【 摘 要 】

On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. As of 31 December 2021, worldwide there were reported 288,702,042 cases and 5,436,385 fatalities amongst those who were diagnosed with the disease ( 1 ). A search in SCOPUS database for “COVID-19” revealed 249,437 scholarly articles published until end of 2021; despite such amassed knowledge, the topic of mortality not associated with this disease remains very weakly represented, with very few published studies ( 2 – 4 ).
