Childhood Mortality Estimates
Neonatal mortality
Probability of dying in the first month of life
Postneonatal mortalityProbability of dying between one month and first birthdayInfant mortalityProbability of dying before the first birthdayChild mortalityProbability of dying between age one and fiveUnder-5 mortalityProbability of dying before the fifth birthdaySlide4
Childhood Mortality Rates
Deaths per 1,000 live births for the 5-year period before the surveySlide5
Childhood Mortality by Mother’s Education
Deaths per 1,000 live births for the 10-year period before the survey Slide6
Childhood Mortality by Wealth
Deaths per 1,000 live births for the 10-year period before the survey Slide7
Under-5 Mortality by Region/State
Deaths per 1,000 live births for the 10-year period before the
survey
Figures in parentheses are based on 250-499 unweighted exposed persons. Slide8

Maternal Factors Associated with High Risk of Childhood Mortality
Children are at an elevated risk of dying if:
Too short birth interval: less than
24 months after a previous birthMother is “too young” (under 18) or “too old” (over 40)High birth order: mother has four or more childrenSlide11
Childhood Mortality by Previous Birth Interval
Deaths per 1,000 live births for the 10-year period before the survey Slide12
Childhood Mortality by Birth Order

Estimating Adult Mortality
Data collected from respondents:
Deaths of brothers and sistersReported ages at death and years since deaths
Age-specific mortality rates estimated by number of deaths in each age group by total person-years of exposure to the risk of dying in that age group.Rates calculated for 7 years preceding the surveySlide15
Adult Mortality
In the seven-year period before the survey:
2.1
women died for every 1,000 women per year5.0 men died for every 1,000 men per yearSlide16
Adult Mortality by AgeSlide17
Pregnancy-Related Mortality
Pregnancy-related mortality
includes all deaths that occur to women during pregnancy, during birth, and up to 2 months after birth or the end of the pregnancy. Slide18
Pregnancy-related Mortality
Pregnancy-related mortality ratio (PRMR) for the 7-year period before the survey =
227 deaths per 100,000 live births
8% of female deaths were pregnancy-related Slide19
Pregnancy-Related Mortality Ratio
Pregnancy-related deaths per 100,000 live birthsSlide20
Key Findings
Infant mortality rate
is 40 deaths per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality rate is 50 deaths per 1,000 live births.Childhood mortality is generally higher among children of less educated mothers.Childhood mortality is considerably higher among children born less than 2 years after a previous birth.The pregnancy-related mortality ratio is 227 deaths deaths per 100,000 live births for the 7 years before the survey.
