surveillance system that collects hospital and private physician reports of influenza cases every

month. During the period between January 1 and April 1, 2005, 2,200 new cases of influenza

occurred in the city. Of these cases, 775 persons were ill with influenza according to

surveillance reports on April 1, 2005. The monthly incidence rate of active cases of influenza for

the 3-month period was:

4 per 1,000 population

 Question 2 What would be the effect on age-specific incidence rates of uterine cancer if women

with hysterectomies were excluded from the denominator of incidence calculations assuming

that most women who have had hysterectomies are older than 50 years of age.

The rates in all age groups would remain the same.

Only rates in women older than 50 years of age would tend to decrease.

 Rates in women younger than 50 years would increase compared to women older than 50

years of age.

Rates would increase in women older than 50 years of age but may decrease in younger

women as they get older.

It cannot be determined whether the rates would increase or decrease.
