Description:

Objectives—This study describes the use of death certificate literal text to identify and quantify COVID-19 deaths with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), or long COVID, in the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS).

Methods—Data are based on final and provisional NVSS death certificate data for deaths occurring in the United States during January 1, 2020–June 30, 2022. Deaths were limited to those with the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD–10) cause-of-death code U07.1 and literal text with keywords referring to PASC or long COVID. Data are based on death records received and processed by the National Center for Health Statistics as of October 7, 2022.

Results—The analysis identified 3,544 deaths mentioning long COVID key terms and coded to U07.1, the ICD–10 code for COVID-19, among deaths occurring in the United States from January 1, 2020, through June 30, 2022. The percentage of COVID-19 deaths with long COVID peaked in June 2021 (1.2%) and in April 2022 (3.8%). The age-adjusted death rate for long COVID was 6.3 per 1 million population for the 12-month period ending in June 2022. The long COVID death rate from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022, was highest among adults aged 85 and over, non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native people, and males. Non-Hispanic Asian people had the lowest death rate.
