EXCESS MORTALITY ROSE SHARPLY TO 19% IN DECEMBER 2022

© Velimir Zeland/Shutterstock.com

Excess mortality in the EU in December 2022 soared to +19% of the average number
of deaths for the same period in 2016-2019, the highest recorded value in 2022.
This is a sharp increase from November, when excess mortality was at +8%. 

In comparison, the excess mortality rate was +30% in December 2020 and +24% in
December 2021.

This information comes from data on excess mortality published by Eurostat
today, based on a weekly deaths data collection. The article presents a handful
of findings from the more detailed Statistics Explained articles on excess
mortality and weekly deaths.
  



Source dataset: demo_mexrt

 

In December 2022, excess mortality continued to vary across the EU members.
Romania and Bulgaria (both -6%) recorded values lower than the national monthly
average for 2016-19, while Hungary (+3%), Luxembourg, Spain and Malta (all +10%)
had excess mortality rates less than half the EU average. 

Conversely, the highest rate was recorded in Germany (+37%). Other countries
with rates over +20% were Austria (+27%), Slovenia (+26 %), Ireland and France
(both +25%), Czechia, the Netherlands and Estonia (all +23 %), Denmark (+22%),
and Finland and Lithuania (both +21%).

The EU registered earlier major peaks in excess deaths in April 2020 (+25%),
November 2020 (+40%), April 2021 (+21%) and November 2021 (+27%). July 2022 also
showed significantly higher than the baseline mortality, possibly due to the
heatwaves that affected parts of Europe during the reference period. 
 
How did the situation evolve in your country?

Although excess mortality was observed during most of the past two years across
Europe, the peaks and intensity of outbreaks varied greatly between countries.
For further analysis, you can read the Statistics Explained article on excess
mortality and use the interactive tool by selecting the country you would like
to analyse.

Methodological notes:

 * Italy and Sweden: data not available. 
 * Excess mortality refers to the number of deaths from all causes measured
   during a crisis, above what could be observed in ‘normal’ conditions. The
   excess mortality indicator draws attention to the magnitude of the health
   crisis by providing a comprehensive comparison of additional deaths amongst
   European countries and allows for further analysis of the causes.
 * Please note that while a substantial increase in excess mortality largely
   coincides with the COVID-19 outbreak, this indicator does not discriminate
   among the causes of death and does not identify differences between sex or
   age.
 * Eurostat has published first data on healthcare provision and causes of death
   covering the reference year 2020 and providing an insight in health outcomes
   related to COVID-19 (online code: HLTH_CD_ARO).
