Temporal Stability and Geographic Variation in Cumulative Case Fatality Rates and Average Doubling Times of SARS Epidemics

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: We analyze temporal stability and geographic trends in cumulative case fatality rates and average doubling times of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). In part, we account for correlations between case fatality rates and doubling times through differences in control measures. We discuss factors that may alter future estimates of case fatality rates. We also discuss reasons for heterogeneity in doubling times among countries and the implications for the control of SARS in different countries and parameterization of epidemic models.
