Article Synopsis
- Ukraine's unique socio-economic and political landscape, along with its historical diversity, provides valuable insights into mortality trends in Eastern Europe between 2006 and 2019.
- The analysis highlights a significant decline in mortality differences across regions, particularly noting that cardiovascular disease is a major factor behind these disparities, especially among older females.
- Despite progress, mortality from external causes has decreased, while issues like suicide, HIV, and lung cancer remain concentrated in specific areas, warranting further investigation into the underlying factors.
Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic is characterized by successive waves that each developed differently over time and through space. We aim to provide an in-depth analysis of the evolution of COVID-19 mortality during 2020 and 2021 in a selection of countries.
Methods: We focus on five European countries and the United States.
National authorities publish COVID-19 death counts, which are extensively re-circulated and compared; but data are generally poorly sourced and documented. Academics and stakeholders need tools to assess data quality and to track data-related discrepancies for comparability over time or across countries. "The Demography of COVID-19 Deaths" database aims at bridging this gap.
