Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This study has some limitations that should be considered. First, it is a retrospective study that was performed in a limited hospital setting and included a relatively small sample size with disproportion in the different study groups. A large multi-center prospective observational study would be better to authenticate our findings. Another limitation is that all data included in this study were from the official records of the hospital; meanwhile, some patients have not been hospitalized for treatment because of the lack of awareness of disease severity, as well as the shortage of heath care facilities. A larger study that includes out-patients isolated at home in addition to hospitalized in-patients, would offer a more representative study population.
