Since the probability of developing or dying from most neurologic disorders is relatively small, the Poisson distribution is often utilized to establish confidence intervals around rates or ratios for diseases of the nervous system. A simplified method is described and a table of factors is provided based on the Poisson distribution for calculating confidence intervals around estimates of rates and ratios derived from neuroepidemiologic studies.
