Spearman correlation (p value) between ReadyScore or GHSI metrics and indicators of disease outcome or management
| Score/score component | Proportion of deaths from communicable, maternal, neonatal and nutritional diseases (2017) | Deaths from five specified communicable diseases per capita per annum (2017) |
| ReadyScore (n=93 countries) | −0.78 (<0.0001) | −0.73 (<0.0001) |
| GHSI overall (n=195 countries) | −0.56 (<0.0001) | −0.43 (<0.0001) |
| Prevent | −0.57 (<0.0001) | −0.44 (<0.0001) |
| Detect | −0.39 (<0.0001) | −0.30 (<0.0001) |
| Respond | −0.37 (<0.0001) | −0.29 (<0.0001) |
| Health system | −0.60 (<0.0001) | −0.49 (<0.0001) |
| Commitments | −0.24 (0.00084) | −0.08 (0.31) |
| Risk environment | −0.71 (<0.0001) | −0.56 (<0.0001) |
ReadyScore is the average across the 19 JEE categories; ‘Proportion of deaths from communicable, maternal, neonatal and nutritional diseases’ is the proportion of annual deaths by country due to communicable diseases derived from 2017 Global Burden of Disease study data, this category includes maternal and neonatal deaths and deaths due to nutritional disease. ‘Deaths from five specified communicable diseases’ is a composite of: diarrhoeal disease, HIV, lower respiratory infection, meningitis and tuberculosis, expressed as cases per capita per annum.
GHSI, Global Health Security Index; ;JEE, Joint External Evaluation.
