The pandemic’s true death toll: millions more than official counts.

We can be confident there have been far more than 5 million global Covid deaths – “Estimating ‘excess’ fatalities, a more robust analysis method, puts the pandemic’s grim toll between 10m and 19m people”.

Global Covid-19 deaths surpass five million.

Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on life expectancy and premature mortality in 2020 – this time series analysis showed there were more than 28 million excess years of life lost in 2020 in 31 countries.

Under-reporting of deaths limits our understanding of true burden of covid-19.

Study shows COVID-19 has caused the biggest decrease in life expectancy since World War II.

Just how do deaths due to COVID-19 stack up?

M-A: In comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, targeted hypothermia is not associated with improved survival or better neurological outcomes vs. targeted normothermia.

RCT: In comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, there was no difference in mortality and neurologic outcomes with mild (target temperature of 34 °C) vs. moderate therapeutic hypothermia (target temperature of 31 °C).

M-A: Targeted temperature management following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest – “Routine use of moderate or deep hypothermia in comatose survivors of OHCA may potentially be associated with more harm than benefit”.

RCT: In patients with coma after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, targeted hypothermia did not improve outcomes.
