Differences between age-standardised rates of DALYs using the GBD WSP compared to ESP2013, Scotland, 2014–16 ‘ESP2013’ denotes 2013 European Standard Population; ‘GBD WSP’ denotes GBD 2017 World Standard Population; Absolute rate differences calculated by subtracting the difference in age-standardised rates (between those directly standardised to GBD WSP and ESP2013); Relative rate differences were calculated as the percentage difference in age-standardised rates (between those directly standardised to GBD WSP relative to ESP2013); Causes of disease/injury ranked based on ascending order of absolute rate differences; Causes above/below the solid black line have lower/higher age-standardised rates of DALYs when the GBD WSP is used compared to the ESP2013
