lethality

How is Lethality Calculated?

The lethality or case fatality rate is typically expressed as a percentage and is calculated using the formula:
CFR (%) = (Number of deaths from the disease / Number of confirmed cases of the disease) × 100
For instance, if a disease has 1,000 confirmed cases and 50 deaths, the CFR would be 5%.
