Strengthening civil registration and vital statistics, including establishment of all\u2010cause mortality surveillance, is essential for improved monitoring of future pandemics and other important public health events. A detailed review of the direct and indirect effects of COVID\u201019 on mortality should be conducted to identify areas that require more resources, improve health provision and inform mitigation efforts in future pandemics to save lives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/irv.70086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,8]],"date-time":"2025-03-08T10:28:56Z","timestamp":1741429736000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Excess All\u2010Cause Mortality by Age and Gender During the COVID\u201019 Pandemic in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina: 2020\u20132022"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2663-3044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0160eila","family":"Cilovi\u0107\u2010Lagarija","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health Federation of Bosnia Herzegovina  Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johanna\u00a0Thea\u00a0M\u00f8lgaard","family":"Rantzau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The EuroMOMO Network Statens Serum Institut  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sini\u0161a","family":"Sko\u010dibu\u0161i\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health Federation of Bosnia Herzegovina  Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine University of Mostar  Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjin","family":"Musa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health Federation of Bosnia Herzegovina  Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Armin","family":"Spre\u010do","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Regional Executive Office Region \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland  Link\u00f6ping Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Health, Medicine, and Caring Sciences Link\u00f6ping University  Link\u00f6ping Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amna","family":"Isakovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health Federation of Bosnia Herzegovina  Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mirza","family":"Palo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Health Organization, Country Office in Bosnia and Herzegovina  Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faris","family":"Dizdar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Health Organization, Country Office in Bosnia and Herzegovina  Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hidajeta","family":"\u010colovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Statistical Office  Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Veronica\u00a0Ivey","family":"Sawin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health Federation of Bosnia Herzegovina  Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6477-2219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jens","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The EuroMOMO Network Statens Serum Institut  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pernille","family":"Jorgensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"World Health Organization, Regional Office for Europe  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","unstructured":"WHO \u201cCoronavirus (COVID\u201019) Dashboard \u201d accessed: Oct. 27 2023.
