We present a method for estimating incidence from age-specific prevalence data for an irreversible disease where the mortality risks may differ for persons with and without the disease. This method is an extension of previously presented methodology for estimating incidence from prevalence for a disease that does not entail differential mortality. An application to senile cataract illustrates the method.
我们提出了一种从不可逆疾病的年龄特异性患病率数据估计发病率的方法，该疾病患者和非患者的死亡风险可能不同。此方法是先前提出的从不伴有差异死亡率的疾病患病率估计发病率方法的扩展。对老年性白内障的应用说明了该方法。
