Table 2 compares costs per death in 2013 in our study with adjusted costs from WISQARS by age category. Overall, our study is 55% higher. Our study exceeds WISQARS by the highest percentage (69%) for the age category 45–64. On the other hand, our study gives lower values for suicides in persons aged 75 and above.
