Description
Summary:The ability to detect and appropriately treat candidaemia differs across geography2—yet the mortality estimate presented used only the mean case fatality rate (CFR) and a global ratio of treated to untreated cases. [...]the author makes several anti-conservative assumptions that risk overestimation of burden. [...]we are concerned that many of the results would not be reproducible if another group was tasked with the same methodological approach, because many of the key steps rely on expert opinion from a single expert.
