European all-cause excess and influenza-attributable mortality in the 2017/18 s...
Nielsen, Jens; Vestergaard, Lasse; Richter, L.; Schmid, D.; Bustos, N.; Asikainen, T.; Trebbien, R.; Denissov, G.; Innos, K.; Virtanen, M.J.Objectives: Weekly monitoring of European all-cause excess mortality, the EuroMOMO network, observed high excess mortality during the influenza B/Yamagata dominated 2017/18 winter season, especially among elderly. We describe all-cause excess and influenza-attributable mortality during the season 2017/18 in Europe. Methods: Based on weekly reporting of mortality from 24 European countries or sub-national region...
Excess mortality among the elderly in european countries, December 2014 to Febr...
Mølbak, K.; Espenhain, L.; Nielsen, J.; Tersago, K.; Bossuyt, N.; Denissov, G.; Baburin, A.; Virtanen, M.; Fouillet, A.; Sideroglou, T.Since December 2014 and up to February 2015, the weekly number of excess deaths from all-causes among individuals ≥ 65 years of age in 14 European countries have been significantly higher than in the four previous winter seasons. The rise in unspecified excess mortality coincides with increased proportion of influenza detection in the European influenza surveillance schemes with a main predominance of influenza...
Excess mortality among the elderly in 12 European countries, February and March...
Mazick, A.; Gergonne, B.; Nielsen, J.; Wuillaume, F.; Virtanen, M.J.; Fouillet, A.; Uphoff, H.; Sideroglou, T.; Paldy, A.; Oza, A.; Nunes, BaltazarIn February and March 2012, excess deaths among the elderly have been observed in 12 European countries that carry out weekly monitoring of all-cause mortality. These preliminary data indicate that the impact of influenza in Europe differs from the recent pandemic and post-pandemic seasons. The current excess mortality among the elderly may be related to the return of influenza A(H3N2) virus, potentially with a...
Pooling European all-cause mortality: methodology and findings for the seasons ...
Nielsen, J.; Mazick, A.; Andrews, N.; Detsis, M.; Fenech, T.M.; Flores, V.M.; Foulliet, A.; Gergonne, B.; Green, H.K.; Junker, C.; Nunes, BaltazarSeveral European countries have timely all-cause mortality monitoring. However, small changes in mortality may not give rise to signals at the national level. Pooling data across countries may overcome this, particularly if changes in mortality occur simultaneously. Additionally, pooling may increase the power of monitoring populations with small numbers of expected deaths, e.g. younger age groups or fertile wo...
