seroprevalence data. Methods I searched PubMed and preprint servers for COVID-19 …

An important unknown during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has
been the infection fatality rate (IFR). This differs from the case fatality rate (CFR) as an …

Background Spain is one of the European countries most affected by the COVID-19
pandemic. Serological surveys are a valuable tool to assess the extent of the epidemic …

Introduction The infection fatality rate (IFR) of COVID-19 has been carefully measured and
analysed in high-income countries, whereas there has been no systematic analysis of age …

Determine age-specific infection fatality rates for COVID-19 to inform public health policies
and communications that help protect vulnerable age groups. Studies of COVID-19 …

The infection fatality risk (IFR) is the average number of deaths per infection by a pathogen
and is key to characterising the severity of infection across the population and for specific …

Background As of 16 May 2020, more than 4.5 million cases and more than 300,000 deaths

Importance The degree to which children and adolescents are infected by and transmit
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is unclear. The role of …

When testing for a rare disease, prevalence estimates can be highly sensitive to uncertainty
in the specificity and sensitivity of the test. Bayesian inference is a natural way to propagate …

Background Social distancing and stringent hygiene seem to be effective in reducing the
number of transmitted virus particles, and therefore the infectivity, of coronavirus disease …
