Description: For all deaths with dates of death prior to July 1, 2023, in order to be determined as COVID-associated, all deaths (regardless of age) must meet criteria 1 and 2 below and pediatric deaths (<18 years of age) must meet criteria 1, 2, and 3: 1. The decedent had confirmatory molecular laboratory evidence for SARS-CoV-2 (i.e. a positive PCR test) 2. A case investigation determined that COVID-19 was the cause of death or contributed to the death, AND one of the following was true: a. The death occurred within 30 days of specimen collection for the confirmatory laboratory test (or ≤60 days if the patient was intubated) used to define the case and was due to a non-traumatic/non-accidental* cause OR b. The death certificate indicates COVID-19 or an equivalent term as one of the causes of death, regardless of the time elapsed since specimen collection of the confirmatory laboratory test used to define the case. 3. [For pediatric deaths only] One of the following was true: a. Symptomatic COVID-19 disease was never followed by full recovery to baseline health status prior to death OR b. Pathologic evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in heart, lung, or other tissues was present on autopsy. *A traumatic/accidental death is defined as sudden and/or unexpected (e.g., through violence, accident, drug overdose, or unforeseen medical event), and not due to illness. Death rate has been age-adjusted by the 2000 U.S. standard population.
The cumulative COVID-19 mortality rate can be used to measure the most severe impacts of COVID-19 in a community. There have been documented inequities in COVID-19 mortality rates by demographic and geographic factors. Black and Brown residents, seniors, and those living in areas with higher rates of poverty have all been disproportionally impacted.

Copyright Text: Indicator generated by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Data for calculating this indicator came from the following sources: LAC DPH’s definition of a COVID-associated death is based on guidance from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists and the California Department of Public Health. Death determination was driven by review of multiple sources, where available, including death report forms from providers, death certificates, coroner reports, medical record reviews, case interviews, and outbreak records.
