English term or phrase: CFR (case fatality rate)
Definition from Kaiser Family Foundation:
An estimate of the risk of mortality from a contagious disease. The CFR is calculated by dividing the number of deaths caused by a disease by the number of cases of that disease in a given time period. The CFR is time and location-dependent, and many different factors can influence the CFR, such as speed of diagnosis of cases, health system capacity, age and other demographic characteristics, among others. For COVID-19, estimates of the CFR have varied; in China, CFR estimates by province have ranged from <1% to 5.8%.

Example sentence(s):
  • When data were stratified by age group, the case-fatality rate in Italy and China appear very similar for age groups 0 to 69 years. JAMA Network
  • This crude CFR is high: for comparison, the CFR for seasonal influenza is 0.1%. Virology blog
  • The data indicated that the CFR was elevated among COVID-19 patients with preexisting comorbid conditions, specifically, cardiovascular disease (CFR, 10.5%), diabetes (7.3%), chronic respiratory disease (6.3%), hypertension (6%), and cancer (5.6%). The Hospitalist

letalitāte


Definition from spkc.gov.lv:
Letalitāte ir noteiktā laika sprīdī mirušo personu īpatsvars (%), rēķinot pret kādu precīzi definējamu slimnieku grupu (ar konkrētu slimību, pēc operācijas, no visiem slimniekiem u.c.)

Example sentence(s):
  • Ebolas vīrusslimība (agrāk – Ebolas hemorāģiskais drudzis) ir reti sastopama īpaši bīstama infekcijas slimība, kurai raksturīga ļoti smaga klīniskā norise un augsta letalitāte. - spkc.gov.lv  
  • Pirms sonoskopijas un DT ēras akūta pankreatīta komplikāciju diagnostikā nekrotisku formu gadījumos letalitāte sasniedza 50-70%. - Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte  
  • Lai gan jaunu cilvēku letalitāte ir zema, ir skaidrs – jebkādi minējumi, ka Covid-19 līdzinās gripai, ir kļūdaini: pat 20–29 gadu vecuma grupā ar SARS-CoV-2 inficēto grupā mirstība ir 33 reizes lielāka nekā sezonālajai gripai. - Latviesi.com
