Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Glob... by Naghavi, M, Ong, KL, Aali, A, Almidani, O, Bandyopadhyay, S, Basnyat, B, Maude, R, Dolecek, C, Lacey, BWH

“…These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mortality rates and life expectancy allow comparisons of the consequences of causes of death globally and over time, providing a nuanced understanding of the effect of these causes on global populations. …”
