a. Completeness of death registration data was assessed using standard demographic methods (see text).
b. Includes countries where death registration data for years prior to 2001 were used to project levels of child and adult mortality to construct a life table based on a country standard derived from the last available year of death registration data.
c. Also includes countries where death registration data were used to project levels of child and adult mortality as inputs to the WHO logit life table system using a global standard.
