Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in Israel to create a daily mortality curve over 20 years, considering factors like influenza illness and climate, and to estimate excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to March 2021 based on age groups.
- During the pandemic period, there were 51,361 reported deaths, which was 12% higher than expected, with 6,135 deaths attributed directly to COVID-19.
- Analysis showed a varied excess mortality pattern across age groups, with older individuals seeing a higher percentage of deaths linked to COVID-19, while younger groups experienced lower than expected mortality, possibly due to the effects of lockdown measures.
