Reduced mortality during the COVID-19 outbreak in Japan, 2020: a two-stage interrupted time-series design

Daisuke Onozuka et al.

Summary: The overall all-cause mortality in Japan during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 decreased compared to historical baseline, with reduced deaths observed for both sexes and all age groups except those aged. Further evaluation of cause-specific excess mortality is needed.

Quantifying impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic through life-expectancy losses: a population-level study of 29 countries

Jose Manuel Aburto et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the life tables of 29 countries in 2020, finding that life expectancy at birth declined in most countries from 2019 to 2020, mainly due to increased mortality above age 60 and official COVID-19 deaths. The COVID-19 pandemic triggered significant mortality increases in 2020 on a scale not seen since World War II in Western Europe or the breakup of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe.

Excess all-cause mortality and COVID-19-related mortality: a temporal analysis in 22 countries, from January until August 2020

Souzana Achilleos et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate overall and sex-specific excess all-cause mortality since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic until August 2020 among 22 countries. Some countries demonstrated higher all-cause mortality up to August 2020 compared to previous years, while others experienced a decrease. The observed variability in mortality changes may be explained by geographical location, seasonality, and the prompt application of high-stringency control measures.

Excess deaths reveal the true spatial, temporal and demographic impact of COVID-19 on mortality in Ecuador

Leticia Cuellar et al.

Summary: In early 2020, Ecuador experienced a high surge in per capita deaths. The study found a significant increase in excess deaths, especially in older age groups and Indigenous populations, with most of the excess deaths likely being undocumented COVID-19 deaths.

How many more? Under-reporting of the COVID-19 deaths in Brazil in 2020

Emil Kupek

Summary: This study evaluated the under-reporting of COVID-19 deaths in Brazil in 2020, revealing a 22.62% underestimation and the significant impact of COVID-19 on mortality in Brazil. Underestimation of COVID-19 mortality may be between 1:5 and 1:4, underscoring the importance of timely and accurate surveillance of death causes.

The COVID-19 Pandemic: Effects on Civil Registration of Births and Deaths and on Availability and Utility of Vital Events Data

Carla AbouZahr et al.

Summary: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on civil registration systems for births and deaths in various countries has shown significant disruptions and decreases in registration. Most countries have not established business continuity plans or strategies to handle the backlog when restrictions are lifted. Strengthening civil registration systems and vital statistics is crucial during health emergencies and as a core component of responding to COVID-19.

Out-of-Hospital COVID-19 Deaths: Consequences for Quality of Medical Care and Accuracy of Cause of Death Coding

Elizabeth B. Pathak et al.

Summary: The study found that children were most likely to die out of hospital or in the emergency department among COVID-19 deaths, while elderly adults were least likely. The proportions of deaths coded to symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions increased from 2019 to 2020 in all age and race/ethnicity groups. Additionally, the majority of young COVID-19 decedents were racial/ethnic minorities.

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.

Investigating regional excess mortality during 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in selected Latin American countries

Everton E. C. Lima et al.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in selected Latin American countries, using excess mortality data. The findings show a significant increase in mortality rates in multiple areas, especially in regions with poorer socioeconomic and sanitary conditions, resulting in a reduction in life expectancy by 2-10 years across these countries. Excess mortality is identified as a useful indicator to measure the effects of the pandemic in Latin American countries where there is a lack of reliable information on COVID-19 mortality.

Rapid mortality surveillance using a national population register to monitor excess deaths during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in South Africa

Rob E. Dorrington et al.

Summary: This paper explains how to monitor excess deaths during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic using a national population register, and proposes a method for estimating reporting completeness and excess mortality. It also emphasizes the need for real-time cause-of-death information to more accurately attribute excess deaths.
