Factors influencing COVID-19 case burden and fatality rates findings from secondary data analysis of major urban agglomerations in India
Abstract
As the pandemic spread, countries in different continents were overwhelmed by COVID-19 cases and deaths, which were more than the carrying capacity of their health system. The COVID-19 death defined by WHO is death resulting from a clinically compatible illness in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID disease (e.g. trauma). In this regard, the case fatality rate (CFR) is an important indicator not only of disease severity but also of the Strength of the health infrastructure capacity of a system a measure of proportion of all individuals diagnosed with a disease who will die from that disease.
