#CDC 2020 DEATH TOTALS REGISTRATION#
Data are deduplicated daily so that 1 record reported from the multiple data sources is retained for each decedent.ĬOSMOSS COVID-19 deaths are defined as any death occurring within 60 days of a date on which a positive specimen was taken for COVID-19, or any death for which COVID-19 is listed on the death registration (codes U0.71 or U0.72 from the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification) ( 2). The data are then matched to Hospital Episode Statistics to identify ethnicity and to area-level data to categorize relative socioeconomic deprivation based on Indices for Multiple Deprivation (IMD) ( 3). Data from each source were combined daily into a single dataset, the COVID-19 Specific Mortality Surveillance System (COSMOSS) ( 1).ĬOSMOSS data are matched using a unique patient identifier (National Health Service number) to death registrations from the Office for National Statistics ( 2) to ascertain setting and cause of death. Public Health England (PHE) receives daily reports of the date of death, the date the specimen is taken for COVID-19 testing, and laboratory results for adults >18 years of age from 3 sources: hospital trusts using the COVID-19 Patient Notification System local PHE Health Protection Teams (for nonhospital settings) and the National Health Service Demographic Batch Service, which matches of all laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases against registered deaths records.
