MS-1901
A pediatrician is conducting a study of asthma in her clinic’s population, looking at data over the past year. In total, the clinic has 1500 patients registered last year. Using the medical record searching system, she discovers that, in total, twenty patients registered to her practice are currently living with asthma. This includes ten new cases of asthma. Five patients have also died from the disease.
What are the incidence and prevalence, respectively, per 100,000 people?
