A public‑health study compared drug‑related hospital admissions in two regions over one year. - Region X: population \(1{,}200{,}000\); total admissions \(480\); of these, \(60\%\) involved opioid abuse. - Region Y: population \(950{,}000\); total admissions \(570\); of these, \(70\%\) involved opioid abuse. (a) Compute the incidence rate of admissions per 100 000 population for each region. (b) Compute the relative risk (RR) of admission in Region Y compared with Region X. (c) State the proportion of opioid‑related admissions in each region. (d) Assuming the programme in Region X is the only difference, estimate how many admissions were potentially prevented in Region X by comparing its observed admissions with the number that would be expected if Region X had the same incidence as Region Y. Express this as a percentage reduction. Provide the numerical answers to one decimal place where appropriate.

Answer Options

A. Incidence X = 40.0 per 100 000; Incidence Y = 60.0 per 100 000; RR = 1.4; Opioid proportion X = 60 %; Opioid proportion Y = 70 %; Admissions prevented = 240, representing a 30.0 % reduction
B. Incidence X = 45.0 per 100 000; Incidence Y = 60.0 per 100 000; RR = 1.33; Opioid proportion X = 55 %; Opioid proportion Y = 70 %; Admissions prevented = 240, representing a 33.3 % reduction
C. Incidence X = 40.0 per 100 000; Incidence Y = 60.0 per 100 000; RR = 1.5; Opioid proportion X = 60 %; Opioid proportion Y = 70 %; Admissions prevented = 210, representing a 29.2 % reduction
Correct Answer D. Incidence X = 40.0 per 100 000; Incidence Y = 60.0 per 100 000; RR = 1.5; Opioid proportion X = 60 %; Opioid proportion Y = 70 %; Admissions prevented = 240, representing a 33.3 % reduction
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Incidence X = 40.0 per 100 000; Incidence Y = 60.0 per 100 000; RR = 1.5; Opioid proportion X = 60 %; Opioid proportion Y = 70 %; Admissions prevented = 240, representing a 33.3 % reduction
