Episode Synopsis

Armstrong et al. conducted an initial systematic review and meta‐analysis of 24 observational studies published by 31 May 2020, which included 10,150 patients, finding that mortality was 41.6%, with evidence that this was decreasing as the pandemic progressed.
This new updated meta-analysis seems to show that any fall in mortality rate between June and September appears to have flattened or plateaued.
For this podcast, Mike Charlesworth speaks with authors Richard Armstrong and Tim Cook, as well as Danny Bryden, Rupert Pearse, Mandeep-Kaur Phull and Zudin Puthucheary.
