Given the fiscal origin of most high inflation and hyperinflation bouts (Heymann and Leijonhufvud 1995), it is not surprising that the literature concentrates on the differential incidence of the inflation tax.24 Ahumada et al. (1993, 2000) have quantified the distributional effects of inflation in Argentina from a tax-incidence perspective.
To examine, from a Canadian population-based perspective, the incidence and etiology of long-term hospital utilization among persons living with traumatic brain injury (TBI) by age and sex.
While such calculations should not be interpreted as precise estimates of cumulative incidence, they provide important perspective in interpreting data from detected cases in situations where extensive surveillance is unlikely to occur.
In an international perspective the incidence of preterm birth in Sweden is low, compared to, for example, the United States, where preterm birth rates are 12% [ 18].
From a hormonal perspective, the incidence of bladder cancer was shown to be higher in postmenopausal than in premenopausal women 15, and aggressive bladder cancers expressed high levels of estrogen receptor- β and few androgen receptors 16– 16.
(To place this in perspective, the incidence of TB in the USA, as reported by the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is 6.2 cases per 100,000 population [ 23]).
From the epidemiological perspective, the incidence of toxigenic C. difficile remained static (0.53 per 1,000 admissions) between 2004 and 2008, but it suddenly increased to 0.95 per 1,000 admissions in 2009.
From a diabetologist's perspective the low incidence of hypoglycemia with glargine in comparison with incidence rates seen in ACCORD is important.
From a public health perspective, our modelled incidence estimates were not suggestive of a major decrease of HIV incidence, which is one of the major goals set by the South African government in the years to come [7].
