*CI, confidence interval; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus; P&I, pneumonia and influenza; C&R, circulatory and respiratory.
†Risk ratio estimates (95% confidence intervals) of each death category were adjusted for number of days in each month, linear and squared time trends, seasonal patterns, temperature, and relative humidity; –, risk factor was not included in the model.
