Assessing Tuberculosis Case Fatality Ratio: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND Recently, the tuberculosis (TB) Task Force Impact Measurement acknowledged the need to review the assumptions underlying the TB mortality estimates published annually by the World Health Organization (WHO). TB mortality is indirectly measured by multiplying estimated TB incidence with estimated case fatality ratio (CFR). We conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the TB case fatality r...
متن کاملCase-fatality of COPD exacerbations: a meta-analysis and statistical modeling approach Short title: Case-fatality of COPD exacerbations
Objective of the study was to estimate the case-fatality of a severe exacerbation from longterm survival data presented in the literature. A literature search identified studies reporting at least 1.5 year survival after a severe COPD exacerbation resulting in hospitalization. Each studys survival curve was divided into a critical and a stable period. Mortality during the stable period was the...
متن کاملMeasles deaths in Nepal: estimating the national case-fatality ratio.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the case-fatality ratio (CFR) for measles in Nepal, determine the role of risk factors, such as political instability, for measles mortality, and compare the use of a nationally representative sample of outbreaks versus routine surveillance or a localized study to establish the national CFR (nCFR). METHODS This was a retrospective study of measles cases and deaths in Nep...
متن کاملMammalian-Transmissible H5N1 Virus: Containment Level and Case Fatality Ratio
The life sciences, and the field of microbiology in particular, are in the midst of an unprecedented debate regarding the risks posed by the publication of two studies that report the generation of mammalian-transmissible H5N1 virus in the laboratory. The controversy was precipitated when the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) advised the U.S. government that the best cours...
متن کاملCase fatality of COPD exacerbations: a meta-analysis and statistical modelling approach.
The aim of our study was to estimate the case fatality of a severe exacerbation from long-term survival data presented in the literature. A literature search identified studies reporting ≥1.5 yr survival after a severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation resulting in hospitalisation. The survival curve of each study was divided into a critical and a stable period. Mortalit...
