N = 10,159 for all values except axillary temperature; which is only reported for episodes, which at least 1 fieldworker-confirmed temperature measured during the course of the episode. Anorexia, dysentery, fever, reduced activity, vomiting, and dehydration are reported as the proportion of episodes in which the symptom was reported on at least 1 day, versus none.

*By maternal report.
