Impact of stunting on mortality Impact of wasting on mortality Impact of birth outcomes on mortality Impact of breastfeeding on mortality Impact of anemia on maternal mortality
Building on the information in the "Effectiveness of nutrition interventions," this editor calculates the impact of stunting rates, wasting rates, birth outcomes (SGA/preterm), and breastfeeding rates on child mortality. The tabs in this editor are organized by cause of death and age cohort or birth outcome group. Please note that effectiveness information is displayed as relative risks.

Impact of birth outcomes on mortality
•Effect size reference: Katz J, Lee AC, Kozuki N, et al. Mortality risk in preterm and small-for-gestational-age infants in low-income and middle-income countries: A pooled country analysis. Lancet 2013; 382(9890): 417–25. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23746775.
•Notes: This paper indicates the overall effect on neonatal mortality. Through discussion with the authors, we made some assumptions about which causes of death are likely to be associated with the term and gestational-age status of the children. Since the overall effect is applied to only a subset of births, this will underestimate the total impact. The relative risk associated with prematurity is calculated based on the strong assumption that there is no selection in which premature births are prevented.
Impact of breastfeeding on mortality
•Effect size reference: Black RE, Victora CG, Walker SP, et al. Maternal and child undernutrition and overweight in low-income and middle-income countries. Lancet 2013; 382(9890): 427-51. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23746772. (Supplementary material - Web Table 17.)
