Epidemiology
• Definition– “The study of the distribution and
determinants of health-related states or events in specific populations, and the application of this study to control of health problems”
Last, 2001, p. 62

accomplished– Monitor progress of Healthy People 2010

Descriptive Epidemiology
• Based on distribution or patterns of health events in populations
• Attempts to describe a disease entry according to – Person– Place– Time
![Page 7: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

• Determinants of health – events or factors that determine or influence the patterns of
• Questions asked

Analytic Epidemiology
• Investigation of causes and association
• Directed toward understanding the etiology or origins and causal factors of a disease
• Useful for– Guiding or evaluating policies and programs
that improve the health of a community
![Page 10: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Comparison of Analytic/Descriptive Epidemiology
• Analytic studies rely on descriptive comparisons
• Descriptive comparisons shed light on determinants

![Page 16: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Epidemiological Triangle HOST
• A susceptible human or animal who harbors and supports a disease causing agent
• Intrinsic

Epidemiological Triangle ENVIRONMENT
• All factors internal or external to a client that constitute the context in which the client lives and that influences and are influenced by the host and agent-host interactions
![Page 18: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Web of Causation
• Web of Causation– Complex interrelationships of numerous factors
interacting to increase or decrease risk of disease
• The determination based on EVIDENCE or REASONING process that an event or state Resulted FROM or was CAUSED BY some other events, exposure, characteristics, or a combination of them (Causality)
![Page 19: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Person-Place-Time
• Examines the characteristics of– People affected– The place or location– Time period involved
• Considered as variables– Person who is affected– Place where affected– Time when affected
![Page 21: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
• Natural History of Disease the course of progression of a disease from onset to resolution– Prepathogenesis period (Environment)
• Disease has not developed but interactions are occurring between host, agent and environment that produce disease stimulus and increase the host’s potential for disease
– Pathogenesis period (Human)• Begins when disease-producing stimuli start to produce
changes in the tissues of humans
![Page 22: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Natural History and Levels of Prevention
• Primary Prevention– Prepathogenesis
– Adaptation• Adaptive processes are initiated
![Page 23: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Natural History and Levels of Prevention
• Secondary Prevention– Pathogenesis
– Discernable early lesions• Clinical recognition• Early DX and prompt treatment
![Page 24: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Natural History and Levels of Prevention
• Tertiary Prevention treatment to arrest disease or rehabilitation– Clinical Disease
![Page 25: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mortality Rates
• Relative death rate
• Sum of deaths in a given population at a given time– Crude mortality rate – Cause-specific mortality rate– Case fatality rate– Age-specific death rate– Proportional Mortality Ratio
![Page 26: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Mortality Rates
• Crude mortality rate includes • based per on 100,000 population
– #deaths in a year______ Average midyear population
• Ex– # 10,000deaths in St. Petersburg, Fl in 2002 X
100,000
# 350,000of persons in St. Petersburg Fl in July
1, 2002
![Page 27: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Mortality Rates
• Cause-specific actual cause of deaths desired to be measured
• per 100,000
• EX#75 of men who died from pneumonia in St. Petersburg Fl in 2003
X100,000
# 60,000 of men in total population of St. Petersburg, FL, 2003
![Page 28: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Mortality Rates
• Case-fatality– #deaths due to a specific disease X100
cases
# cases of specific disease
• EX
25 deaths from E-coli X 100 cases
300 cases of E-coli
![Page 29: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Mortality Rates
• Age-specific– Enables comparing populations in different locations
• EX# 120 deaths among 45 year olds in Denver CO in 2005 X
100000
# 10,000 of 45 year old people in Denver CO July 1
![Page 30: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Mortality Rates
• Proportional
• Compares number of deaths from a particular cause with deaths from all other causes
# deaths from specific cause in a specified time period X 100
Total # deaths in same time period
# 200 of Cancer deaths in 2001 X 100
# 5000 of total deaths from all causes in 2001
![Page 31: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Morbidity Rates
• Relative incidence of disease – Incidence– Prevalence
![Page 32: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Morbidity Rates
• Incidence– Rates that measure ALL NEW CASES arising in a
population during a defined period of time, usually 1 year
# of new cases in place during time of observation X K
Population in place at midpoint of time
60 new mump cases from 1/07 to 1/08 X 100,000
50,000 population
• K = unit of population
![Page 33: EPIDEMIOLOGY Catherine T. Horat RN MSN CS C-FNP NUR 410 Community Focused Nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ea95503460f94bad960/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Morbidity Rates
• Prevalence measures total number of persons with a characteristic with the total number in the population
• 50 people with chicken pox X K
1000 people in population
