Abstract: ⇒ Assessments of pandemic preparedness on mortality during the COVID-19 crises are challenged by cross-country gaps in data sources, reporting and demographics.⇒ Even when adjusting for log income and countryspecific COVID-19 mitigation strategies, there remained evidence of associations between pandemic preparedness and age-standardised excess mortality associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.⇒ This study adds to the sizeable literature examining the role of preparedness and pandemic impacts, but by more completely adjusting for cross-country differences in age.⇒ Additional collaborative studies are needed as more data on pandemic impacts emerge.
