Country-specific estimates, 60+ years age group: posterior distributions of $C F R_{d i f f}$ (=CFR in women – CFR in men), for each country. The horizontal black line represents the 95% HPDs. Ninety-five per cent HPD intervals are the same as that of 95% HDIs. Ninety-five per cent HPDs for Eswatini (−0.17 to −0.021), Guinea (−0.063 to −0.022), Kenya (−0.182 to −0.027), Mauritius (−0.296 to −0.023), São Tomé e Principe (−0.137 to −0.008), Senegal (−0.061 to −0.02) and Sierra Leone (−0.296 to −0.026) do not contain 0, indicating significant differences between sex-specific CFRs in these countries. CFRs, case fatality rates; HDI, highest density interval; HPD, highest posterior density.
