Table 2 Cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMFs) by age group for 4009 deaths from the Afghanistan Mortality Survey verbal autopsy dataset, with cause of death determined by the InterVA-5 model using datasets extracted on the basis of WHO-2016, WHO-2012 and Tariff-2 indicator formats. Causes of death are shown in WHO-2016 categories, as well as in broad groups
