Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our findings have several limitations. First, response rates were low, especially during India’s lockdown. However, much of the non-response was because CPHS randomly sampled only 50% of households during the lockdown. We employ non-response weights to adjust non-response. Moreover, non-responding households in one round may report deaths from that round in subsequent rounds; we estimate excess deaths using that data in the Supplement. Second, CPHS may not be as representative as official excess-death numbers 6. We estimate a higher baseline death rate in 2019 than Global Burden of Disease 4. However, official all-cause mortality is only available for 10 states (out of 28) and the two sources give comparable answers.
