The objective of this study is to compare the epidemiological variations in
COVID-19 patients reported in studies from inside and outside of China. We
selected COVID-19 observational studies from eight countries, including, China,
Italy, Australia, Canada, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and the USA, comprising a
total of 13 studies and performed a meta-analysis for age, gender, fatality rate,
and clinical symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath, and diarrhea. The
meta-analysis shows that there are differences in symptoms and other
characteristics reported by the patients of COVID-19 inside and outside China.
Patients in China have a higher proportion of fever, cough, and shortness of
breath as compared to patients outside of China. However, we found the opposite
results for the gastrointestinal symptoms such as Diarrhea. Patients outside of
China have a significantly higher proportion of Diarrhea as compared to patients
within China. We also observed gender disparity among our studies, with the male
population being more susceptible than the female population. Moreover, the
analysis suggests that the fatality rate in China is relatively lower as compared
to the fatality rate in other countries. These findings also suggest that the
clinical symptoms of COVID-19 should not be generalized to fever, shortness of
breath, and cough only but other symptoms such as diarrhea are also prevalent in
patients with COVID-19.
