A total of 135 people were reportedly killed in the first week of the fragile Syrian truce.
The figure, released by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, relates to the areas covered by the partial truce.
Outside those areas, 552 people were killed, according to the British-based group.
David Cameron took part in a conference call about the truce with the leaders of Russia, Germany, France and Italy on Friday.
They agreed to use the "positive dynamic" to restart peace talks, which are scheduled to resume on 9 March in Geneva.
It comes as Islamic State lost control of the Syrian side of a major border crossing with Iraq.
Opposition activists said the Free Syrian Army, reportedly supported by the US, killed one IS fighter and injured several others while taking the Tanaf crossing.
The IS-affiliated Aamaq News Agency denied the reports.
Meanwhile, IS killed between 15 and 20 soldiers as it attacked the government's supply route to the contested northern city of Aleppo.
Government forces repelled the attack and secured the road.
The five-year Syrian civil war has killed more than 250,000 Syrians. Millions more have been forced from their homes.
