Currently, COVID-19 mortality risk is highly concentrated at older ages, particularly those aged 80+. Understanding a country's age demographics can help predict the burden of critical cases and aid in more precise planning of availability of hospital beds, staff and other resources. "Until more...
Although previous evidence suggests that the infection fatality rate from COVID-19 varies by age and sex, and that transmission intensity varies geographically within countries, no study has yet explored the age-sex-space distribution of excess mortality associated with the COVID pandemic. By ...
1. We used a model-based approach to predict deaths for 2020 by specific age- and sex groups, under the counterfactual scenario that COVID-19 had not occurred. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first international study of the COVID-19 regional impact on mortality. Results A ...
Variation in racial/ethnic disparities in COVID-19 mortality by age in the United States: a cross-sectional study. PLoS Med. 2020;17(10):e1003402. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.1003402 PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 50. Lundberg DJ, Wrigley-Field E, Cho A, et al. The-...
Only a few studies have reported the association between age and mortality in COVID-19 patients who require invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). We aimed to evaluate the effect of age on COVID-19-related mortality among patients undergoing IMV therapy.
Hispanic White population; (2) within racial and ethnic groups, age-adjusted COVID-19 mortality rates would be highest among those with the lowest educational attainment; and (3) racial and ethnic inequalities in COVID-19 mortality rates would remain when comparing within levels of educational ...
A greater share of reported COVID-19 deaths occur at younger ages in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared to high-income countries (HICs). Based on data from 26 countries, people age 70 and older constitute 37 percent of deaths attributed to COVID-19 in LMICs on average, ...

"The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a striking gender bias with increased mortality rates in men compared with women across the lifespan," said corresponding author Vaishali R. Moulton, MD, Ph.D., an assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology at BIDM...
Based on this, we estimate that the number of COVID-19 deaths in Italy is between 59,000−62,000 as of 9 September 2020, more than a factor of 1.5× higher than the official number. In the remainder of the paper, we will use this extrapolation to estimate the age-dependent and ...
