Quiz 4, Module Sars2
4. Calculate the primary attack rate for the outbreak in the Amoy Apartment Complex (hint: 65 residents of the Amoy Apartment Complex were hospitalized at the Epiville General Hospital and 1 resident was hospitalized at the Star Hospital).
Answer —
none: 65+1 = # cases of SARS at Amoy Apartment Complex
600 = # at risk (residents of the Amoy Apartment Complex including those that came to the luau party and those who did not
(66/600)*1,000 = 110 cases of SARS per 1,000 population at risk of SARS
Note: this is the same answer you obtained for the incidence calculation in SARS 1 study.
