Case Fatality Rate (CFR)

The CFR is a case fatality expressed over time. It is therefore a true rate, since time is included in the denominator. It can be expressed as number of deaths among cases per 100 or 1000 individual-years. Depending on the disease, it may also be expressed per individual-weeks or individual months. As a rate, it reflects the dynamic of the fatality over time, among cases.
