1/ Estimating the infection fatality risk (IFR) of #SARSCoV2 is hard.
Our estimates from Spain's #ENECOVID (just published):
Men: 1.1% to 1.4%
Women: 0.58% to 0.77%
After age 80
Men: 12% to 16%
Women: 4.6% to 6.5%
Why is the #IFR hard to estimate?

2/ The IFR in a population is the ratio of
number of deaths from SARS-CoV-2 infection (numerator)
and
number of individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 (denominator)
during a prespecified period.
Both numerator and denominator are hard to quantify.

Both numerator and denominator are hard to quantify.
3/ Why is the denominator hard to quantify?
The number of infected with #SARSCoV2 is not the number of confirmed #COVID19 cases.
Because many infected individuals never have symptoms or have minor symptoms and are never diagnosed.

No quiero dejar de traer al hilo este ensayo con plasma de convaleciente que me llega a través de @gorka_orive
El ensayo tiene algunas limitaciones pero la evidencia que aporta no debería soslayarse. No son buenas noticias

🛑The effect of corticosteroids on patients with Covid19: a SR /MA
➡️Corticost. could lead to ⬆️ mortality, LOS, rate of bacterial infection and hypokalemia. It should be used with caution in covid19; not recommended for patients with mild conditions
