To examine the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mortality, we estimated excess all-cause mortality in 24 countries for 2020 and 2021, overall stratified by sex age.
Abstract Background This study investigated cause-specific mortality rates in 12 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020 and 2021. Methods We collected weekly data from respiratory disease, pneumonia, cardiovascular disease (CVD) cancer national vital statistic databases. calculated excess for (excluding codes), CVD 2021 by comparing observed against expected based on historical (2015–2019), accounting seasonal trends. used multilevel regression models to investigate association between...
Abstract The criteria for species delimitation in birds have long been debated, and several recent studies proposed new methods such delimitation. On one side, there is a large consensus of investigators who believe that the only evidence can be used to delimit molecular phylogenetics, with increasing numbers markers gain better support, whereas on other, are adopting alternative approaches based largely phenotypic differences, including morphology communication signals. Yet, these little...
The COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed health systems, resulting in a surge excess deaths. This study clustered countries based on mortality to understand their response the and influence of various factors within each cluster. ecological is part MORtality (C-MOR) Consortium. Mortality data were gathered from 21 previously used calculate weekly all-cause mortality. Thirty exposure variables considered five categories as potentially associated with mortality: population factors, care resources,...
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of disease burden and mortality at European level in Cyprus. This research was conducted to map activities Cypriot institutions five NCDs, namely oncology, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, mental health respiratory conditions. For period 2002–2013, Cyprus assessed on its biomedical outputs compared rest Europe relative their GDP. The output NCDs obtained contrasted respective burdens. results from each showed amount cross-country...
Abstract National published COVID-19 mortality estimates do not fully encompass the extent of pandemic’s impact on mortality. To address this challenge, calculating excess all-cause at national level is important. Our focus was understanding total weekly for 2022, by analysing data across 2020-2022, from 21 countries participating in international consortium (C-MOR), which provided examination. Excess calculated comparing 2022 age-standardized rates per 100,000 population against a baseline...
West Nile Virus (WNV) 1 infections have increased over recent years to the extent that WNV has become one of most widespread arboviruses in world, with potential consequences for both human and animal health. While much is known about vectors transmit it from their primary hosts across Europe, little epidemiology disease Cyprus. Here, aim was investigate prevalence infection mosquito first time Republic Cyprus, using surveillance mosquitoes. Mosquitoes were collected 2019, when an outbreak...
