Cause of death in fatal cases associated with positive COVID-19 PCR tests

چکیده
The response to the COVID-19 pandemic is heavily influenced by reported fatalities from virus and, implication, criteria used determine those fatalities. Given complications, such as presence of comorbidities and limitations in testing, World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommend counting both confirmed suspected deaths While easily implementable, this method does little indicate degrees certainty for a death, thus concerns have arisen that may overcount number COIVD-19 In response, we developed implemented scoring system likelihood contributed patient death. Three reviewers independently assessed records 47 patients who reportedly died COVID-19. Greatest consensus was observed at ends spectrum, with twelve having complete among reviewers. Intraclass correlation three 0.52 (95% CI, 0.25-0.72). Middle scores had greatest variability, possibly due plausible alternative diagnoses, suggesting potential variability death certification need reports certainty. Although rules can guide toward greater about cause absence an objective disease, determination paitents positive PCR tests SARS-CoV-2 also significant comorbid conditions will remain subjective.

Since the elderly constitute a large proportion of Covid-19 patients, the present study was performed to evaluate the severity of the disease in the hospitalized elderly due to Covid-19 and the delay in hospitalization and deat...
متن کاملconstruction of vector fields with positive lyapunov exponents
in this thesis our aim is to construct vector field in r3 for which the corresponding one-dimensional maps have certain discontinuities. two kinds of vector fields are considered, the first the lorenz vector field, and the second originally introced here. the latter have chaotic behavior and motivate a class of one-parameter families of maps which have positive lyapunov exponents for an open in...
