Table 4.
Death counts for broad disease categories for 2003–2023 and for the pandemic years 2020–2023 with different weighting schemes (W0: no weighting, only the underlying cause is counted; W1: 50% weight for the underlying cause and the other 50% shared equally among other causes; W2: weight shared equally among all causes; W2A: weight shared equally among all causes but considering ICD-level causes rather than just broad categories) separately for deaths under 65 years old and for deaths 65 years old or older. The causes weighted are all on the Record Axis.
