[edit] Where

Where no time interval is given "The incidence is 3 per 10,000" does this mean per annum?

Who knows?

I believe that is correct--Bakerstmd 15:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect definition?

Is the present definition of this epidemiological term really correct? From what I know epidemiological incidence should be defined as: (The number of cases in a population during a certain period of time) divided with (The sum of time for all individuals where these individuals are at risk to develop the disease). My point is that Incidence is distinct from Cumulative incidence. / 80.217.232.217 13:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

You're right, the article was quite bogus. I fixed it just now. Eubulides 07:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
