Obtaining mortality data from non-European countries such as the US could be important from an European perspective for several reasons, e.g. for comparative analysis, policy insights (and thus evidence of potential differences between health systems and policies), migration and globalization, and for a broader understanding of global health trends. Therefore, the results of this analysis confirm that the age-adjusted death rate for children aged 1–14 years was significantly lower in the first two years of the pandemic in the US, but also that it increased by about 7% in the second year of the pandemic (i.e. 2021) compared to the previous three years, thus closely reflecting the data reported in Europe.

Abstract
Obtaining mortality data from non-European countries such as the US could be important from an European perspective for several reasons, e.g. for comparative analysis, policy insights (and thus evidence of potential differences between health systems and policies), migration and globalization, and for a broader understanding of global health trends. Therefore, the results of this analysis confirm that the age-adjusted death rate for children aged 1–14 years was significantly lower in the first two years of the pandemic in the US, but also that it increased by about 7% in the second year of the pandemic (i.e. 2021) compared to the previous three years, thus closely reflecting the data reported in Europe.
