Italy has been one of the most severely affected countries by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the case fatality rate (CFR) estimated based on Italian data is one of the highest worldwide. We analyzed public data from the first 50 days of the epidemic in Italy (from February 24 to April 13...

Moreover, a substantial proportion of the population in European countries has been vaccinated by 2022, likely reducing the severity of illness and the case fatality related to COVID-19. Finally, there were severe influenza waves in late 2022 that probably contributed significantly to the regional ...

It is also known as the case fatality rate (CFR). It is a better measure of the disease’s clinical significance than mortality. It was calculated by dividing the number of deaths associated with Aspergillus infection over the defined period (1997–2017) by the number of individuals diagnosed...

For self-harm, the most promising approaches relate to decreasing the case-fatality rate from suicide attempts by restricting access to lethal means; in the United States, a large share of suicides are due to firearms.55,56 While multiple strategies are available for dealing with these problems,...
[1, 2] SARS case fatality has varied across geographical areas with higher fatality found in the northern areas of China. The SARS case fatalities of Beijing and Tianjin, two cities in the northern part of China, were 7.66% and 8%, respectively; while the case fatality rate of Guangdong,...
Day 1 is the first day of the time period of interest (in our case, 16 Aug 2020) and day n is the last day (10 Oct 2020). zi was exponentiated and multiplied by the offset (totali) in order to transform it to the same scale as the response (Yi). Because of the exponentiation...
