Here we estimate the real-time delay-adjusted case fatality rate across nine age groups by gender in Chile, the country with the highest testing rate for COVID-19 in Latin America. Methods We used a publicly available real-time daily series of age-stratified COVID-19 cases and deaths ...

COVID-19 was initially an emergency in adults, but for kids it was unclear. The UK’s Financial Times reported the infection fatality rate by age in two periods of time, 2020 and 2022 (Burn‑Murdoch and Barnes2022). The analysis makes clear that in 2020, influenza had a comparable rate...
Using the current age-specific case fatality rate in Italy, the researchers illustrate how population age structure interacts with high COVID-19 mortality rates at older ages to generate large differences in numbers of deaths. In Italy, the predicted number of fatalities was 1.7 times greater than...
Determine age-specific infection fatality rates for COVID-19 to inform public health policies and communications that help protect vulnerable age groups. S
Age of Coronavirus Deaths - COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentages shown below do not have to add up to 100%, as ...
GENEVA, April 9 (Xinhua) -- The fatality rate of COVID-19 is estimated to be 10 times higher than influenza, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said here on Thursday. Speaking at a Mission briefing on COVID-19 from Geneva, the WHO chief said that...
The estimates of φs assuming age independency in symptomatic infections were smaller than those that assumed age independency in mortality. This suggests that the age-dependency of the confirmed case fatality rate (cCFR), which can be biased by the age-dependent difference of the fraction of ...
They found that the incidence of the population aged 80 and above on overall casualties caused by COVID-19 was highly significant. Verity et al. (2020) used a model-based approach to estimate the case fatality ratio associated with age groups in mainland China. They found that the population...
