Case fatality rateSeleniumMicronutrientChinaBackground COVID-19 has impacted populations around the world, with the fatality rate varying dramatically across countries. Selenium, as one of the important micronutrients implicated in viral infections, was suggested to play roles. Methods An ecological study...
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 International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infections Consortium (ISARIC) published their seventh novel coronavirus clinical data report, which gathered statistics of 25,849 COVID-19 inpatients, and discovered case fatality rate to be at 27 percent. This makes the novel coro...
Determine age-specific infection fatality rates for COVID-19 to inform public health policies and communications that help protect vulnerable age groups. S
Based on these studies, some of the Stanford authors have argued that COVID-19 is little worse than the seasonal flu, casting doubt on decisions to mandate shelter-in-place and the closing of many businesses. "Of course, it (the infection fatality rate) matters, for policy decisions," Selj...
The emergence of a new pandemic SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) resulted in a high mortality rate across the world. This study sought to comprehensively analyze the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) associated with COVID-19 in the Khuzestan province of Iran”. The primary
The confounded crude case-fatality rates (CFR) for COVID-19 hide more than they reveal—a comparison of age-specific and age-adjusted CFRs between seven co... The confounded crude case-fatality rates (CFR) for COVID-19 hide more than they reveal—a comparison of age-specific and age-...
Chinese top respiratory expert Zhong Nanshan has responded to the question on when China can return to normalcy, proposing two prerequisites - if fatality rate of COVID-19 drops to around 0.1 percent, and when R0 (R naught), which is the basic reproduction number also known as basic reproduct...
We investigate the COVID-19 mortalities in these countries, which could represent the situation for the overall South American region. We employ COVID-19 dynamic model with-and-without vaccination considering time-varying flexible transmission rate to estimate IFR, IAR and [Math Processing Error]R0...
Background: A key impact measure of COVID-19 pandemic is the case fatality rate (CFR), but estimating it during an epidemic is challenging as the true number of cases may remain elusive. Objective: To estimate the CFR applying a delay-adjusted method across countries, exploring differences to...
