Comparison data marked with are from the World Health Statistics 2014, which provides data for 2012 (8).
Comparison data marked with are from the most recent Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, which provides data collected in late 2011 and early 2012 (9).
Originally, the comparison data were age-standardized and provided as per 100,000 population. For comparison, the data were transformed into crude mortality rates per 1,000 person-years by assuming 1,000 population = 1,000 person-years and ignoring any age standardization.
The cluster of communicable diseases consists of all infectious, contagious, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional conditions, even though the latter three conditions are not communicable. These conditions were grouped together to facilitate comparison with the World Health Statistics 2014, which also uses this grouping (8).
Defined as all-cause mortality in children under 1 year.
Defined as all-cause mortality in children under 5 years.
