Monitoring überschüssiger Sterblichkeit in Europa für Krankheitsüberwachung und Pandemieprävention

Monitoring of excess mortality across Europe for timely assessment of the impact of communicable diseases and public health threats - The overall objectives of this call for tender are: 1. To develop and maintain a network of EU Member State national authorities or study sites engaged or planning to engage in excess mortality monitoring. 2. To develop and maintain continuous and timely data collection processes, analytical methods and timely outputs for estimating expected mortality and identifying excess all-cause mortality monitoring across age groups and geographic areas. 3. To assess and analyse the impact of influenza, SARS-CoV- 2, RSV and other epidemic or pandemic respiratory virus circulation on all-cause excess mortality. 4. To build and strengthen capacity in EU Member States for implementing harmonised mortality monitoring methodologies for all-cause excess mortality. 5. To disseminate analytical outputs in scientific, professional and public fora, and to support ECDC in integrating excess mortality findings into respiratory virus surveillance outputs. 6. To ensure uninterrupted excess all-cause mortality monitoring during a pandemic, extreme environmental events or an unexpected major public health event. 7. To ensure close collaboration with ECDC to support methodological alignment, data integration, and preparedness for a potential future transfer of activities.
