| Background COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, the capital city of the province of Hubei in China. Due to the presentation of multiple symptoms at the same time, it is clinically important to understand the probability of dying from COVID-19 vs. the probability of dying from other causes. Methods Using data collected in Hubei that identified by age those who died of COVID-19 or its sequelae among the infected, we constructed a life table showing the conditional probability of dying at age x from COVID-19 and its sequela among those infected. Following the relative survival perspective, we also computed corresponding data for China that matched the format of the life table we constructed from the Hubei study. We then formed ratios of the 10-year conditional portability of dying at age x from COVID-19 for the Hubei COVID-19 victims to the ten-year conditional probability of dying at age x from all non-COVID-19 causes for those not infected by COVID-19 in China as a whole. Findings At every age, the conditional probability of dying from COVID-19 among those infected in Hubei is higher than the conditional probability of dying from all non-COVID-19 causes for China as a whole. Following a general age-related mortality pattern, the conditional probability of dying from COVID-19 from age 20 onward increases monotonically for those who are infected. Relative to the probability of dying in China from all other causes for those not infected, however, it declines monotonically from age 20 to age 70. Interpretation At younger ages the relative conditional probability of dying from CVOD-19 among the infected is substantially higher than it is for those infected who dying of all other causes and while staying higher at all ages, it declines monotonically with age. The monotonic decline in the ratio from age 20 to age 70 is a result of the age-related increase in the probability of dying from one or more of a number of competing causes, which, in the case at hand is manifested in the fact that non-COVID-19 deaths in China among the uninfected were generally increasing at a faster age-related rate than were the COVID-19 deaths to the infected in Hubei. | |
