Note: Differences in all-cause mortality are expressed per 100,000 in the first column. The percent contributions of the overall differences due to each leading cause of death appear in the columns to the right. A negative percent contribution indicates that the East South Central and West South Central division had a rate of death lower than the comparison division due to that specific cause. A percent contribution greater than (+/−) 100 indicates that the difference in mortality between divisions due to that specific cause was greater than the difference in all-cause mortality.
