Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our study has a number of limitations. First, the dataset does not include all clinical variables related to the evolution of COVID-19, and data were collected manually, although the data were checked by two people to minimize error. Nonetheless, human error and missing information should be taken into consideration while analysing and interpreting the data. Second, our data include information on deaths from laboratory-confirmed cases and do not include other patients who could not be tested. This may lead to underestimation of our findings (of the benefit of oxygen over non-invasive ventilation) and limit their generalizability. Despite these limitations, our study contributes to an understanding of the risk factors for death from COVID-19 in Somalia. Risk factors for death from COVID-19 have not been studied or published from sub-Saharan countries before.
