| Core Tip |
The study evaluates the inter-population differences in the susceptibility to acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 or COVID-19 between China and North America. Fever, cough, fatigue and dyspnea were the most common clinical symptoms of COVID-19 in both study regions. Hypertension, diabetes and cancer were the most prevalent comorbidities in COVID-19 cases from China whereas obesity, hypertension and diabetes were the most prevalent in North America. Prevalence of comorbidities in COVID-19 cases increased with age but was at younger ages in cases from China compared to those from North America. Inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein were 4.5-fold higher in the North American cases than in cases from China. The differences in COVID-19 profile between China and North America reflects the differences in environmental-, host- and healthcare-related factors between the two regions. |
