Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our analyses presented some limitations that must be taken into account in the interpretation of results: (1) classification of positive cases of COVID-19 was based on the positivity of a PCR for nasopharyngeal samples, i.e., we depended on the performance of the test and sample quality; (2) records were retrieved from a local database with some missing information, mainly for SARS-CoV-2 genomic data; and (3) symptoms of very low frequency, social behavior, or genetic factors of the host were not considered in this study. Finally, due to vaccination started massively in January 2021 in Costa Rica (although the first doses were applied at the end of December 2020), we consider that this study represents a special work to give the panorama of COVID-19 in pre-vaccination time (2020). In future work, we hope to assess the vaccination status and how this event has impacted the clinical profiles of COVID-19 patients during 2021.
