Cluster bombs, which strew small bombs over a large area to increase fatalities, are banned by many countries.
However, while in progress, these improvements tend to increase fatalities in a host of Catch-22 sequences.
Estimations from a mixed effects negative binomial regression suggest that the fraction of populations aged between 15 and 64 years, the size of the road network and seat belt laws significantly increase fatalities.
"It's a chronic condition with no cure, and currently, in around one third of cases, the currently available treatments do not work, cause serious side effects, and increase fatalities".
Since viruses with very high fatality rates, like Ebola, tend to burn themselves out by killing victims faster than those who are infected can pass it on, the increasing fatality rate — still unexplained — may be a silver lining.
The Government says "too many" studies have been published that highlight increased fatality rates over weekends, including a 29 per cent increase in cancer surgery deaths, a 20 per cent increase in stroke mortality and an 11 per cent rise in general surgery deaths.
The instances of drunk driving, speeding and driving without a safety belt all significantly increase during the night hours and each contributes directly to increased fatality rates.
The reasons for increased fatality risk among pedestrians with TBI is likely multi-faceted and future research may be able to shed light into these mechanisms.
We found that 'drifting snow', 'wind', and 'fog' were significantly associated with an increased fatality risk.
Antimicrobial resistance is a well-described predictor of increased fatality rate in sepsis [ 13].
