We analyzed 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. Factors that may alter future estimates of case-fatality rates, reasons for heterogeneity in doubling times among countries, and implications for the control of SARS are discussed.
我们分析了严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)累积病死率和平均倍增时间的时间稳定性及地理趋势。部分原因在于,我们通过控制措施的差异来解释病死率与倍增时间之间的相关性。文中讨论了可能改变未来病死率估计的因素、各国倍增时间存在异质性的原因以及对SARS防控工作的影响。
