Pereira, D. et al. The effect of osteoarthritis definition on prevalence and incidence estimates: a systematic review.
We used Kaplan-Meier methods to estimate mortality and calculated cumulative incidence estimates of readmission.
Unit medical and productivity costs were computed and then multiplied by corresponding incidence estimates to yield total lifetime costs of violence-related injuries occurring in 2000.
However, incidence estimates, needed to derive future burden, are not as easily available, due to the cost of conducting cohort studies.
After adjustment, the BED incidence estimates were closer to the conventional incidence estimates.
Normally distributed errors around the FRR were assumed in the calculation of assay-derived incidence estimates.
Incidence estimates from cohorts and from cross-sectional analysis differ fundamentally.
Accurate incidence estimates are needed for surveillance of the HIV epidemic.
Thus, uncertainty analysis on the incidence estimates was performed as follows.
HIV incidence estimates can be obtained through repeated HIV testing of individuals in longitudinal surveillances.
Appropriate adjustments of the BED incidence estimates generate estimates similar to those generated conventionally.
