Trends in age-specific childhood mortality and all-cause under five mortality (ACCM) stratified by residence and malaria transmission risk, Malawi, 1996–2000, 2000–2004, and 2006–2010. ACCM (5q0) was estimated from the 2000, 2004, and 2010 Demographic and Health Surveys using period estimates for the 5 years before the survey. This was further disaggregated into (A) smaller age groups and stratified by (B) urban/rural residence and (C) malaria transmission risk areas. NN = neonatal mortality (first month) per 1,000 live births; PNN = post-neonatal mortality (age 1–11 months) per 1,000 live births; 1q0 = infant mortality (first year) per 1,000 live births; 4q1 = child mortality between exact age 1 and exact age 5 per 1,000 children surviving to 12 months of age; 5q0 = under-five mortality per 1,000 live births.
