Excess mortality during COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh – evidence from a rural survey
Our study suggests high rural excess mortality during COVID-19 including cardiac disease, stroke and acute respiratory infection as the leading causes of deaths. We require targeted strategies to identify high-risk patients with comorbidity and social vulnerabilities that contribute to mortality to guide the preparedness strategy for future pandemics.
