With the hospitals overwhelmed during the early pandemic, access to emergency department visits for non-COVID related reasons was of major concern. The study by Abel et al. examines the impact of the pandemic on the incidence rate of Ob/Gyn emergency department visits in the Kaiser Permanente healthcare system in Northern California. The authors compared three time periods in 2020: pre-pandemic 1/1-3/3, early pandemic 3/4-5/19, and late pandemic 5/20-9/1.

For each of the three periods in 2020, the number of Ob-Gyn emergency department visits, and their length of follow-up, was recorded as follows:

	Obstetric visits	Gynecological visits	Length of follow-up (in person-weeks)
Pre-pandemic (1/1-3/3 in 2020)	2,774	4,111	16,329,501
Early pandemic (3/4-5/19 in 2020)	1,931	2,972	20,027,519
Late pandemic (5/20-9/1 in 2020)	3,327	6,096	27,322,420

For all subsequent questions, please show your work with proper units. We suggest you express your answers per 100,000 person-weeks for convenience.

Calculate the incidence rates of obstetric emergency department visits in each of the pandemic periods in 2020:

a. Pre-pandemic

b. Early pandemic

c. Late pandemic

CORIS RA is a government owned enterprise which is legislated to generate its own income which it uses to cover capital and recurrent expenditures. The legislations also give the government the powers to order CORIS RA to transfer all or part of the income it generates to the consolidated fund as it deems fit.
