| Mar 13 at 22:52 | comment | added | AdamO | Even if I run with the idea that a "rate" can be abstracted to a ratio of any two quantities, (my training was otherwise on this point), what then is a prevalence in and of itself? I think you'll find in the literature, that prevalence is usually a frequency of subjects with events (cases) over subjects at risk (denominator). Perhaps the OP's question should be "is prevalence rate redundant"? | |
