*Countries are listed in increasing p% among the 0–64-y-old age stratum.
†For Canada, the 0–14-y-old age band given in stmf is extrapolated from the 0–44-y age band in the original data https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/tbl/csv/13100768-eng.zip. See https://www.mortality.org/File/GetDocument/Public/STMF/DOC/STMFNote.pdf for stmf methods.
NR: not reliable (given the very small population and extremely small number of deaths of children, excess deaths can be markedly influenced by single anomalies, e.g., in Iceland there were only 6 reported deaths in that age stratum in 2019 (less than a third versus 2017) and in Luxembourg there were 76 in 2022 (more than double versus the 2017–2019 average).
