Solution Summary

This explains the difference between cause-specific fatality rate and case fatality rate.

Solution Preview

A cause-specific fatality rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths from that cause by the total population size. For example, to find the cause-specific fatality rate for heart disease (per 1000 ...
