OBJECTIVE Given the importance of case fertility rate (CFR) and recovery rate (RR), we observed different countries during a COVID-19 ongoing epidemic using recent country-level data. METHODS data were revived from most accurate databases, including Worldometer, WHO, and Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) series provided from CDC, according to the user’s guide of data sources for patient registries. Then we calculated CFR and RR from various countries. RESULTS The comparison of CFR between different countries with total cases equal or more than 1000 were observed. In addition, all countries with less than 1000 cases were given in details. Current data shows Iraq with only 71 cases has the highest CFR as 9.86%, which strikingly are higher than overall CFR of 3.61%. Overall RR was 55.83%. CONCLUSIONS Taking detailed and accurate medical history, and scoring case fatality alongside recovery rate, may show the highest risk areas, to direct the efficient medical care ; thus, this will lead to develop point-of-care tools to help clinicians in stratifying patients based on possible r CLINICALTRIAL None
