WHO all cause of mortality and excess death calculator is a graphical user interface for the monitoring of All Cause mortality and Excess Deaths.
Using the Shiny framework, we have built an application that runs in a web browser and gives the user access to powerful visualization, analysis and modeling of All Cause mortality and Excess Death statistics, without requiring software installation or knowledge of programming in R. The typical analysis workflow is represented by a series of tabs along the top of the screen, with additional options in tabs within each page. There are context-specific help buttons.
This GUI-based access to data analysis and visualization tools is useful for public health staff who want quick, easy access to plots, tables and analysis results.
With WPROACM you can:
- Load and edit All Cause mortality data from CSV and Excel.
- Look at plots and summaries of descriptive statistics
- Compute the expected deaths over times based on historical all-cause mortality data.
- Visualize the all-cause mortality and expected deaths over time.
- Customize and download plots and summaries for later use
There are two ways to interact with the application (links are on the sidebar on the right).
-
Online, via the WHO WPRO shinyapps.io server. This requires no local software installation, the app runs entirely in a browser window.
-
Locally from the R command line. This requires local installation of R, WPROACM and the packages it depends on.
WPROACM is under active development, so stay tuned for updates and let us know if you encounter issues.
If you have questions about how to use WPROACM or interpret output, please share them with us by leaving a message on this site or emailing Duan Mengjuan or the WHO WPRO Health Information and Intelligence Unit. For technical information on the methodology please email Mark S. Handcock at UCLA.
Please report bugs, suggestions or complaints about WPROACM on the GitHub repository
