Early mortality estimates can now be found on CDC WONDER

December 15, 2021| Provisional Mortality Data Now Available Through CDC WONDER

 

CDC Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research(CDC WONDER)—an easy-to-use website that provides many public health data sets to researchers and the public—has added more data. You can now access preliminary mortality estimates from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) through the CDC WONDER platform!

 

Making provisional death data available on CDC WONDER leverages a powerful tool for researchers and policymakers to analyze early mortality data. These near-real-time data can provide actionable information sooner than the final mortality data, released approximately 11 months after the end of the data year. 

 

Adding provisional mortality data to CDC WONDER has significant benefits:

 

• greater provisional mortality data detail, including more demographic characteristics and more causes of death, in addition to county-level and national statistics

• expanded functionality, including customized visualizations, dashboards, and ad-hoc data queries

• monthly updates for near real-time surveillance

• increased opportunities for rapid analysis to identify emerging issues 

 

Preliminary mortality estimates are based on the current flow of death certificate data to the National Vital Statistics System. These estimates address critical public health information needs and advance public health surveillance. The NCHS Division of Vital Statistics (DVS) will continue to release provisional mortality data reports on the National Vital Statistics System website, including COVID-19 and drug overdose surveillance data.
