fatality rates
Deadly outcome percentages
Fatality rates measure the proportion of deaths within a specific population or from a particular cause.
In medicine, the case fatality rate indicates how often a disease kills those who contract it: The fatality rate for rabies approaches 100% without treatment.
Traffic fatality rates track deaths per miles driven or per capita.
The term appears frequently in discussions of epidemics, workplace safety, and public health policy.
