New York State Statewide COVID-19 Fatalities by Age Group (Archived)

<b>Note:</b> Data elements were retired from HERDS on 10/6/23 and this dataset was archived.

This dataset includes the cumulative number and percent of healthcare facility-reported fatalities for patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease by reporting date and age group. This dataset does not include fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that did not occur at a hospital, nursing home, or adult care facility. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users with information about healthcare facility fatalities among patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease.

The information in this dataset is also updated daily on the NYS COVID-19 Tracker at https://www.ny.gov/covid-19tracker.

The data source for this dataset is the daily COVID-19 survey through the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Health Electronic Response Data System (HERDS). Hospitals, nursing homes, and adult care facilities are required to complete this survey daily. The information from the survey is used for statewide surveillance, planning, resource allocation, and emergency response activities. Hospitals began reporting for the HERDS COVID-19 survey in March 2020, while Nursing Homes and Adult Care Facilities began reporting in April 2020. It is important to note that fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that occurred prior to the first publication dates are also included.

The fatality numbers in this dataset are calculated by assigning age groups to each patient based on the patient age, then summing the patient fatalities within each age group, as of each reporting date. The statewide total fatality numbers are calculated by summing the number of fatalities across all age groups, by reporting date. The fatality percentages are calculated by dividing the number of fatalities in each age group by the statewide total number of fatalities, by reporting date. The fatality numbers represent the cumulative number of fatalities that have been reported as of each reporting date.

<b>注意：</b>本数据集中的数据元素已于2023年10月6日从HERDS中退役，并已归档。

本数据集包含了按报告日期和年龄组分类的健康保健机构报告的COVID-19疾病实验室确诊病例的累计死亡人数和百分比。本数据集不包括在医院、养老院或成人护理机构外发生的与COVID-19疾病相关的死亡案例。发布本数据集的主要目的是向用户提供有关实验室确诊的COVID-19疾病患者中健康保健机构死亡情况的信息。

本数据集中的信息亦每日在纽约州COVID-19追踪器上更新，链接为：https://www.ny.gov/covid-19tracker。

本数据集的数据来源为纽约州卫生部门（NYSDOH）健康电子响应数据系统（HERDS）的每日COVID-19调查。医院、养老院和成人护理机构被要求每日完成此调查。调查信息用于全州范围内的监测、规划、资源分配和应急响应活动。医院自2020年3月开始报告HERDS COVID-19调查，而养老院和成人护理设施则自2020年4月开始报告。值得注意的是，包括首次发布日期之前的与COVID-19疾病相关的死亡案例在内。

本数据集中的死亡人数是通过根据患者年龄将年龄组分配给每位患者，然后按报告日期汇总每个年龄组内的患者死亡人数来计算的。全州总死亡人数是通过按报告日期汇总所有年龄组的死亡人数来计算的。死亡百分比是通过将每个年龄组的死亡人数除以按报告日期计算的全州总死亡人数来计算的。死亡人数代表了截至每个报告日期已报告的累计死亡人数。
