To assess spatial differences in avoidable mortality across 581 European districts and identify trends over time.
Analyzed cause-of-death statistics for 581 districts across 10 European countries from 2002 to 2019
Utilized age-standardized death rates (SDR) as the primary outcome measure
Conducted spatiotemporal hotspot analysis to identify mortality clusters
SDRs for avoidable mortality declined in most districts for both sexes
Disparities persist between men and women, as well as between amenable and preventable mortality
Central and Eastern Europe consistently exhibited higher SDRs compared to Western and Southern Europe
Confirmed hotspots and coldspots reflect substantial health inequalities
Findings underscore the importance of local socioeconomic factors in influencing health outcomes.
