Neonatal mortality rate Infant mortality rate Under-five mortality rate Percent of child deaths by proximate cause
You may choose to review and leave the default values for baseline child mortality (neonatal mortality rate, infant mortality rate, and under-five mortality rate), or you may click anywhere in the table of interest to begin entering data. You may also review the distributions for child deaths by proximate cause (neonatal and post-neonatal), and adjust as appropriate.
•Definition: Number of deaths during the neonatal period (first 28 completed days of life) per 1,000 live births.
•Default data source: Estimates developed by the UN Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (http://www.childmortality.org/).
•Notes: All values can be replaced with DHS/MICS or other estimates if they are more appropriate for the analysis that will be completed.
•Definition: Number of deaths of children under one year of age per 1,000 live births.
•Default data source: Estimates developed by the UN Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (http://www.childmortality.org/).
•Notes: All values can be replaced with DHS/MICS or other estimates if they are more appropriate for the analysis that will be completed.
•Definition: Probability of a child born in a specific year or period dying before reaching the age of five, if subject to age-specific mortality rates of that period.
•Default data source: Estimates developed by the UN Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (http://www.childmortality.org/).
•Notes: All values can be replaced with DHS/MICS or other estimates if they are more appropriate for the analysis that will be completed.
Percent of child deaths by proximate cause
•Definition: The proportion of under-five deaths due to one of eight neonatal causes (diarrhea, sepsis, pneumonia, asphyxia, prematurity, tetanus, congenital anomalies, and other) and nine post-neonatal causes (diarrhea, pneumonia, meningitis, measles, malaria, pertussis, AIDS, injury, and other).
•Default data source: WHO estimates for years 2000-2017. https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/themes/mortality-and-global-health-estimates
