World Mortality Dataset

This repository contains country-level data on all-cause mortality in 2015–2021 collected from various sources, see below.We are currently providing data for 89 countries and territories.We welcome any contributions.

World Mortality coverage

Preprint: Karlinsky & Kobak 2021, The World Mortality Dataset: Tracking excess mortality across countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.01.27.21250604

For the excess mortality analysis using this data see https://github.com/dkobak/excess-mortality.

For our sister-project of sub-national mortality data, see https://github.com/akarlinsky/world_mortality/tree/main/local_mortality

Notes:

  • Our aim is to provide data from 2015 onward. In some cases the coverage starts later, but we require at least full 2019 data.
  • Countries are only included if the data exist until at least June 2020.
  • We only collect weekly, monthly, or quarterly data.
  • The latest data points (weeks/months/quarters) for each country are preliminary and subject to (sometimes large) revisions.
  • We only provide all-cause mortality numbers, without splitting by age or gender.
  • We only provide country-level data, without splitting it by regions or individual cities.
  • The Short Term Mortality Fluctuations (STMF) dataset from the Human Mortality Database (HMD) is integrated into this dataset. See the STMF dataset for mortality by age and gender; here we only provide the total numbers.
  • The data for the European countries that are not in STMF are sourced from the EuroStat.
  • Some countries publish obviously incomplete weekly data for most recent weeks, which shows as large "dips" in the end of the time series. We omit these data points for the following countries: Denmark, Finland, South Korea, United States. Note that some other countries may also report partially incomplete data.
  • Weekly data mostly follow ISO8601 standard, when weeks are calendar weeks, Monday to Sunday, and the weeks on the year boundaries are assigned to the year in which they have more days (four or more). Most years have 52 weeks but some years, such as 2015 and 2020, have 53 weeks. Some countries follow other conventions, see e.g. STMF description.

World Mortality across time

Sources

Human Mortality Database, Short-Term Mortality Flucations

We collect the weekly STMF data for the following countries: Australia*, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland , Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom (England & Wales + Northern Ireland + Scotland), United States.

We do not use Taiwan data from STMF because the monthly data (see below) is more frequently updated.

United States data from 2017 onward are replaced with CDC 'predictions' that account for underreporting in recent weeks (see below).

For some European countries, STMF sometimes has more up-to-date (and backward revised) data than Eurostat, as it culls data from countries' NSOs. For each data point that exists in both datasets, we take the maximum between them as the final data.

* Australia's data (all years) is "Doctor Certified Deaths" rather than "All Registered Deaths". These constitute about 85%-90% of all deaths in Australia.

2020 June up to 2021: Brazilian Civil Registry (RC): https://transparencia.registrocivil.org.br/registrosIn Brazil, the RC is the most up to date source of all-cause mortality. However, it is downward biased compared to the official final figures from SIM due to delayed registration.In order to account for this, the monthly counts from the CR are corrected using the ratio between total deaths (up to May) in SIM 2020 (615,482) to total deaths in RC 2020 (557,767).

We thank Marcelo Oliveira and Otavio Ranzani for their help on this.

Ireland (weekly)

2015 to 2019: New York Times: https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/tree/master/excess-deathsBased on a study by Ireland's Health Information and Quality (HIQA) Authority2020: Based on the methodology of the HIQA study, we crawled RIP.IE with Gilad Gabiel's script to provide weekly mortality counts for 2020 onward.

Note: According to HIQA study, rip.ie usage is downward-biased in earlier years. To account for this, we have decided to only include data from 2018 onward. Additionally, comparing the estimates from our crawling and HIQA data for the same weeks, our estimates are higher at about 5%, since we do not post-process the data. In order to account for this, our rip.ie estimates are multiplied by 0.95.

Note: 2019 monthly death counts was smaller at 1020 deaths than total yearly mortality count (Shown in the January 2021 Monthly Bulletin).

South Africa (weekly)

South Africa Medical Research Council (SAMRC): https://www.samrc.ac.za/reports/report-weekly-deaths-south-africa

South African data is provided in an Epidemiological Week format, which run from Sunday to Saturday.

SAMRC does not publish weekly data for years before 2020. Instead, the 2018--2019 data were used by SAMRC to forecast expected weekly mortality using the Excel Holt-Winters time series forecasting method in Excel function. We denote this forecast as year = 0 in the data.

For additional details, refer to SAMRC (2021): METHODOLOGICAL NOTE: PREDICTED NUMBERS OF DEATHS BY EPI-WEEK FOR SOUTH AFRICA IN 2020 AND 2021, available at: https://www.samrc.ac.za/sites/default/files/files/2021-01-24/Methodological%20Note%20on%20Predicted%20Weekly%20Deaths%2020_Jan_2021.pdf

Sweden (weekly)

Statistics Sweden - Preliminary Statistics on Deaths (2015 onward, daily): https://scb.se/en/About-us/news-and-press-releases/follow-the-preliminary-statistics-on-deaths/

Note: Sweden has a significant number of deaths which occurred in an "unknown" date (and thus week) in all years. However, 95% these have a known month of death. In order to account for this, we have adjusted the daily number of deaths in Sweden by the difference between monthly deaths from daily deaths and total monthly deaths, and the residual with unknown month, distributed throughout the year. For example, the sum of daily deaths in April 2020 is 10376. The total monthly deaths in April 2020 is 10555, which yields a daily mean difference of 5.97 added to each day in April 2020. The 254 additional deaths in 2020 with unknown month, were distributed uniformly across months and then daily within each month. Thus, each day in April 2020 is increased by 6.67 deaths.

Weekly deaths in Sweden have been rounded to one significant digit to emphasize they were adjusted.

Taiwan (monthly)

Taiwan also has weekly data from STMF, but it is less updated, so we opted to keep the monthly data for now.

Tajikistan (quarterly)

Tajikistan Agency on Statistics: 2015 to 2019: Demographic Yearbook of the Republic of Tajikistan 2021 (paper copy): https://www.stat.tj/en/news/publications/demographic-yearbook-of-the-republic-of-tajikistan

Monthly counts were aggregated to quarterly counts.

2020 Q1 to Q3: UNData MBS (as crude death rates): https://unstats.un.org/unsd/mbs/app/DataView.aspx?tid=3&cid=762&yearfrom=2020&yearto=2021&p=A Crude death rates were transformed to mortality counts by using the UNDATA Mid-Year Population estimate for Tajikistan 2020 which is 9,392,000.

2020Q4 was derived as the difference between total yearly deaths in 2020 (41743) and sum of 2020Q1-2020Q3.

We wish to thank the reporters from Eurasianet for providing us this information.
