Residual cause groups with % burden higher than last cause included in ten leading causes:
Other perinatal	9.16	Other unintl. inj.	4.31	Other unintl. inj.	5.38	Other unintl. inj.	9.56	Other unintl. inj.	8.20
Other unintl. inj.	3.87	Other cardiac dis.	2.27	Birth asphx. = Birth asphyxia and birth trauma. Cer.VD = cerebro vascular diseases Diarh. dis. = Diarrhoeal diseases IHD = Ischaemic Heart Disease Infl. HD = Inflammatory Heart Disease LBW = Low Birth Weight LRI = Lower Respiratory Infection Obstrd labor = Obstructed labour. PEM = Protein Energy Malnutrition Road acc. = Road Traffic Accidents TB = Tuberculosis
Other congenital	3.24
Other infect. dis.	3.05
Other digestive dis.	2.53
Other cardiac dis.	1.86

Finally, let us consider the leading causes of disease burden from different estimates. Residual cause groups with percentage of burden higher than the last cause included in ten leading causes are shown at the lower panel. Five out of the ten leading causes are common to all five estimates. These are: Lower respiratory infections (LRI), diarrhoeal diseases, tuberculosis (TB), ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and falls. If we compare GBD96 with the local cause of death anchored estimate, another three leading causes are found to be common. These additional leading causes common to minimally anchored GBD96 and local mortality anchored estimates are: low birth weight, road traffic accidents, and fires. The top ten causes of burden produced by the two estimates differ by two conditions. The GBD96 estimate has protein energy malnutrition, and birth asphyxia. The local cause of death anchored estimate does not show this. Instead, self-inflicted injury, and cerebrovascular disease (Cer. VD) appear in the list of leading causes.
