In response to the recent novel coronavirus outbreak originating in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, observations concerning novel coronavirus mortality are of urgent public health importance. The present work presents the first review of the fatal novel coronavirus cases in China. Clinical data of fatal cases published by the Chinese Government were studied. As of 2 February 2020, the clinical data of 46 fatal cases were identified. The case fatality rate was significantly higher in Hubei province than the rest of China. While 67% of all deceased patients were male, gender was unlikely to be associated with mortality. Diabetes was likely to be associated with mortality. There is, however, not yet sufficient evidence to support the association between hypertension and mortality as similar prevalence of hypertension was also observed in the Hubei population.
针对源自中国湖北省武汉市的新型冠状病毒爆发，有关新型冠状病毒死亡率的观察结果对公共卫生具有重要意义。本研究首次对中国的新型冠状病毒致死病例进行了综述。研究了中国政府公布的致死病例的临床数据。截至 2020 年 2 月 2 日，共确定了 46 例致死病例。湖北省的病死率明显高于中国其他地区。虽然所有死亡患者中有 67%为男性，但性别似乎与死亡率无关。糖尿病可能与死亡率有关。但是，尚无足够证据支持高血压与死亡率之间的关联，因为在湖北人群中也观察到了类似的高血压患病率。
