In a study from Finland by Kaisa Huotari et al., the authors' rationale for this approach was that incidence studies solely based on the Finnish Arthroplasty Register (FAR) had a tendency to underestimate the number of PJIs (Jämsen et al. 2009, Huotari et al. 2010).
We then introduce a methodology which yields a non-parametric maximum likelihood estimate of the age-specific incidence distribution based solely on cohort-of-cases data, possibly supplemented with a known birth rate.
The sum of suspected and confirmed cases provided an upper limit on the total possible number of malaria cases seeking care, while the incidence rate based solely on confirmed cases provided a lower limit on the total possible number of cases.
When focusing solely on incidence among those 65 years and older in the present study, we find a similar rate of 19.1 per 1,000 PAR (3,023/157,907).
Conceivably, use of the DALY metric could help reduce a considerable part of overall uncertainty by accounting for sequelae, which are not normally taken into consideration in studies focusing solely on incidence of foodborne illness yet do constitute a substantial part of the overall effects on a population.
Thus, strategies for intervention need to be more specific for any demographic group and not based solely on overall incidence.
However, the exact cause of the declining incidence cannot be defined based solely on a registry study.
Therefore, in the present study, we solely evaluated the incidence of OA as an indicator of oral pain.
Combined data showed that at early pachytene, the incidence of linear-only structures, solely focal or dual patterns was ∼58%, 3% and 40%, respectively.
Italian data on the incidence of CDI are derived solely from a recent European survey and a single-hospital study [ 13, 14].
