Suppose the incidence rate of myocardial infarction (MI) was 5 per 1000 among 45- to 54-year-old men in 2000. To look at changes in incidence over time, 5000 men in this age group were followed for 1 year starting in 2010. Fifteen new cases of MIl were found. Suppose that 25% of patients with MI in 2000 died within 24 hours. This proportion is called the 24-hour case-fatality rate,
