Figure 2.

Two graphs plotting relative risk of mortality (overall effects and added effects) in 18 countries, namely, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Columbia, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Moldova, Philippines, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, UK, USA, Vietnam. The 12 heat wave definitions are as follows: 90P underscore 2day, 90P underscore 3day, 90P underscore 4day, 92.5P underscore 2day, 92.5P underscore 3day, 92.5P underscore 4day, 95P underscore 2day, 95P underscore 3day, 95P underscore 4day, 97.5P underscore 2day, 97.5P underscore 3day, and 97.5P underscore 4day.

Cumulative effects of heat waves on mortality (A. overall effects of heat waves and B. added effects of heat waves after controlling for effects of daily mean temperature) over lag 0–10 d in 18 countries/regions for 12 types of heat wave definitions. Please refer Table 1 for heat wave definitions.
