Standardization and Age-Distribution of COVID-19: Implications for Variability in Case Fatality and Outbreak Identification

2020-04-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Epidemiological data from the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated variability in attack rates by age, and country-to-country variability in case fatality ratio (CFR). <h4>Objective</h4> To use direct and indirect standardization for insights into the impact of age-specific under-reporting on between-country variability in CFR, and apparent size of COVID-19 epidemics. <h4>Design</h4> Post-hoc sec...
