Question 7 2 pts Questions 7-9 use the following information: A study from 2016 used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data to identify 10,21:1 men diagnosed with testicular cancer from 2007 to 2011. The investigators examined whether the men's insurance status at time of diagnosis predicted their risk of death during the following five years. The data are shown in the table below (adapted from Markt et al. 2016 Cancer) Outcomee Died Did not die Total Insurance status group: Uninsured 244 819 1,063 Medicaid 239 1091 1,330 insurance Private insurance 938 6,880 7,818 Calculate the following, interpreting each risk per 1,000 men (do your calculations to the first decimal place) 1. The risk of death among uninsured men 2. The risk of death among men with Medicaid insurancee 3. The risk of death among men with private insurance

Answer 1

Risk of death per 1000 men = Number of death/total

number ×1000

• The risk of death among = 244/1, 063×1000  

uninsured men = 229.5

•   The risk of death among = 239/1, 330 × 1000

men with medical insurance = 179.7

• The risk of death among

men with private insurance = 938/7,818 × 1000

= 120
