ABSTRACT

Background: Excessive Mortality is considered an especially useful indicator to assess the health impact of COVID-19 at the international level; its employment has been increasing throughout 2021, but in the national scientific literature its presence is, as far as we know, null.
Objectives: to define and discuss the characteristics and computation requirements. To illustrate the use of the indicator through calculation of Excessive Mortality for Cuba, and compare results with other countries.
Methods: Illustrative study of the use and interpretation of an indicator of COVID-19 impact.
Results: Excessive Mortality in Cuba compares favorably with that of other countries, in particular in the Latin American region.
Conclusions: The incidence of the disease, together with the Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions implemented by Governments, among other factors, influence Excessive Mortality. In the case of Cuba, it is necessary to calculate the Excessive Mortality for 2021, given that in that year the highest incidence rates were observed, and thus contribute to the evaluation of the global resilience of our Health System in the face of the pandemic.
