COVID-19 Death Contributing Conditions by U.S. State and Age Group

Provisional data from 2020-2023 details health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in deaths involving COVID-19. The dataset is organized by age group and jurisdiction of occurrence, with 2022-2023 data being provisional and 2020-2021 data based on final records. It was produced by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

Use Cases

• Analyze the co-occurrence of specific conditions like Cardiac Arrest or Diabetes with COVID-19 deaths across different Age Groups.
• Compare the prevalence of contributing causes such as Hypertensive Disease or Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease by U.S. state jurisdiction.
• Investigate temporal trends in conditions like Influenza or Alzheimer Disease mentioned alongside COVID-19 mortality from 2020 to 2023.

Strengths

• Covers a multi-year time range from 2020 through 2023, providing a longitudinal view.
• Includes detailed cause-of-death data across multiple health condition categories like Cardiac Arrhythmia and Cerebrovascular Disease.
• Data is segmented by both Age Group and state jurisdiction, enabling granular demographic and geographic analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset is no longer updated as of September 27, 2023, limiting its use for current analysis.
• Data for 2022 and 2023 is provisional and subject to revision, which may affect accuracy.
• The specific number of records (rows) and data features (columns) is unknown, making it difficult to assess scale and structure.
