Provides files to download data as it existed for this dataset on previous dates.

Statistics are most often revised for 1 of 2 reasons:

  1. For certain statistics initial estimates are released with the expectation that these may be revised and updated as further data becomes available.
  2. Revisions may also be made when methods or systems are changed.

These types of planned revisions should not be confused with errors in released statistics, which are genuine mistakes. Such mistakes occur rarely and, when they do happen, corrections are made in a timely manner, announced and clearly explained to users in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (Principle 2, Practice 7).

Correction See correction
A correction has been made to the values for relative age standardised mortality rates (rASMRs) for persons of all ages, used in the “Comparisons of all-cause mortality between European countries and regions” data tables, tab “rASMRs –NUTS”. This is due to an error when compiling data for this table: values were presented as proportions not percentages. In the tabs "ASMRs - Countries", "rASMRs - Countries", and "rcASMRs - Countries" data for Montenegro has been removed. This country was not included in the main analyses due to data being unavailable at time of download for the full time period used for comparisons between countries.

Correction See correction
A correction has been made to the relative age standardised mortality rates (rASMRs) for persons of all ages for France, used in the “Comparisons of all-cause mortality between European countries and regions” data tables, tab “rASMRs – Countries”. This is due to an error when compiling data for this table: data for another geography was inserted for France in error. The error affected only ‘all ages’ figures, not the figures by age, and only France as a whole. Subnational breakdowns are not affected. You can see the original content in the superseded version. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Important notes and usage information

Current edition of this dataset consists of the most recent analysis of comparisons of all-cause mortality between European countries and regions up to week ending 26 August 2022. Data in these tables go further than the related article Comparisons of all-cause mortality between European countries and regions: 28 December 2019 to week ending 1 July 2022, as some countries had figures available past this date; for transparency, these figures have been provided in this dataset. As detailed in our Comparing all-cause mortality between European countries and regions methodology article, there was a change to the underlying calculations for relative age-standardised mortality rates (rASMRs) and relative cumulative age-standardised mortality rates (rcASMRs) for this release.

Previous versions of this dataset, including figures using the previous methodology, can be found in Previous versions of this data.
