PrincipeCes méthodes sont utilisées depuis de nombreuses années en épidémiologie, et ont été utilisées et adaptées à partir des années 1980 en démographie (Courgeau et Lelièvre, 1989). L’analyse des biographies permet de traiter des données longitudinales censurées. Ces données peuvent notamment être obtenues dans des enquêtes comportant un volet rétrospectif, décrivant l’histoire résidentielle, familiale ou professionnelle de l’individu. On peut ...
PrincipeLa modélisation de comportements individuels peut être effectuée non seulement en fonction de caractéristiques individuelles, mais aussi de données contextuelles qui vont influencer de manière similaire tous les individus soumis au même contexte. L’analyse multiniveau, dans ce cadre, vise à s’affranchir de l’erreur écologique (erreur qui consisterait à interpréter au niveau individuel les résultats d’une modélisation effectuée à un niveau agrégé) ...
Deaths are not published immediately by the official institution. The process consists of four steps, each death thus corresponding to one of four possible dates: (i) the occurrence of the death, (ii) notification to the health agencies, (iii) registration in the civil registry, and (iv) publication. For example, in France, the legal period for registering a death (step two) is ...
The proportion of deaths occurring at hospitals, home, and socio-medical institutions varies from one country to the next according to national health structures and modes of residence. For example, in France, a little over a quarter of all deaths occurs at home, 60% at hospitals, and 14% at institutions for seniors. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed different counts according to place of ...
The criteria for attributing a death to COVID-19 vary between countries and data sources, including biological tests, clinical diagnoses, or a reference to the infection on the death certificate. Patients dying at hospital were generally tested earlier, on admission, while deaths at home or at socio-medical institutions may be qualified in various manners. Consequently, the COVID-19 death count may vary ...
As the pandemic did not affect countries at the same time, one of the first recommendations is to align the curves with dates corresponding to the beginning of the epidemic and to identify key associated health events (F. Robin-Champigneul). There is no convention for declaring the initial day of the epidemic: it seems that countries are in a very close ...
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing question that continues to fuel scientific debate. In Europe, the epidemic initially spread from clearly identified clusters that may be considered as the epicentres of the first wave. Mortality rates were high in these areas, declining concentrically moving away from them. Italy was the first European country to be strongly impacted ...
How to assess and compare the extent of the crisis? The varying size of populations undoubtedly has an impact on the number of deaths during the epidemic. The data available on this website also include population sizes by sex and age. Taking into account the different numbers at risk is a prerequisite in epidemiology for the analysis of diseases and ...
Given the vulnerability to the virus of the elderly, national population age structures play a decisive role in the number of deaths. Table 7.1 shows deaths by age and sex for three countries, Spain, Germany, and Italy, for the period until 1 September 2020 (the first wave) and the period from 1 September 2020 to 1 September 2021 (following waves). ...
Etude Longitudinale sur l’accès à l’Autonomie des jeunes en Protection de l’enfance. ELAP porte sur les conditions de vie et d’accès à l’autonomie des jeunes accueillis à l’Aide Sociale à l’Enfance (ASE). 4 vagues d’enquêtes ont été menées entre 2013 et 2019 auprès de jeunes en fin de parcours à l’Aide sociale à l’Enfance.
