Correlation analysis of total number of covid-19 deaths per million and parameters of infectious disease burden and median age. Univariable analysis was performed using spearman rank correlation test and non-parametric regression by kernel functions. The latter was also used for multivariable analysis taking into account all parameters simultaneously (n = 178).
