Abstract
Background
As of June 1st, 2023, the world had 767.57 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 6.94 million deaths. Vietnam, by then, had 11.61 million infected cases and 43,206 deaths, with a cumulative incidence death rate of 440.04 per million. However, there have been not many studies on changes in mortalities around that pandemic. This study would particularly focus on mortalities of all causes, Covid-19, pneumonia, influenza, and road traffic accidents (RTA).
Objective
To evaluate the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on all causes, including Covid-19, Pneumonia, Influenza, and RTA mortality rates in Vietnam.
Study Design
Population-based ecological study, cross-sectional study
Materials and Methods
This cross-sectional study was performed on the data of yearly population, all causes, pneumonia, influenza, and RTA deaths from the Vietnamese government and international web sources, Our World in Data and The Global Burden of Disease, for Covid-19 cases and deaths from 2005 to 2021. PASW Statistics 18 software was used for interrupted time series analysis.
Results
The mortality trend of all-cause increased by 1.5% annually before Covid-19 happened, however the trend declined by 2.0% per year after 2019. Vietnam had 25,099 excess deaths in 2021, approximately 4.15% higher than the expected data.
The number of deaths from RTA decreased by 24.72% in 2021, compared to 2019. RTA deaths decline annually of 4.9% during Covid-19 pandemic. From 2018 to 2020, pneumonia, influenza deaths increased up to 802.63%, raising the possibility of confusion in the differential diagnosis between Covid-19 infection and pneumonia caused by other causes in Vietnam.
Conclusion
Vietnam's government kept the Covid-19 pandemic under reasonable control from the beginning to the end of 2020. After that, the number of cases and death rate of Covid-19 rapidly increased in 2021 because of variants Delta and Omicron.
All-cause mortality trend declined by 2.0%, and RTA deaths fell by 4.9% per year during the pandemic. Vietnam had 25,099 excess deaths, or 4.15% in 2021. Pneumonia and influenza deaths increased to 802.63% in two years from 2018-2020.
