Table 7.
Mortality rates by birth weight in intervention and control clusters during the trial period among live births
| Characteristics | Trial period | |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Control | |
| Live births, N | 3,725 | 3,905 |
| Mortality for births <1000 g | ||
| Births <1000 g, N | 10 | 7 |
| Neonatal deaths, N | 9 | 7 |
| Neonatal mortality < 28 days, n (rate/1000) | 900 | 1000 |
| Mortality for births 1000–1499 g | ||
| Births 1000–1499 g, N | 22 | 20 |
| Neonatal deaths, N | 14 | 10 |
| Neonatal mortality < 28 days, n (rate/1000) | 636 | 500 |
| Mortality rates for births 1500–2499 g | ||
| Births 1500–2499 g, N | 487 | 454 |
| Neonatal deaths, N | 20 | 33 |
| Neonatal mortality < 28 days, n (rate/1000) | 41.1 | 72.7 |
| Mortality rates for births ≥ 2500 g | ||
| Births ≥ 2500 g, N | 3,206 | 3,424 |
| Neonatal deaths, N | 38 | 52 |
| Neonatal mortality < 28 days, n (rate/1000) | 11.9 | 15.2 |
Note: The table provides frequencies and rates for neonatal mortality by birth weight group. The event counts within clusters are too small to get reliable estimates of relative risk for treatment versus control groups
