Fig. 4: LRI mortality rate attributable to S. pneumoniae among children under 5 in 2000 and 2017.

From: Identifying residual hotspots and mapping lower respiratory infection morbidity and mortality in African children from 2000 to 2017

Fig. 4

a, S. pneumoniae LRI mortality rate per 1,000 episodes for each country (indicated by the ISO3 abbreviations; www.iso.org/obp/ui) in 2000 and in 2017. b, The same mortality rate in 2017 in black, with the blue regions indicating gains made due to current PCV coverage and the orange regions indicating remaining reductions possible with perfect PCV coverage. Countries are plotted in order of the current mortality rate. c, The plot from b reoriented to illustrate the absolute difference in current mortality rate versus a baseline of no PCV deployment. The height of the orange bar indicates the remaining gain available in mortality rate given 100% PCV coverage. d, Same information as c but by total number of avertable deaths. Countries in purple are in western sub-Saharan Africa, countries in light green are in central sub-Saharan Africa, countries in orange are in southern sub-Saharan Africa, countries in pink are in eastern sub-Saharan Africa and countries in dark green are in North Africa. The arrows indicate countries located in the 2017 residual hotspot.
