The analysis of causes of death using the US CDC Wonder database is aimed at expanding our work into an additional dimension. The cause of death data provides a level of granularity that allows different studies to be performed, that will provide insights into the Covid-19 pandemic trends in deaths in the US. These insights will allow futher questions to be asked.
US Neoplasm deaths, ages 15-44
Go to study
Analysis of trends in neoplasm death rates, for ages 15 to 44 in the US. Our analysis points towards a strong signal in neoplasm UC death rates, starting in 2021 and rising further in 2022. Males are shown to be more impacted than females.
US Neoplasm deaths, all ages and detailed analysis of 75-84 age group.
Go to study
Analysis of trends in neoplasm death rates, for all ages in the US. We also provide a detailed analysis of trends in neoplsm death rates for older individuals aged 75-84. For older individuals our analysis points towards a strong signal in neoplasm UC death rates, starting in 2021 and rising further in 2022. Males are shown to be more impacted than females.
Our analysis also shows that all individuals aged 15 and older were impacted with excess death rates from neoplasms, rising in 2021 and 2022, with the exception of individuals aged 55-64.
COVID-19 over-reporting as Underlying Cause of Death.
Go to study
This analysis provides an estimate of the degree of over-reporting of COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death in the US over the pandemic years. We calculate the over-reporting adjustment factor by comparing the ratios of reporting of COVID-19 as multiple cause of death to underlying cause of death, with the equivalent ratio for Influenza and Pneumonia (ICD-10 codes J09-J18).
US - Trends in Death Rates from Neurological Diseases, Ages 15-44
Go to study
Analysis of trends in death rates from neurological diseases, for all ages in the US. We also provide a detailed analysis of trends in neurological death rates for younger individuals aged 15-44. For these individuals our analysis points towards a strong signal in UC death rates from neurological diseases, starting in 2020 and rising further in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
US - Pandemic Acute Renal Failure Deaths
Go to study
Preliminary analysis of trends in death rates from acute renal failure, for all ages in the US. We also provide a detailed analysis of trends in acute renal failure death rates for younger individuals aged 35-44.
US - Trends in Death Rates from Musculoskeletal Diseases, Ages 75-84
Go to study
Analysis of trends in death rates from musculoskeletal diseases, for all ages in the US. We also provide a detailed analysis of trends in musculoskeletal death rates for older individuals aged 75-84. For these individuals our analysis points towards a strong signal in UC death rates from musculoskeletal diseases, starting in 2020 and rising further in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Analysis of trends in death rates from liver diseases, for all ages in the US. We also provide a detailed analysis of trends in liver disease death rates for younger individuals (aged 35-44), for older individuals (aged 75-84).
