Table 5. Primary analysis: Newborn mortality in intervention areas compared to comparison areas in 2007 and 2013 and adjusted for baseline.

Neonatal Mortality Rate per 1,000 Live Births	2007 (5 districts)				2013 (5/6 districts)
	Intervention wards	Comparison wards	OR~ (95% CI)	p	Intervention wards	Comparison wards	OR~ (95% CI)	p
Live births	33,553	30,603			21,898 /24,381	21,085/23,307
Deaths, days 0–27	1,140	1,035			661/749	616/679
Neonatal mortality rate per 1,000 live births (95% CI)	35.1 (33.1–37.2)	34.9 (32.8–37.1)	1.0 (0.9–1.1)	0.830	31.0 (28.8–33.5)/ 31.6 (29.5–34.0)	30.0 (27.7–32.5)/ 29.9 (27.8–32.3)	1.0 (0.9–1.2)/1.1 (0.9–1.2)	0.547/0.339
Effect adjusted for baseline mortality and population size within the wards and division							1.0 (0.9–1.2)	0.779

^~We used multilevel logistic regression to compute ORs specifying the ward and subvillage level. The intracluster correlation coefficients were 5.6% (95% CI 3.5%–8.8%) for the subvillage nested within the ward. The respective value for the ward level was 0.5% (95% CI 0.1%–2.7%).
