比如一夜情在20年的时候统计叫Weekly provisional figures on deaths registered where coronavirus (COVID-19) was mentioned on the death certificate in England and Wales

标准是

For deaths registered from 1st January 2020, cause of death is coded to the ICD-10 classification using MUSE 5.5 software. Previous years were coded to IRIS 4.2.3, further information about the change in software is available.

We report deaths 'due to' COVID-19 (where it was recorded as the underlying cause of death) and deaths 'involving' COVID-19 (where it was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, either as underlying cause or as a contributory factor).

Our definition of COVID-19 (regardless of whether it was the underlying cause or mentioned elsewhere on the death certificate) includes some cases where the certifying doctor suspected the death involved COVID-19 but was not certain. For example, a doctor may have clinically diagnosed COVID-19 based on symptoms, but this diagnosis may not have been confirmed because no test was available, or the test result was inconclusive.

Of the 73,477 deaths 'due to' COVID-19, 4,009 (5.5%) were classified as "suspected" COVID-19. Including all deaths involving COVID-19, "suspected" COVID-19 was recorded on 5.6% (4,589 deaths) of all deaths involving COVID-19 in England and Wales. This information is available in the main article of the December 2020 monthly deaths publication (See definition of COVID-19).

In order to provide detailed cause information, such as a breakdown between ICD-10 codes U07.1 and U07.2, or a breakdown of data showing which parts of the death certificate had COVID-19 recorded, we would need to create bespoke analysis. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information in order to respond to requests. We therefore consider this to be information not held.

Once death registrations are finalised in July 2021, further breakdowns of deaths by cause will be published on our website in the annual deaths registered series and further bespoke analysis will be available on request (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs).

2021年的报告标题没有变还是Weekly provisional figures on deaths registered where coronavirus (COVID-19) was mentioned on the death certificate in England and Wales

统计变化如下：

From week ending 26th February 2021 (week 8) new ICD-10 codes for COVID-19 issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO) have been implemented for deaths involving COVID-19. The new codes are U09.9 (Post-COVID condition, where the acute COVID had ended before the condition immediately causing death occurred) and U10.9 (Multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19 (also called Kawasaki-like syndrome), a specific, uncommon effect of COVID-19 in children). These are in addition to the existing codes of U07.1 (COVID-19, virus identified) and U07.2 (COVID-19, virus not identified, i.e. COVID-19 stated to be unconfirmed or suspected).
