Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Other limitations include that (i) we did not explore detailed natural history, e.g. dynamically changing symptoms over the course of infection, and underlying comorbidities, (ii) we ignored right-censored data, e.g. the time delay from illness onset to severe manifestations, for simplicity. The latter led us to underestimate the ascertainment rate. (iii) it is worth noting that the data of age dependent severity employed in our analysis is only based on the observed data in China. Considering the possibility of underreporting or biased age distribution, the nature of this age distribution may lead to underestimation. Despite multiple future tasks, we believe that the present study successfully demonstrated that the ascertainment rate can be partly adjusted by examining age-dependent number of cases including severe cases. The proposed adjustment should be practiced in other country settings and also for other diseases.
