Concordance between responses to individual verbal autopsy questions given by birth attendants and by mothers who experienced an early neonatal death

^a Overall concordance was calculated by adding the percentages of concordant responses to individual questions and dividing the result by the number of questions.

Note: The figure is restricted to the subset of deaths for which maternal and birth attendant responses to questions on the time of death (i.e. stillbirth versus early neonatal death) were concordant. Questions A1–14, B1–16, C1–6, D1–12 and E1–16 correspond to responses presented in Appendix A.
