Learning for the next pandemic: when high level evidence is not readily available...

[摘要] Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents the most severe pandemic since the 1918 pandemic of Spanish flu. As of February 11th 2022, there have been 404,910,528 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 5,783,776 deaths reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) (1). Approximately 5% of hospitalised patients with COVID-19 have been classified as critical cases due to the presence of severe respiratory failure and/ or multiple organ dysfunction (2), for whom treatment is still supportive rather than definitive.
