Predicting the Prevalence of COVID-19 and its Mortality Rate in Iran Using Lyapunov Exponent
Background: COVID-19 was first reported in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and spread rapidly throughout the world including Iran. Objective The purpose of this paper is to predict the prevalence of coronavirus and the number of confirmed cases and deaths in Iran based on the theory of chaos and measuring the Lyapunov exponent. Methods: In this analytical study, the number of confirmed ca...
متن کاملOn case-fatality rate: review and hypothesis.
The relationship between log cumulative number of patients (X) and that of deaths (Y) in an epidemic follows the equation logY = klogX - klogN(0), where k is a constant determining the slope and N(0) is the value of X when Y = 1. Diseases with k = 1 are Ebola hemorrhagic fever, avian influenza H5N1, cholera, and hand, foot, and mouth disease; those with k > 1 are the influenza H1N1 2009 pand...
متن کاملEstimating Algorithms for Prediction and Spread of a Factor as a Pandemic: A Case Study of Global COVID-19 Prevalence
Background: This paper presents open-source computer simulation programs developed for simulating, tracking, and estimating the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: The programs consisted of two separate parts: one set of programs built in Simulink with a block diagram display, and another one coded in MATLAB as scripts. The mathematical model used in this package was the SIR, SEIR, and SEIRD models re...
متن کاملCase fatality rate for Ebola virus disease in west Africa.
The case fatality rate (CFR) for the 2014 Ebola outbreak in west Africa has been widely reported to be much lower than for most previous outbreaks. However, this low rate is not necessarily a feature of the infection itself. Rather, it is likely to be the result of a failure to account for delays between disease onset and fi nal outcome. The low reported CFR values were generated from a so-call...
متن کاملIncidence, mortality, and case-fatality rate of stroke in northern Israel.
We studied the incidence and mortality of stroke in northern Israel to determine possible reasons for the differences previously found in mortality from this condition between the sex and ethnic groups in Israel as a whole. We identified 1,149 cases of stroke during 1984. While the age-standardized incidence was higher in men, the case-fatality rate was twice as high in women. After controlling...
