    A check on the stated parameter when the result is reused for incidence proportion

    Calculates cumulative incidence, also called incidence proportion, over a stated interval. The named quantity is incidence proportion calculator. This is section 1 of the incidence proportion discussion.

    Save the inputs, formula convention, units, exclusions, and unrounded output with this result. This statement is conditional on the incidence proportion setup and section 1.

    For incidence proportion, preserve the source definition, the stated units, and the named convention beside the displayed number. A second analyst should be able to reconstruct the same result without guessing which population or setup was intended.

    What changes when an input moves in the worked condition for incidence proportion

    The denominator must exclude people who already have the outcome at baseline. The named quantity is incidence proportion calculator. This is section 2 of the incidence proportion discussion.

    50 new cases among 950 at-risk people give incidence proportion about .0526. This statement is conditional on the incidence proportion setup and section 2.

    For incidence proportion, preserve the denominator choice, the stated units, and the named convention beside the displayed number. A second analyst should be able to reconstruct the same result without guessing which population or setup was intended.
