aDx=cause-specific number of deaths in the sex-specific cohort from age a to age x.
%=percentage of all 712 cases of death that could be examined with the InterVA-4 tool.
aMx (‰)=cause-specific mortality rate per 1,000 person-years in the sex-specific cohort from age a to age x.

Idiosyncrasies of InterVA-4 lead to minor rounding errors and explain small differences between the disaggregated data and the summed up totals as presented in this study.
