It also highlights the increasing burden of these infections, with an exception in 2020 when the overall burden was estimated to decrease. Changes in annual burden estimates can be affected by changes in surveillance, or changes in healthcare practices, such as in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic put pressure on all health services in EU/EEA countries. Part of the decrease in 2020 can also be explained by measures taken to control the spread of COVID-19, including changes in infection prevention and control, and changes in the patient mix in hospitals due to the different hospitalisation practice during the pandemic.

To better reflect the net effect of the contribution of business births and deaths to the estimates during the pandemic, BLS implemented special procedures to the net birth-death model in March 2020. Effective with the release of October 2021 preliminary estimates, BLS determined that adjustments to its birth-death methodology were no longer necessary. Therefore, the birth-death contribution to establishment survey estimates beginning with October 2021 are forecast using the methodology used prior to the onset of the of the COVID-19 pandemic (described on this page).
