Clinical Infectious DiseasesAbstract
In an observational cohort study including 89 Ebola patients, predictor factors of death were analyzed. The crude mortality rate was 43.8%. Myalgia (OR; 4.04; P=0.02), hemorrhage (OR=3.52; P=0.02), and difficulty breathing (OR= 5.75; P=0.01) were independently associated with death.Publisher
