Sources: Stillbirth data are from WHO 2005a. Neonatal and perinatal mortality are country, regional, and global estimates. Age 5+ and total data are from table 6.4 for low- and middle-income countries. All other data are from chapter 3 of this volume.

Note: A blank cell indicates that fewer than 1,000 deaths are attributable to the specific cause.

a. Hepatitis, tropical-cluster diseases, leprosy, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, trachoma, intestinal nematode infections, and other infectious diseases.

b. Low birthweight deaths are those resulting from intrauterine growth retardation or preterm birth. Almost all low birthweight deaths in the neonatal period result from preterm birth.

c. Epilepsy, alcohol use disorders, Alzheimer's and other dementias, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, drug use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, insomnia (primary), migraine, mental retardation attributable to lead exposure, and other neuropsychiatric disorders.

d. Rheumatic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, inflammatory heart diseases, and other cardiovascular diseases.

e. Other neoplasms, endocrine disorders, sense organ diseases, genitourinary diseases, skin diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, and oral conditions.

f. Poisonings, falls, fires, drownings, and other unintentional injuries.

g. Violence, war, and other intentional injuries.
