    As of March 1, 2020, 79?968 patients in China and 7169 outside of China had tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).1 Among Chinese patients, 2873 deaths had occurred, equivalent to a mortality rate of 3·6% (95% CI 3·5–3·7), while 104 deaths from COVID-19 had been reported outside of China (1·5% [1·2–1·7]). However, these mortality rate estimates are based on the number of deaths relative to the number of confirmed cases of infection, which is not representative of the actual death rate; patients who die on any given day were infected much earlier, and thus the denominator of the mortality rate should be the total number of patients infected at the same time as those who died.

Show all authors Published:March 27, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S2213-2600(20)30152-1 With rates of hospitalisation and mortality from novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) increasing, there is understandable concern across the UK for medical professionals and the general public. We hope to highlight the challenges faced by children and health-care professionals involved in their care, and propose key strategies to address these challenges.

    • Early estimates of the indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and child mortality in low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling study Timothy Roberton, DrPH Emily D Carter, PhD Victoria B Chou, PhD Angela R Stegmuller, BS Bianca D Jackson, MSPH Yvonne Tam, MHS et al. Show all authors Open AccessPublished:May 12, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S2214-109X(20)30229-1 Summary Background While the COVID-19 pandemic will increase mortality due to the virus, it is also likely to increase mortality indirectly. In this study, we estimate the additional maternal and under-5 child deaths resulting from the potential disruption of health systems and decreased access to food. Methods We modelled three scenarios in which the coverage of essential maternal and child health interventions is reduced by 9·8–51·9% and the prevalence of wasting is increased by 10–50%. Although our scenarios are hypothetical, we sought to reflect real-world possibilities, given emerging reports of the supply-side and demand-side effects of the pandemic. We used the Lives Saved Tool to estimate the additional maternal and under-5 child deaths under each scenario, in 118 low-income and middle-income countries. We estimated additional deaths for a single month and extrapolated for 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.
