421-12 structure of causes of death (double checked)

Such ratios calculated for specific age groups or the general population provide information of the underlying structure of causes of death 12★.--Nicolas Brouard 17:51, 5 August 2013 (CEST)

No remark from Stan Becker (double checked).--Nicolas Brouard (talk) 14:23, 7 November 2017 (CET)

422 Intentional and unintentional injury (To be checked)

CDC categories have intentional and unintentional injury. So unintentional includes traffic accidents, drownings, etc.--Stan BECKER 17:31, 25 November 2014 (CET)

Note 1 is added: A distinction is often made between intentional and unintentional injury. (to be checked). --Nicolas Brouard (talk) 14:52, 7 November 2017 (CET)

423-2 epidemic (double checked)

Not all diseases go from epidemic to nothing; many like measles have some low level of endemicity but then flare to epidemic proportions (in absence of vaccination).--Stan BECKER 17:33, 25 November 2014 (CET) Voir les travaux de Pison.--Stan BECKER 17:33, 25 November 2014 (CET)

The AIDS epidemic is clearly an example of an epidemic which doesn't "disappear within a fairly short time"; also AIDS pandemic hasn't be used that much. In the late 80's (our ultimate date for this second unified edition) first models of the AIDS epidemic were just starting (Modelling the Demographic Impact of the AIDS Epidemic in Pattern II Countries --- Progress to Date and Policies for the Future. UN 1989). Thus, I propose to keep this old edition intact. (double checked).--Nicolas Brouard (talk) 15:06, 7 November 2017 (CET)

424-6 Note 6 added Maternal death rate is not a rate but a ratio. (double checked)

Confusion reigns here as old maternal mortality ratio is now the rate and old maternal mortality rate is now the ratio.--Stan BECKER 17:49, 25 November 2014 (CET) WHO changed things; a note to this effect might be nice to put for the oldies among us.--Stan BECKER 17:49, 25 November 2014 (CET)

Yes, I added a note 6:
  • 6. Maternal death rate is an inappropriate, but commonly used, term for a simple ratio.. To be checked. --Nicolas Brouard (talk) 15:16, 7 November 2017 (CET)

425-5 Disability rate (double checked)

This is VERY STRANGE usage. How can a rate be a mean number of days????--Stan BECKER 17:49, 25 November 2014 (CET)

Yes. Note 5 added: Disability rate is an inappropriate, but commonly used, term for a ratio of the number of days lived with illness divide by the number of days lived by the entire population. To be checked.--Nicolas Brouard (talk) 15:27, 7 November 2017 (CET)
  • 5. Disability rate is an inappropriate, but commonly used, term for a ratio of the number of days lived with illness divided by the number of days lived by the entire population, both in the same time interval.. Added by Stan in Denver.--Nicolas Brouard (talk) 03:34, 27 April 2018 (CEST)

426-7 Professional incapacity (double checked)

This sentence seems incomplete and unsure what Professional incapacity is???--Stan BECKER 17:49, 25 November 2014 (CET)

You are right. This term has to be checked.--Nicolas Brouard (talk) 15:30, 7 November 2017 (CET)

No remark from Stan Becker. (double checked).--Nicolas Brouard (talk) 15:35, 7 November 2017 (CET)
