Change in deaths coded to CVD may reflect misclassification of deaths caused by COVID-19. Numbers of death have been corrected for nonspecific or nonunderlying coding using the GBD standard redistribution method.13 Chile 2019 data were not available and therefore were excluded from calculation of the mean. Mongolia 2015 and 2017 data were not available and were excluded from mean. All data were from vital registration death registration in each location. Colors represent heatmap scaled to the values in that column.
CVD = cardiovascular disease; GBR = Great Britain.
