Place and causes of acute cardiovascular mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic

Jianhua Wu et al.

Summary: This study discusses the location and causes of acute cardiovascular death during the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis showed an increase in acute cardiovascular deaths, with a significant proportion occurring in the community not related to COVID-19. Delays in seeking medical help or undiagnosed COVID-19 may have contributed to these deaths.

Estimating the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality, life expectancy and lifespan inequality in England and Wales: a population-level analysis

Jose Manuel Aburto et al.

Summary: By analyzing data from England and Wales from week 10 to week 47 in 2020, it was found that COVID-19 led to over 57,000 excess deaths, with higher mortality rates in men. Life expectancy at birth decreased, and lifespan inequality also decreased during the same period.

Sex and age differences in COVID-19 mortality in Europe

Linda Juel Ahrenfeldt et al.

Summary: The study found that men had a higher relative risk of dying from COVID-19 compared to women in almost all age groups across ten European regions, but this sex difference decreased with age, with the smallest difference observed in the 80+ age group. Despite variations in data collection and time coverage, the overall pattern of sex differences in COVID-19 mortality in Europe was similar.

Impact of COVID-19 lockdown policy on homicide, suicide, and motor vehicle deaths in Peru

Renzo J. C. Calderon-Anyosa et al.

Summary: The impact of COVID-19 lockdown measures on violent and accidental deaths in Peru was investigated, revealing a significant decrease in all forms of deaths examined. Traffic accident-related deaths saw the largest reduction, while homicides and suicides showed similar declines by gender, with a higher increase rate in male homicides. This suggests that mobility restrictions had a natural impact on traffic accidents, but the patterns and changes in homicides and suicides warrant further study.

Years of life lost to COVID-19 in 81 countries

Hector Pifarre i Arolas et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant loss of years of life due to COVID-19 globally, especially in heavily affected countries. The majority of these lost years are from deaths under 75 years old, particularly those under 55, with men losing 45% more life years than women. These findings emphasize the need for policies that protect vulnerable demographics with the highest loss of life-years.

Excess mortality in the United States in the 21st century

Samuel H. Preston et al.

Summary: Since 2000, age-specific mortality rates in the United States have sharply deteriorated compared to Europe, resulting in 400,700 excess deaths and 13.0 million years of life lost in 2017. The excess deaths and years of life lost in the United States in 2017 represent a larger annual loss of life than that associated with the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020.

Tracking excess mortality across countries during the COVID-19 pandemic with the World Mortality Dataset

Ariel Karlinsky et al.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of using excess mortality as a more objective indicator of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and reveals the varying levels of excess mortality in different countries during the pandemic. The authors stress the need for open and rapid reporting of all-cause mortality data for effective pandemic monitoring.

The short-term mortality fluctuation data series, monitoring mortality shocks across time and space

Dmitri A. Jdanov et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted gaps in international and national statistical monitoring systems, making it challenging to obtain timely, accurate, and comparable data. Estimating weekly excess deaths is a more reliable method for quantifying mortality burden due to short-term risk factors compared to monitoring deaths with COVID-19 diagnosis. To address data challenges, a new resource on weekly mortality has been established, providing open-access harmonized data for quick assessment.
