2. Case-fatality rate—Usually expressed as the percentage of persons diagnosed as having a specified disease who die as a result of that illness within a given period. This term is most frequently applied to a specific outbreak of acute disease in which all patients have been followed for an adequate period of time to include all attributable deaths. The case-fatality rate must be clearly differentiated from the mortality rate (q.v.). (Synonyms: fatality rate, fatality percent-age, case-fatality ratio)
26. Mortality rate—A rate calculated in the same way as an incidence rate (q.v.), by dividing the number of deaths occurring in the population during the stated period of time, usually a year, by the number of persons at risk of dying during the period. A total or crude mortality rate utilizes deaths from all causes, usually expressed as deaths per 1,000. A disease-specific mortality rate covers deaths due to only one disease and is often reported on the basis of 100,000 persons. The population base may be defined by gender, age or other characteristics. The mortality rate must not be confused with case-fatality rate (q.v.). (Synonym: death rate)
