Anyone know why data only goes back to 2016. This organization was started in 2008, did it really take them 8 years to be able to start collecting data?

- SiempreViernes 6y agoA common reason for this is some bureaucratic change in the collection procedure that breaks comparability with older data. Another reason could be that it indeed took 8 years to get 26 countries to agree on, and implement correctly, common enough data reporting standards before the final analysis could be performed.

- DanBC 6y agoI think they have a 5 year limit on data. https://www.euromomo.eu/how-it-works/methods https://www.euromomo.eu/how-it-works/methods > Mortality baseline is modelled using a glm poisson corrected for over dispersion. The model is fitted on valid historical period as defined by the user, with a maximum of 5 years, I don't know why they impose this limit. I'm guessing there's something about population drift over time in there. They also changed the way they work in 2016: https://www.euromomo.eu/about-us/history https://www.euromomo.eu/about-us/history > From 2016 onwards, the EuroMOMO network has been supported by and worked closely with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe.
