English term or phrase: CFR (case fatality rate)
Definition from Kaiser Family Foundation:
An estimate of the risk of mortality from a contagious disease. The CFR is calculated by dividing the number of deaths caused by a disease by the number of cases of that disease in a given time period. The CFR is time and location-dependent, and many different factors can influence the CFR, such as speed of diagnosis of cases, health system capacity, age and other demographic characteristics, among others. For COVID-19, estimates of the CFR have varied; in China, CFR estimates by province have ranged from <1% to 5.8%.

Example sentence(s):
  • When data were stratified by age group, the case-fatality rate in Italy and China appear very similar for age groups 0 to 69 years. JAMA Network
  • This crude CFR is high: for comparison, the CFR for seasonal influenza is 0.1%. Virology blog
  • The data indicated that the CFR was elevated among COVID-19 patients with preexisting comorbid conditions, specifically, cardiovascular disease (CFR, 10.5%), diabetes (7.3%), chronic respiratory disease (6.3%), hypertension (6%), and cancer (5.6%). The Hospitalist

letalitat


Definition from Termcat:
Proporció d'animals afectats per una malaltia que moren amb relació al total d'animals que la pateixen.

Example sentence(s):
  • Espanya és el tercer país fora de la Xina amb més casos confirmats, després d'Itàlia i l'Iran. "La suma dels casos detectats a Europa ja arriba gairebé al nivell de la Xina, i també crida l'atenció la taxa de letalitat (el nombre de defuncions sobre el nombre de positius), que és més elevada a Europa: mentre que la mitjana mundial és de 2,5 defuncions per cada 100 infectats, a Europa és de 7 i a Espanya d'entre 3 i 4. Diari Ara, 18 març 2020 - Diari Ara  
  • La letalitat del coronavirus a Espanya se situa en el 5% dels casos confirmats i avui dia ascendeix a 1.326 morts, encara que Sanitat insisteix que aquest percentatge, «que pot semblar molt alt», no és real, perquè no té en compte tots els contagis per COVID-19. diari Més 21/03/2020 - Diari Més  
  • Una de les coses que més preocupa és la taxa de letalitat del virus… És clar, saber quantes persones moren entre els que han contret la malaltia dóna una idea de la seva gravetat. Però aquesta és una de les coses més difícils d’establir. Es tracta d’un quocient entre un numerador (nombre de defuncions ocasionades per aquest virus) i un denominador (nombre de casos infectats per aquest virus), i aquestes dades canvien cada dia. Pot anar cap a una taxa de letalitat més gran si en aquest quocient el numerador (morts) augmenta amb els dies. Però també pot anar cap a una gravetat menor, si el què augmenta més és el denominador (casos que no acaben en morts). El Diari de la Sanitat, 5 febrer 2020 - El Diari de la Sanitat
