Mortality Risk Factors for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Outbreak, South Korea, 2015	2015-11-17		.txt	text/plain	1378	67	52	As of July 15, 2015, the South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare had reported 186 case-patients with Middle East respiratory syndrome in South Korea. For 159 case-patients with known outcomes and complete case histories, we found that older age and preexisting concurrent health conditions were risk factors for death. Univariate logistic regression models for each risk factor showed that older age and having a concurrent health condition were associated with death (both p<0.001); both variables remained significant after we adjusted for all 5 variables in a multivariate logistic regression model (Table) . Despite these limitations, we found that risk factors for death among patients with MERS in South Korea who had known outcomes (age and concurrent health conditions) were similar to those identified for MERS case-patients in Saudi Arabia (8) (9) (10) .	./cache/cord-327863-6cw9f7qu.txt	./txt/cord-327863-6cw9f7qu.txt
