TL;DR: Life expectancy and YLLs have improved more slowly since 2010 in all UK countries compared with 1990–2010, and targeted actions are needed if the rate of improvement is to recover.

TL;DR: The extent of compliance of commissioners and providers of hospital services in England with their duty under equalities legislation to be aware of patients with intellectual disabilities is explored as a first step to making appropriate provision for their consequent specific needs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the data and methods used in five different approaches to estimating excess mortality and compare their estimates. But none of the estimates captured mortality displacement and therefore may underestimate excess at the current time, though the extent to which this has occurred is not yet identified.

TL;DR: Those contracting infection between 8 and 30 days after initial presentation are at even higher mortality risk, signalling the potential for targeted interventions during this period to improve survival, and COVID-19 infection more than doubles the rate of early hip fracture mortality.
