Resumen
PALACIO-MEJIA, Lina Sofía y GRUPO INTERINSTITUCIONAL PARA LA ESTIMACION DEL EXCESO DE MORTALIDAD et al. All-cause excess mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic in Mexico. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.2, pp.211-224. Epub 27-Feb-2023. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/12225.
Objective:
To estimate excess mortality from all causes in Mexico in 2020.
Materials and methods:
We constructed an endemic channel with deaths (2015-2018) establishing the epidemic threshold at the 90th percentile, comparing with death certificates counts to estimate excess mortality.
Results:
At week 53, there were 326 612 excess deaths (45.1%), with a maximum in week 28 (98.0%) and a minimum at week 41 (35.2%); after week 42, the increasing trend remained for the rest of the year. It was proportionally higher in men, mainly aged 45-64 years, however, in those aged 60 and over, the highest number of deaths occurred.
Conclusion:
In Mexico, excess mortality has been prolonged compared to other countries, with high interstate variability. This could be explained by socioeconomic conditions and the high prevalence of comorbidities in the Mexican population.
