Prevalent Cases, 2001
Definition
Prevalent cases are those people who at any point in time (during the year 2001) had the condition regardless of when it first affected the individual.
Interpretation
For service evaluation and planning; the estimates of disease prevalence will prove valuable; as these reflect persons who are affected by a disease or injury in 2001; regardless of when it first affected the individual. A detailed breakdown by age and sex is provided. Numbers of prevalent cases less than 5 at LGA level are not displayed in accordance with Victorian privacy legislation recently introduced.
Methodology
Prevalent cases for 2001 have been estimated for SLAs and aggregated to LGAs and Regions. For each IRSED/remotesness combination; by disease and sex; standardised prevalence rates were calculated and compared to Victoria for 2001. These rate ratios by disease and sex were then imposed on the 2001 population in each SLA and summed to larger geographic areas. The total Victorian prevalent cases were estimated for the Victorian Burden of Disease Study 2001; after examining for each condition the internal consistency between available estimates of prevalence; deaths; remission and or incidence. Software (DISMOD) specifically designed for this purpose by Harvard University and WHO was used to model the results.
