^aEstimate of the probability of death between birth and the first birthday (₁q₀) multiplied by 1000. See the “Methods” section for further details.

^bEstimate of the probability of death between 1 and the fifth birthday (₄q₁) multiplied by 1000. The 1–4 year mortality rate used is the average risk of death over a 4-year period, which was present for the period of time indicated in column 1. See the “Methods” section for further details.

^cEstimate of the probability of death between birth and 5 years of age [₅q₀ = 1 − (1 − ₁q₀)(1 − ₄q₁)]. See the “Methods” section for further details.

^eThe number of deaths per year per 1000 children aged 1.0–4.9 years, ₄m₁, was converted to ₄q₁. See the “Methods” section for further details.
