Current models of untreated tuberculosis that assume a total duration of 2 years until self-cure or death underestimate the duration of disease by about one year, but their case fatality estimates of 70% for smear-positive and 20% for culture-positive smear-negative tuberculosis appear to be satisfactory.
Although we have case-fatality estimates for malaria patients at both hospitals based on patient records, meaningful comparisons cannot be made because of the small sample size of records for LGH, which might significantly skew these outcomes.
Case fatality ratio estimates for the 2009 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic have differed by one to two orders of magnitude between countries [ 33- 40].
Fatality counts over which there are discrepancies can be used as a simple measure of data uncertainty, providing insight into the extent of these misreporting issues; for each fatal incident, the average of each of the fatality counts is calculated and the percentage departure from this average evaluated for each source's fatality estimate.
Number of fatalities estimated to be 42.
The percent change in parameter estimates for fatality and major injury collisions show a difference ranging from −131 % to 214%% (average = 13%%) between occupant-based (as the base case) and vehicle-based and −9 % to 310 % (average = 62%%) between occupant-based and collision-based data.
Tafari Makonnen (the future Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia) was one of the first Ethiopians who contracted influenza but survived, although many of his subjects did not; estimates for the fatalities in the capital city, Addis Ababa, range from 5,000 to 10,000, or higher.
Sjollema et al. (2014) argue that offshore wind farms might even result in similar fatality rates as estimated for onshore facilities.
The QBM parameter estimates for disease probability, case fatality, disease cost and disease utility parameter estimates were based on the best available data.
There are no reliable estimates for either incidence or case fatality rates for nonmelanotic skin cancers applicable to Bangladesh.
Hospitalization and case-fatality rates were estimated for a pandemic of average severity (2 ).
