冠状病毒病（COVID-19）在短时间内迅速蔓延到全球几乎所有国家，无论其大洲、人口规模、经济状况和医疗体系如何，已成为世界大流行病。尽管病例数在大多数国家呈指数增长，但在病死率方面存在一定差异。截至2020年4月24日，全球新冠肺炎病死率约为7.0%，死亡病例193671例，确诊病例2761121例。尽管就确诊病例而言，美利坚合众国、西班牙、意大利、法国和德国是受影响最严重的国家；在病死率方面，法国、意大利和西班牙名列前茅。因此，通过这一小型综述，作者试图简要介绍可能导致全球不同国家病死率不同的可能假设（五个D）。
In a short span, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become the world pandemic by rapidly spreading almost to all the countries around the globe, irrespective of the continent, population size, economic status and healthcare system. Despite the number of cases increasing exponentially in most of the countries, there exist certain disparities in terms of case-fatality rates. As of April 24, 2020, the case-fatality rate of COVID-19 is about 7.0%, with 193,671 deaths and 2,761,121 confirmed cases around the world. Although the United States of America (USA), Spain, Italy, France, and Germany are the top-most affected counties in terms of confirmed cases; France, Italy and Spain are leading the list in terms of case-fatality rates. Therefore, through this mini-review, authors sought to brief on possible assumptions (five D's) that might contribute to the varying case-fatality rates among different countries across the globe.
