The demography of COVID-19 deaths database, a gateway to well-documented international data

Arianna Caporali et al.

Summary: The Demography of COVID-19 Deaths database aims to bridge the gap in poorly sourced and documented COVID-19 death counts. It provides detailed death counts and associated documentation for academics and stakeholders. The database allows for comparison of data quality and discrepancies across time and countries.

County-level estimates of excess mortality associated with COVID-19 in the United States

Calvin A. Ackley et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the excess deaths and mortality associated with COVID-19 in the U.S. using a generalized linear model. The results showed that a significant proportion of excess deaths were not directly assigned to COVID-19. The study also found regional variations in the proportion of excess deaths assigned to COVID-19, with some regions reporting higher excess mortality in nonmetro areas. It highlights the importance of estimating excess mortality to allocate resources and promote positive behaviors during the pandemic.

Beyond deaths per capita: comparative COVID-19 mortality indicators

Patrick Heuveline et al.

Summary: This article discusses various measures based on the number of COVID-19 deaths for comparisons over time and across populations. Results show different outcomes after standardization, with certain regions in Italy, Spain, and the USA having the highest unstandardized rates, while regions in Mexico and Peru have the highest standardized rates. Indirect standardization proves to be a valid alternative for adjusting international comparisons, showing substantial reductions in life expectancies for several populations in 2020.

Global impact of COVID-19 pandemic on road traffic collisions

Yasin J. Yasin et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decrease in road traffic collisions and fatalities globally, with factors such as reduced traffic volume, increased speeding, and decreased law enforcement playing a significant role in this trend. Efforts to improve road safety during pandemics should focus on addressing these key factors.

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.

Effect of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020 on life expectancy across populations in the USA and other high income countries: simulations of provisional mortality data

Steven H. Woolf et al.

Summary: The United States saw a significant decrease in life expectancy between 2018 and 2020, especially among Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black populations, widening the gap between the US and other high income nations. The disproportionate impact on racial and ethnic minority groups reflects longstanding policy choices and systemic racism.

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.
