This kind of approach. 29 countries. The methods are too technical for meStatGuy2000 said:Admittedly mortality statistics is not my area of expertise. That being said, I am aware that determining cause of death is typically based on the primary medical condition that can be linked to the mortality cases. The tricky issue is when a particular patient with a serious co-morbid condition (e.g. cancer) contracts COVID-19 and then subsequently dies. It is possible that cause of death could be listed as both cancer and COVID-19.
Are there adjustments made to account for extra deaths? I'm not entirely certain about this.
NZ does well though, I understood that much!
