Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The major limitations of the present study were selection bias and low number of patients. We enrolled an ideal, homogeneous cluster of relatively healthy individuals who could remain on board a cruise ship for a relatively long term. Therefore, the patient population was not an exact representation of normal clinical settings. Triage on the Diamond Princess cruise ship before emergency transportation has also introduced a selection bias with an atypically large number of patients. The Self-Defense Forces Central Hospital in Tokyo is close to the Yokohama port where the cruise ship was docked, and the symptomatic cases were referred to the study hospital. However, the critical cases were preferentially referred to neighboring hospitals in Yokohama. Likewise, several clinical signs and symptoms, which have occurred and disappeared before the patients were referred to our hospital, may be included or excluded from this study. In addition, laboratory tests and CT images were obtained once in majority of the patients, and the present study was not able to determine changes in lymphocyte count and radiological findings over the course of observation. Therefore, multicenter, multi-national cohort studies should be conducted to determine predictive markers for symptom onset and risk factors for diseases progression.
