Years of life lost associated with leading causes of US death during the first 20 months of the COVID-19 pandemic medrxivpreprint harvardmed COVID19 coronavirus covid pandemic
By Bhavana KunkalikarJul 28 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers estimated the years of life lost during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in the United States.
About the study In the present study, researchers evaluated the years of life lost due to leading causes of mortality during the initial 20 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The team also collected the standard life expectancies recorded in 2019 as per age and gender from the National Vital Statistics System via period life tables that provided an estimate of the number of years a cohort of individuals who are currently of a certain age can expect to live if the patterns of mortality remain unchanged for the remainder of their lives. Additionally, estimates of standard life expectancy were also obtained.
Furthermore, YLL associated with COVID-19 exhibited distinctive variations with respect to YLL per death. The number of YLL per death due to COVID-19 increased by 27.7% from 2020 to 2021. Interestingly, none of the other causes of death varied by more than 2.3% for YLL per death.
