*All mortality rates are calculated from the NDHS birth history data for the same prior 5-year period as the VASA deaths
±Total neonatal mortality rate per 1000 live births; Each age-specific rate estimated directly from the cohort that survived to the start of that age group
βVASA cause-specific mortality fraction for the prior 5-year period
£Cause-specific mortality rate
€Total 1–59 month mortality rate, calculated as: 1-((1-U5MR)/(1-NMR)); Each age-specific rate estimated directly from the cohort that survived to the start of that age group.
