Abstract
We performed a nationwide mortality follow-back survey for all deaths under the age of 1 between September 2016 and December 2017 in Flanders, Belgium. For all death cases identified through death certificates, treating physicians were sent an anonymous questionnaire about which ELDs were made. Details of the method were published elsewhere.1Keywords
