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
