A systematic review and meta-analysis of regional risk factors for critical outcomes of COVID-19 during early phase of the pandemic
Abstract The mortality rates of COVID-19 vary across the globe. While some risk factors for poor prognosis of the disease are known, regional differences are suspected. We reviewed the risk factors for critical outcomes of COVID-19 according to the location of the infected patients, from various lit...
