The Lancet, one of the oldest scientific medical journals in the world, published two peer- reviewed studies on the effect of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and subsequent occupation on the Iraqi mortality rate. The first was published in 2004; the second (by many of the same authors) in 2006. * +

The authors described this as a conservative estimate, because it excluded the extreme statistical outlier data from Falluja. If the Falluja cluster were included, the mortality estimate would increase to 150 percent over pre-invasion rates (95 percent CI: 1.6 to 4.2). * +

The second survey published on 11 October 2006, estimated 654,965 excess deaths related to the war, or 2.5 percent of the population, through the end of June 2006. The new study applied similar methods and involved surveys between May 20 and July 10, 2006. * +
