Supplementary notes

*The source states: "40 of the 2020 PEH deaths were identified through our COVID-19 surveillance efforts and would not have otherwise been identified as PEH based on standard method alone. This inclusion of deaths based on a different methodology slightly inflates the upward trend in PEH deaths from 2019 to 2020 compared to the year-to-year trends in previous years."
