were close to zero in constant variance models.
Specifically, this work aims to answer (1) how predicted mosquito control effectiveness is affected by replacing the classical assumption of a constant mortality hazard with an age dependent mortality hazard and (2) whether these results depend on the EIP.
We formulated scenario assumptions of fertility, mortality and migration for the period 2015 2050 and also produce projection results for that period.
These two models were also flexible to different assumptions of background mortality.
