Examples of crude death rate in the following topics:

  • Mortality

    • If you have a tank of one thousand goldfish and 100 die in the first year, they exhibit a mortality rate, or crude death rate, of 100 deaths/1000 members of the population, or 10%.
    • This measure is also called the crude death rate.
    • As of July 2009 the crude death rate for the whole world is about 8.37 per 1000 per year according to the current CIA World Factbook.
    • The crude death rate is a measure of how many people per 1000 members of a population die each year.
    • Explain the various ways mortality is calculated, such as the crude death rate, infant mortality rate and life expectancy

  • Data and Methods

    • ., birth, death, marriage registrations).
    • crude birth rate: the annual number of live births per thousand people
    • crude death rate: the annual number of deaths per 1000 people
    • infant mortality rate: the annual number of deaths of children less than 1 year old per thousand live births
    • Note that the crude death rate as defined above and applied to a whole population can give a misleading impression.

  • Fertility

    • There are a number of different approaches to measuring fertility rate—such as crude birth rate (CBR), general fertility rate (GFR), child-woman ratio (CWR), total fertility rate (TFR), gross reproduction rate (GRR), and net reproduction rate (NRR).
    • Crude birth rate (CBR) is the number of live births in a given year per 1,000 people alive at the middle of that year.
    • TFR equals the sum for all age groups of 5 times each ASFR rate.
    • The TFR (or TPFR—total period fertility rate) is a better index of fertility than the crude birth rate because it is independent of the age structure of the population, but it is a poorer estimate of actual completed family size than the total cohort fertility rate.
    • Gross reproduction rate (GRR) is the number of girl babies who would be born to a woman completing her reproductive life at current age-specific fertility rates.

  • The Demographic Transition

    • The demographic transition is a model and theory describing the transition from high birth rates and death rates to low birth and death rates that occurs as part of the economic development of a country.
    • In pre-industrial societies, population growth is relatively slow because both birth and death rates are high.
    • In most post-industrial societies, birth and death rates are both low.
    • This is depicted in the diagram when death rates fall in stage two but birth rates do not fall until stage three.
    • By the end of stage three, birth rates drop to fall in line with the lower death rates.

  • Pulse

    • Pulse is often used as an equivalent of heart rate due to the relative ease of measurement; heart rate can be measured by listening to the heart directly through the chest, traditionally using a stethoscope.
    • Pulse varies with age; a newborn or infant can have a heart rate of about 130-150 bpm.
    • The heart rate may be greater or less than the pulse rate depending upon physiologic demand.
    • In this case, the heart rate is determined by auscultation or audible sounds at the heart apex, not the pulse.
    • Radial pulse is commonly measured using three fingers: the finger closest to the heart used to occlude the pulse pressure, the middle finger used get a crude estimate of blood pressure, and the finger most distal to the heart used to nullify the effect of the ulnar pulse as the two arteries are connected via the palmar arches.

  • Genital Warts

    • It appears to have higher clearance rates than podophyllotoxin and imiquimod and causes less local irritation, but clearance takes longer than with imiquimod.
    • However, this crude herbal extract is not recommended for use on vagina, urethra, perianal area, or cervix, and must be applied by a physician.
    • Reported reactions include nausea, vomiting, fever, confusion, coma, renal failure, ileus, and leukopenia; death has been reported with extensive topical application, or application on mucous membranes.
    • More effective than cryosurgery and recurrence is at a much lower rate.

  • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

    • Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is marked by the sudden death of an infant that is not predicted by medical history.
    • Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is marked by the sudden death of an infant that is not predicted by medical history and remains unexplained after a thorough forensic autopsy and detailed death scene investigation.
    • As infants are at the highest risk for SIDS during sleep, it is sometimes referred to as cot death or crib death.
    • Supporting evidence for an X-linkage is found by examining other causes of infant respiratory death, such as suffocation by inhalation of food or other foreign objects.
    • It should only be applied to an infant whose death is sudden and unexpected, and which remains unexplained after the performance of an adequate postmortem investigation, including: an autopsy, investigation of the death scene and circumstances of the death and exploration of the medical history of the infant and family.

  • Petroleum Biodegradation

    • Petroleum (crude oil) is a liquid fossil fuel.
    • The addition of nitrogen and phosphorus to the Alcanivorax environment increases its growth rate.
    • Aside from hydrocarbons, crude oil contains additional toxic compounds, such as pyridine.

  • Uses of Derivatives to Manage Exposure

    • The rate of interest on the loan resets every six months.
    • The corporation could buy a forward rate agreement (FRA), which is a contract to pay a fixed rate of interest six months after purchases on a notional amount of money.
    • If the interest rate after six months is above the contract rate, the seller will pay the difference to the corporation, or FRA buyer.
    • If the rate is lower, the corporation will pay the difference to the seller.
    • This graph shows the price of crude oil between August 2008 and January 2009.

  • Cardiac Cycle

    • Heart rate is a term used to describe the frequency of the cardiac cycle.
    • Usually heart rate is calculated as the number of contractions (heartbeats) of the heart in one minute and expressed as "beats per minute" (bpm).
    • Resting heart rates can be significantly lower in athletes and significantly higher in the obese.
    • Exercise, environmental stress, or psychological stress can cause the heart rate to increase above the resting rate.
    • The pulse is the most straightforward way of measuring the heart rate, but it can be a crude and inaccurate measurement when cardiac output is low.
