COVID and Mortality in Europe – Excess mortality is driven by some countries, primarily seen in the age group of 65 years and above

Pooled estimates from the EuroMOMO network show excess all-cause mortality, overall, for the participating countries; however, this pooled excess mortality is driven by a particularly high excess mortality in some countries, primarily seen in the age group of 65 years and above.

Data from 24 participating countries or regions were included in this week’s pooled analysis of all-cause mortality in Europe.

Pooled analyses are adjusted for variation between the included countries and for differences in the local delay in reporting.
