The aim of calculating the "Standardized Incidence Ratio" SIR is to compare the incidence in the cohort with the general population. It is investigated whether the incidence in the cohort differs from that in the general population. It is calculated how many cases one would expect to see in the cohort if the incidence in the cohort were the same as in the general population. To calculate the SIR, the observed cases from the cohort are divided by the expected cases .
