The ratio of deaths within a designated population of living beings with a particular condition, over a certain period of time.
1Crude hospital case fatality rate is of the same magnitude as ebola.
2It can cause encephalitis and pneumonia, and has a high case fatality rate.
3A case fatality rate of 20 % was observed for the patients.
4Age-adjusted case fatality rate was equal in women and men.
5Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae infection is a serious problem worldwide and the case fatality rate remains high.
6Conclusions: Greater severity of illness contributes to the higher case fatality rate observed in sepsis-induced ALI.
7Three patients died ( case fatality rate 3%) and all of them had underlying conditions.
8However, arguments about the case fatality rate, the transmission parameters and presymptomatic transmission all miss the point.
9Discussion: Despite non-multiresistant MT strains, the case fatality rate among TE patients was high in our series.
10The case fatality rate for Lassa fever was 31%.
11For ruptured cases , neither the case fatality rate nor postoperative in-hospital stay were significantly related to hospital volume.
12The average case fatality rate is around 50% - and health-care workers have frequently been infected.
13Results: The overall case fatality rate was 33%.
14Conclusions: There was no statistical difference in the case fatality rate and limited transmission between FCs and LCs.
15Rabies is one of the most deadly infectious diseases, with a case fatality rate approaching 100%.
16Conclusions: The incidence of PJP in this cohort was very low, but the case fatality rate was high.
