A crude rate is the ratio of the number of people in which the event of interest happens in a specified time period to the size of the population who may experience this event during the same time period. There are no adjustments made when a crude rate is given
The number of new cases or deaths due to a disease over the total population that could be affected, without considering age or other factors. It is usually expressed as a rate per 100,000 persons per year.
The number of cases or deaths per 100,000 persons per year without adjusting for age or other potential confounding factors.
The number of new cases or deaths per 100,000 persons per year. Age and sex distributions are not taken into consideration in the calculation.
The rate of an outcome calculated without any restrictions (such as age, race, or sex) for who is counted in the numerator or denominator.
Absolute number of cases or deaths in a given population during a given time frame divided by the population in the given geographic area. There are no adjustments made when a crude rate is presented.
The rate of any demographic or vital event that is based on an entire population.
The number of new cases of cancer or cancer deaths during the year expressed as a rate per 100,000 people in the population, without regard to the ages of the people.
The rate of any demographic event computed for an entire population.
This kind of rate is not age-standardised and therefore does not adjust for the possible confounding effect of the age structure of a population.
A crude rate is the number of new cases (or deaths) occurring in a specified population per year, usually expressed as the number of cases per 100,000 population at risk.
