Abstract

Mortality statistics is underlay for public health measures and action and consequently it is one of the major indicator in measures of Covid-19 impact on population. This study aim to explore excess mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic in Serbia. Excess mortality compares expected and observed number of deaths during the given period. Analysis in this paper was based on excess deaths and excess mortality rate. Data was downloaded from the national COVID-19 database and obtained from a relevant source from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia. In order to provide better understanding of excess death, the excess mortality rate was calculated for the period January 2015-June 2022. For the period January 2015-February 2020, 38 months were observed without excess deaths, while in months with excess deaths, almost in all months excess mortality rate was below 12%. Since March 2020, the excess mortality rate has increased significantly, with highest values in December 2020 (91.4%), October (84.3) and November (67.8) 2021.
超额死亡率和Covid-19死亡:来自塞尔维亚的初步数据以及与欧洲经验的比较
死亡率统计数据是公共卫生措施和行动的基础,因此是衡量Covid-19对人口影响的主要指标之一。本研究旨在探讨塞尔维亚Covid-19大流行期间的超额死亡率。超额死亡率将特定期间的预期死亡人数与观察到的死亡人数进行比较。本文的分析是基于超额死亡和超额死亡率。数据从国家COVID-19数据库下载,并从塞尔维亚共和国统计局的相关来源获得。为了更好地了解超额死亡率,计算了2015年1月至2022年6月期间的超额死亡率。在2015年1月至2020年2月期间,观察到38个月没有出现额外死亡,而在出现额外死亡的月份,几乎所有月份的超额死亡率都低于12%。自2020年3月以来,超额死亡率显著上升,最高的是2020年12月(91.4%)、2021年10月(84.3%)和11月(67.8)。
