methods |
- occurrence: Incidence (Cumulative incidence)
- Prevalence (Point prevalence, Period prevalence)
- association: absolute (Absolute risk reduction, Attributable risk, Attributable risk percent)
- relative (Relative risk, Odds ratio, Hazard ratio)
- other: Virulence
- Infectivity
- Mortality rate
- Morbidity
- Case fatality rate
- Specificity and sensitivity
- Likelihood-ratios
- Pre/post-test probability
