The estimation of $r_2$ was based on a chained equations multiple imputation approach. The imputation model covariates included total notifications, population proportion aged more than 65 years, an indicator variable for the epidemiological region and whether a country was one of the 22 high-burden countries. The  overall mortality rate for all ages ($M$) can be expressed as a weighted average of mortality in children and adults, where $c$ is the proportion of children among the general population (\ref{eqn:M}). \begin{align}
