*Mean annual respiratory EMRs per 100 000 population for EMR-contributing countries were calculated using an age-specific and country-specific Bayesian hierarchical model for seasonal or annual estimates and their standard errors.
†Analytic divisions were calculated using WHO Global Health Estimates of respiratory infection mortality.
‡The analytic divisions for Hong Kong and Taiwan were based on vital records data from the Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong Government and the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan because WHO Global Health Estimates did not generate estimates for Hong Kong or Taiwan.
