Data from: Association between severity of MERS-CoV infection and incubation period

We analyzed data for 170 patients in South Korea who had laboratory-confirmed infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. A longer incubation period was associated with a reduction in the risk for death (adjusted odds ratio/1-day increase in incubation period 0.83, 95% credibility interval 0.68–1.03).

本研究对韩国170例经实验室确诊感染中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus）的患者数据进行了分析。研究显示，较长的潜伏期与死亡风险降低存在关联，校正比值比为0.83（潜伏期每延长1天），95%可信区间为0.68~1.03。
