The data for this table use the longitudinal measurements of under-5 mortality within each survey from all 85 surveys between 1995 and 2011. Where multiple surveys provided point estimates for the same country and year (for example, the Armenia 2005 and 2010 surveys both provide estimates for under-5 mortality for 2000 to 2005), the data with the shorter retrospective period were retained. IQR, interquartile range.
