The increase in cases is not expected to cause a surge in deaths, the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) said. It forecast that global daily deaths would average 2,748 people on Feb. 1, compared with around 1,660 currently. In January, deaths were more than 11,000 per day globally. IHME estimates that daily infections in the United States will increase by a third to more than a million, driven by students back in schools and cold weather-related indoor gatherings.

Researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation estimate more than 300,000 deaths from COVID-19 could occur this fall and winter, including deaths that may go unreported, totaling more than 1.3 million deaths by February.

Ali Mokdad, epidemiologist and professor of Health Metrics Sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, told The Hill the contrast in the regions can be attributed to multiple factors, including warmer temperatures in the U.S. and differing levels of community immunity. 

Thailand logged roughly three firearm-related deaths per 100,000 people in 2019, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, against about four for the United States.

It can affect anyone, but according to the latest data from WHO and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) women are twice as likely as men to have contracted the condition and those hospitalised with severe Covid are more likely to develop the condition. 

Para poner orden e intentar despejar dudas sobre la calidad de estas y otras recomendaciones, un grupo de investigadores coordinado desde el Instituto de Métrica y Evaluación Sanitaria (IHME) de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Washington, en Seattle, ha desarollado un nuevo sistema de metanalisis de estudios sobre factores de riesgo e impacto en la salud.

L'IHME (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation) américain, qui fait référence dans les statistiques de santé, a passé en revue la recherche dans 180 domaines, pour déterminer à quel point un facteur de risque, comme fumer des cigarettes, est lié à des conséquences de santé, comme le cancer du poumon.

A new tool from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, unveiled Monday in Nature Medicine, uses a 5-star rating system to show how much evidence exists to support some diet and lifestyle changes.

Although the probability of having chronic health problems from COVID is relatively low, the vast number of cases -- at least 670 million worldwide -- leaves a substantial burden of disability, said Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, where the study was conducted.
