Figure 3

Cause-specific mortality fraction relative error between physician-certified verbal autopsy and InterVA versus reference standards, by cause of death. CSMF error is presented between PCVA and hospital-based deaths, and InterVA-3 and PCVA, from reviewed studies. The bars of the graph are not comparable between PCVA and InterVA-3, as each used a different reference standard. CSMF, cause-specific mortality fraction; PCVA, physician-certified verbal autopsy.
