Chinese and British Hospitalised Patients with COVID-19—a Comparative Case Series Analysis	2020-07-18		.txt	text/plain	2275	112	51	The most striking difference is the significantly older age of the British population (72% of the British ≥ 66 years compared to only 3% of the Chinese patients, difference of 69%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 68.3% to 69.7%, respectively) and the associated significant premorbid conditions (85% of patients vs 32%, difference of 53%, 95% CI 52 to 54%, respectively). In this case series, we aimed to describe a comparative analysis between a Chinese and a British cohort to explore the differences of COVID-19 patients between the two countries. Later on, a report for Italy, published in April 2020, showed that mortality rate has risen to 12%, most cases that died were > 70 years old, a male to female ratio of 3:1 with at least 1 comorbidity and cardiovascular disease was the highest risk condition. This suggests that older age and comorbidities were more common in European cohorts affected by COVID-19 than in China, and they have a significant impact on mortality difference between the two continents.	./cache/cord-295500-j84v1k1o.txt	./txt/cord-295500-j84v1k1o.txt
