The Demography of COVID-19 Deaths. A gateway to well-documented international data

Résumé

Since the start of the pandemic, “The Demography of COVID-19 Deaths” database (dc-covid.site.ined.fr/en) aims at providing COVID-19 related death counts along with well-documented metadata. The targeted audience is the research community and beyond (e.g., policy-makers, journalists). As of mid-May 2021, the database contains daily cumulative death counts attributable to COVID-19 reported by 19 countries in Europe and beyond, and updated weekly. Data are broken down by sex and age and, when possible, by place and date of occurrence of the death. Data documentation includes detailed descriptions of the sources and points out issues of quality and coverage of the data. Through this information, it is possible to assess data inconsistencies hampering comparability over time and/or across countries. In particular, the database webpages point out seven data-related issues to take into account for accurate cross-country comparisons of the pandemic. Compared to other databases on the same topic, the strength of “The Demography of COVID-19 Deaths” database is to provide high-quality data and metadata through a rigorous process of data collection. The poster describes the approach and content of the database with the purpose of promoting its usage.
