| Jul 16, 2018 at 13:46 | comment | added | MHuck | I've seen other studies that indicate that the risk for a certain disease is 70 cases per 100,000 people. And, as mentioned before, I have seen a study that reports 4 cases per 1000 person months for the same disease. How do I compare these two different estimates of risk? How do I know if they are similar? Thank you very much. | |
