Low sensitivity was defined as the number of unexplained death cases in the first reports were equal to ten or higher.
Income-based country classification by World Bank (4 categories; high income, upper middle income, lower income, low income). The odds ratio was for high and upper middle-income levels compared to low and lower middle-income levels as a reference.
Night-time light level values range from 0 to 255, and higher value indicates higher brightness form artificial light.
