Case Study #1: Look at the following table describing a 5-year study of a population of 5 patients.

We are following these

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Patient 1 Healthy Healthy Healthy No data No data
Patient 2 Healthy ‘A’ Healthy Healthy Healthy
Patient 3 Healthy Healthy Healthy Healthy Healthy
Patient 4 Healthy Healthy Healthy ‘A’ Healthy
Patient 5 Healthy Died

A. What is the total number of person-years of healthy time for this population over the entire follow-up period?
B. Calculate the incidence density for the entire follow-up period.
