Bat fatality was highest during late summer and fall when bats begin autumn migration [3] and migratory species comprise the majority of fatalities at all wind farms studied to date [4], [5], [6].
Cancer case fatality was higher in individuals with diabetes compared with those without diabetes (Table 3).
Compared with Stockholm, all regions had similar case fatality except for Umeå, where the case fatality was higher (Table 5).
Case fatality was highest during the third trimester, except in Queirel's study, which included few cases (18 ).
Additionally, case fatality was higher in those presenting in December, and in those presenting in UK regions where malaria is less often seen.
Day 30 case fatality was higher in obese bacteraemic patients than in nonobese patients (25.9% vs. 3.4%, p = 0.002, RR 9.8; 95% CI 2.3 41.3).
Although fatality was highest for pneumococcal meningitis at 35% (range, 9%–67%), it is encouraging that the overall case fatality in this study did not rise after 2010 despite a higher proportion of confirmed cases due to Spn.
Case fatality was highest in 2004 and 2005 (13.7%) and remained close to 10% in subsequent years apart from 2009, the year of highest incidence, when fatality fell to 5.9%.
It is interesting that case fatality was highest in the first 2 years of this study, possibly due to subsequent improvements in case management and/or to changes in pathogen distribution.
When stratified by HIV status, case fatality was higher in HIV positive men not on ART (first episode 14.0%; retreatment episode 26.2%) and those on ART (12.0%; 22.0%) than men of negative or unknown HIV status (2.6%; 3.6%).
