Global consortium publishes findings on all-cause mortality during COVID-19 pandemic in 22 countries
A global consortium representing 27 institutions has published findings comparing mortality in the previous five years to deaths between January and August 2020 in the first wave of the pandemic. Their results show that some countries experienced excess all-cause mortality, while other nations had minimal or even decreased excess mortality. Data from the UK shows substantial excess mortality in the research period.
Led by the University of Nicosia (UNIC) in Cyprus, the research by the Covid-19 Mortality (C-MOR) Consortium has been published in the
International Journal of Epidemiology. The consortium consists of partners in 22 countries across the globe, including the UK, USA, Brazil, Australia and multiple European countries. The analysis of UK data was led by researchers from St George s, University of London.
