Abstract:
We analyzed data for 170 patients in South Korea who had laboratory-confirmed
infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. A longer incubation
period was associated with a reduction in the risk for death (adjusted odds
ratio/1-day increase in incubation period 0.83, 95% credibility
interval 0.68–1.03).
