MCW: Multiple-cause-of-death weighting method; AIDS: acquired immune deficiency syndrome; HIV: human immunodeficiency virus.

^a The cause-of-death categories and subcategories are those listed in the European shortlist for causes of death, 2012.¹⁴

^b With the classic method, standardized mortality was calculated using only the underlying cause of death specified on the death certificate.

^c Details of the three multiple-cause-of-death weighting methods, MCW₁, MCW₂ and MCW₃, are given in the main text.
