The 12 pages that link to Incidence, each with the reason it gives.

• EpidemiologyRelated: It measures how quickly new cases emerge, distinguishing risk over time from existing burden.

• PharmacovigilanceRelated: Estimating event frequency requires denominators that spontaneous reports often lack.

• Risk factorRelated: Risk estimates often depend on how frequently new outcomes occur.

• Public health surveillanceRelated: New-case rates help distinguish rising transmission from a large existing burden.

• MortalityCompared with: Incidence measures new disease events, not deaths, though it can inform later mortality.

• PrevalenceCompared with: Unlike prevalence, incidence counts new cases rather than everyone currently affected.

• Outbreak investigationRelated: Incidence helps distinguish a genuine increase from a high but stable case count.

• Basic reproduction numberNarrower topic: Incidence is an observed epidemic outcome, whereas R₀ describes transmission potential.

• EpidemicRelated: New-case rates help show whether disease occurrence is rising above its expected level.

• Parasite ecologyRelated: Incidence tracks new infections and helps distinguish ongoing spread from persistent cases.

• Epidemiology of HIV/AIDSRelated: HIV incidence tracks the pace of new infections rather than the total living with HIV.

• EpizootiologyRelated: Incidence measures how quickly new disease cases arise in animal populations.
