COVID-19 Mortality within 28 Days of Diagnosis, UK Data

Leicester City Council provides data on the number of deaths where a COVID-19 diagnosis occurred within 28 days of death. The figures are based on a 7-day rolling sum of recorded deaths. Automatic updates to this dataset were discontinued on 3 July 2023.

Use Cases

• Track COVID-19 mortality trends based on the 7-day rolling sum metric.
• Analyze the relationship between diagnosis and death timing based on the 28-day window.
• Monitor the cessation of data updates for historical analysis completeness.

Strengths

• Data is provided by a municipal authority, Leicester City Council.
• The description specifies a clear metric: a 7-day rolling sum of deaths.
• A specific end date for automatic updates (3 July 2023) is documented.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Automatic updates were discontinued, so data is not current beyond July 2023.
