Abstract

Objective: To describe the case fatality rate of SARS in Beijing.

Methods: Data of SARS cases notified from Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention (BCDC) and supplemented by other channels were collected. The data were analyzed by rate calculation.

Results: The case fatality rate of SARS in Beijing was 7.66%, and had an ascending trend while the age of cases was getting older, and a descending trend while the epidemic development. The case fatality rate in Beijing was lower than that in other main epidemic countries or regions.

Conclusions: The risk of death increases with the increment of age of SARS patients. Beijing is successful in controlling and treating SARS.
