    "additionalInfo": "The International Completeness of Death Registration 2015\u20132019 database (ICDR), produced by Ariel Karlinsky, represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date database on the completeness of death reporting globally.\n\nAll of the work and sources are documented in detail on GitHub: https://github.com/akarlinsky/death_registration.\n\nYou can read a detailed description of the ICDR in the medRxiv preprint \"Karlinsky, A. (2021). International Completeness of Death Registration 2015\u20132019.\": https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.12.21261978v1.\n\nAs of 18 February 2022, the available data on completeness of death reporting from international organizations such as the UN Statistics Division is not as up to date and contains less precise estimates than the ICDR. For example in the most recent UN data, published in February 2021, the estimate for Bolivia is from the year 2000 and is listed as \"less than 90%.\" In contrast, the ICDR has a precise estimate for Bolivia in each year from 2015\u20132019, which in 2019 is 65%. The UN data is here: https://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic-social/crvs/.\n\nAriel Karlinsky is also co-producer of the World Mortality Dataset (WMD), which collects data on all-cause mortality from 2015\u20132022 for currently 117 countries and territories. The WMD is one of the primary sources for data on excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can find the WMD on GitHub here: https://github.com/akarlinsky/world_mortality.",
