Notes: This table shows the difference in postneonatal mortality from each cause of death across countries. All means are computed on the sample of infants alive at 1 month. Means are in units of 1000 deaths. Data for all countries cover 2000-2005; as described in the text, the sample is limited to singleton births at ≥22 weeks of gestation and ≥500 grams with birth weight and gestational age observed.
