Status at birth

 

Definition: Percentage of children born in one of four categories: Pre-term and small for gestational age (SGA), pre-term and appropriate for gestational age (AGA), term and SGA, and term and AGA. SGA is defined as <10th percentile; pre-term is defined as <37 weeks.

Incidence of diarrhea

 

Definition: Number of episodes of diarrhea that would be observed per child-year.

 

Default data source: Fischer Walker CL, Rudan I, Liu L, et al. Global burden of childhood pneumonia and diarrhoea. The Lancet 2013; 381(9875): 1405-16. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23582727.

 

Notes: The standard DHS estimates cannot be used as they are typically collected in the dry season. The values are regional values.
