The 5 last columns of the table show the percentage of deaths having documents with supplementary information attached. For some of the deaths several supplementary documents are attached. This is, however, not evident in the table, as only the more highly ranked supplementary document is included for each death. The supplementary documents are ranked from left to right in the table, i.e. in the sequence Result from autopsy, Information from the Cancer Registry, Documents from the Medical Birth Registry, Returned form for supplementary information, and other.
