Total excess mortality peaked during a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Stockholm, but 25% of these deaths were not recognized as COVID-19 related nor occurred in hospitals. Estimate of total excess mortality may give a more comprehensive picture of the total disease burden during a COVID-19 outbreak, and may facilitate managing future outbreaks.
在斯德哥尔摩发生的 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫情期间,总超额死亡率达到峰值,但其中 25%的死亡病例未被认定与 COVID-19 相关,也并非发生在医院。估计总超额死亡率可更全面地了解 COVID-19 疫情期间的总疾病负担情况,并有助于管理未来的疫情。
