Opioid Crisis Is a Major Contributor to Maternal Mortality
Blog: Penn LDI
The epidemic of opioid use and overdose has a little-known impact on another national health crisis—U.S. maternal mortality, which is the worst of any high-income country. A remedy for these two issues is the subject of a new study by LDI Associate Fellows Xi Wang and Douglas Strane and Senior Fellows Zachary Meisel and Meredith […]

Covid-19 Mortality Shock: Demographic and Economic Losses in Moldova
In: Comparative Southeast European studies: COMPSEES, Band 72, Heft 1, S. 135-148
ISSN: 2701-8202
Abstract
This contribution discusses the problem of Covid-19 demographic and economic losses in Moldova. Although the pandemic is now no longer in the headlines, it is essential to understand how severe it was in Southeastern Europe. To illustrate this, the present study uses the example of the Republic of Moldova as a country with relatively high excess mortality. The Covid-19 mortality pattern in Moldova appears typical for the Eastern European and post-Soviet countries, with a decline in life expectancy for 2020–2021 and a more substantial decline for women. One of the main explanations for this pattern is the failure of the vaccination campaign, partly due to the population's lack of trust in the healthcare system. The National Transfer Accounts approach is suggested to estimate economic losses. As a reference country for comparing the pandemic losses in Moldova, the present study uses Serbia, which was also strongly affected by the pandemic.
COVID-19 in Brazil: A Look at Gender in Mortality in 2020 and 2021
In: Sociedade & natureza: revista do Departamento de Geografia da Universidade de Uberlândia
ISSN: 1982-4513
COVID-19 is portrayed as a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is extremely contagious and mainly affects the respiratory system. The pandemic has impacted the lives of men and women disproportionately, from the risk of exposure and biological susceptibility to infection to the social and economic impacts. In this sense, this research aims to analyze the relationship between gender and mortality from COVID-19 in the Brazilian Federative Units. This is an applied, exploratory and qualitative-quantitative study. Mortality rates by gender and Federation Unit were calculated based on data obtained from the Civil Registry - Transparency Portal for the years 2020 and 2021. The results show disparities in the number of deaths between men and women in various age groups. In addition, mortality rates among men were considerably higher compared to women, especially in 2021. This discrepancy was notable in men over 60, particularly in the North and Northeast regions. In addition, Roraima stood out with the highest mortality rates for both genders in the two years analyzed. These findings highlight the importance of policies and strategies that are sensitive to gender and the needs of vulnerable groups, in order to mitigate impacts during pandemic periods. Furthermore, approaches that consider gender disparities can contribute significantly to the effectiveness of public health measures and the general well-being of the population.
Decomposition of the Change in Child Mortality by Income Groups in India, 2005–2021
In: Journal of Asian and African studies: JAAS
ISSN: 1745-2538
This paper analyses how change in child mortality in different income sub-groups has contributed to change in child mortality in India during 2005–2021. The poorest and poor populations have primarily contributed to the decrease in child mortality while the contribution of the richest population has been negative. The contribution of the change in child mortality in different income sub-groups has been different in different states. In many states, it has been negative in the richest population. The contribution of the change is also sensitive to the measure of child mortality. The paper calls for reinvigorating India's healthcare system.

Mind the gap! The role of health policy capacity and vaccination acceptance in European Covid‐19 mortality differences
In: European policy analysis: EPA
ISSN: 2380-6567
AbstractTwo years of the Covid‐19 pandemic caused significantly different death tolls in European countries. Nine of the 30 countries with the highest accumulated fatalities belong to Central and Eastern Europe, although the solidarity of the European Union (EU) provided vaccines for all member states. Using correlation and cluster analysis, this paper identifies the demographic, social, and political factors which can explain the differences. As generally accepted in the literature, the death toll is measured by the number of excess deaths. The examination separates the prevaccination and vaccination periods. While the impact of other factors is also present, vaccination coverage has a salient explanatory role in the excess deaths of the second period. The experiences of the Covid‐19 pandemic simultaneously highlight the importance and sociopolitical constraints of health policy at the European level. The analysis confirms that complementary competences between the European and national levels are adequate for the EU health policy.
