Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Given lockdowns, with important limitations on healthcare especially for chronic conditions, it may be that mortality from these other causes will be higher in this pandemic year. These data also highlight the very small percentages of deaths related to COVID-19 relative to population size, representing less than 0.2% in all groups under the age of 80. This mortality mainly occurred in the months of March, April and May and has largely been brought under control. We cannot forecast what future resurgences and waves of the pandemic will bring (hopefully both the incidence and mortality rates will continue to diminish) but we can see the population impact in relation to mortality so far has been modest except in those over 80 years of age. In the immediate future, the relative proportions of deaths from COVID-19 compared to other causes in these European countries are likely to decline as control measures, while being relaxed, are likely to be applied partially and intermittently for some years. Mortality related to COVID-19 is known to be higher in males than in females and higher in older age groups and the mechanisms for these differential effects have been postulated12,13. Other important factors have also been recognised to lead to poorer outcomes following COVID-19 infection, including co-morbidity14 and ethnicity, with data suggesting that ethnic minority groups are at increased risk of death from COVID-1915. Though these have not been analysed in this study, ensuring a ...
