Case Fatality Rate (CFR)
The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is the total number of deaths as a percentage of the total number of confirmed cases. Also called Case Fatality Ratio as per WHO definition. Examples: seasonal influenza < 0.1%, SARS (2003) 9.6%-11%.
A relative high CFR, say above 10%, could be caused by undetected or unreported cases of COVID-19 due to lack of testing.
China’s COVID-19 CFR of around 5.43% (on 27 September 2020) could be considered as a benchmark against which other countries could be measured, Especially those countries that had sufficient resources and timely information to prepare themselves for the first and next waves of the pandemic.
