Avoidable Deaths on the Rise in the United States

When a person passes away, medical professionals often analyze the cause of death to determine if it could have been prevented through medical intervention or treatment. These types of deaths, known as avoidable mortalities, have been decreasing in most high-income countries worldwide. However, a recent study conducted by researchers at the Brown University School of Public Health and Harvard University reveals a troubling trend in the United States.

The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, compared mortality data from all 50 U.S. states with data from countries in the European Union and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The findings uncovered a concerning pattern – while avoidable mortality rates in the EU and OECD countries have been improving, the United States has been experiencing an increase in avoidable deaths for more than a decade.

Lead study author Irene Papanicolas, a professor at Brown’s School of Public Health, expressed that the findings indicate underlying issues within the American healthcare system and public policy that may be contributing to worsening health outcomes. Despite higher healthcare expenditures in the U.S. compared to other countries, the study found no clear association between spending and avoidable mortality rates.

The research revealed that avoidable mortality increased across all U.S. states by an average of 32.5 deaths per 100,000 people, in contrast to a decrease in EU countries by 25.2 deaths per 100,000 people and a decrease in OECD countries by 22.8 deaths per 100,000 people. This alarming trend is further highlighted by the fact that deaths from various causes, including road accidents, vaccine-preventable illnesses, and treatable conditions, are on the rise in every U.S. state.

Papanicolas emphasized the need for U.S. policymakers to address this growing mortality gap and investigate strategies to reverse this concerning trend. Future research will focus on identifying measures that the U.S. can adopt from other countries to reduce avoidable deaths and improve overall health outcomes.

The study serves as a call to action for policymakers to address systemic factors contributing to the rise in avoidable deaths in the United States. By understanding the underlying causes and implementing effective interventions, the U.S. can work towards improving health outcomes and reducing avoidable mortalities.
