About
This data offers deep insights into the specific health conditions and contributing causes associated with deaths involving COVID-19 across the United States. Spanning the years 2020 through 2023, the dataset allows for detailed exploration of mortality trends segmented by age group and jurisdiction. It is a vital resource for public health analysis and policy-making efforts focused on understanding the complex factors driving COVID-19 fatalities. The data reflects the health landscape up to late September 2023.
Columns
The dataset contains 13 primary fields:
- Start Date: The beginning date of the data collection period for the record.
- End Date: The concluding date of the data collection period for the record.
- Group: Categorisation used for aggregation, such as "By Total" or "By Month."
- Year: The specific year of the record, ranging from 2020 to 2023.
- Month: The specific month of the data record.
- State: The U.S. state or jurisdiction where the data was collected. Records labelled "United States" represent national-level figures.
- Condition Group: The broad category of health conditions observed, such as "Circulatory diseases" or "Respiratory diseases."
- Condition: The precise health condition mentioned in relation to the COVID-19 death (e.g., "Influenza and pneumonia").
- ICD10_codes: The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes linked to the specific health condition (e.g., J09-J18).
- Age Group: The defined age range for the individuals included in the data record (e.g., 0-24, 25-34). There are 10 unique age groupings.
- COVID-19 Deaths: The absolute number of deaths where COVID-19 was cited as a cause.
- Number of Mentions: The count of times the specific accompanying condition was recorded alongside COVID-19 deaths.
- Flag: Indicates special conditions, notably when data cells containing counts between 1 and 9 have been suppressed according to NCHS confidentiality standards.
Distribution
The dataset is approximately 100.65 MB and contains over 621,000 valid records across its key columns. Data status varies by year: figures for 2020 and 2021 are considered final data, while data for 2022 and 2023 is classified as provisional. This product is static and is no longer being updated; its expected update frequency is never.
Usage
The data is ideal for analysing co-morbidities and underlying causes present in COVID-19 mortality cases. It provides granular detail necessary for tracking epidemiological patterns, specifically how various health conditions correlate with COVID-19 deaths across different demographic and geographic boundaries. It can serve as a foundation for developing targeted public health interventions and informing policy decisions.
Coverage
The data covers deaths recorded in the United States from 2020 through to September 2023. Geographic segmentation is available by individual U.S. state and includes an aggregate national view. Demographic coverage is provided through specific breakdowns across 10 unique age groups. Note that due to privacy standards, counts between 1 and 9 are routinely suppressed in certain data entries.
