In this study, we utilise the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank [17] [18] [19] to investigate mortality in care homes in Wales in the initial phase of the UK lockdown and compare this with corresponding data from the four most recent years to estimate excess mortality. We aimed to compare the mortality risk for older care home residents (60+) in Wales for each year between 2016 and 2020. When compared with previous years and after adjustment for age, sex, deprivation and HFRS, our results show substantial excess mortality in care home residents during the first phase of the COVID-19 lockdown. ./cache/cord-328565-3jzcdy1a.txt ./txt/cord-328565-3jzcdy1a.txt
