| bFigures
for total deaths in children <5 y of age are rounded to the
nearest thousand; consequently, estimates of diarrhea and
rotavirus deaths are not calculated for countries with fewer
than 1,000 child deaths. |
| cDeaths
from diarrhea were derived by multiplying total deaths in
children <5 y of age by the estimated proportion of deaths
attributable to diarrhea, based on GNP per capita, as follows:
GNP < US$756, 21%; GNP = US$756–$2,995, 17%; GNP =
US$2,995–9,625, 9%; GNP > US$9,625, 1%. |
dDeaths
from rotavirus were derived by multiplying total diarrhea deaths
in children <5 y of age by the estimated proportion of
diarrhea deaths attributable to rotavirus, based on GNP per
capita, as follows: GNP < US$756, 20%; GNP = US$756–$2,995,
25%; GNP = US$2,995–9,625, 31%; GNP > US$9,625, 34%.
