The children living in rural areas, in the central Indian states, in the lowest 20% of wealth index have the highest risk of death in India. The mortality rates in under 5, infant, neonates and early neonatal period in India declined by 43.5%, 31.2%, 32.1%, and 21.6%, respectively, ...
1) with substantial between- and within-country variation in these mortality rates across the region1. The three most dominant causes of under 5 mortality in SSA in 2017—lower respiratory infections (LRIs), diarrhoeal diseases, and malaria—were responsible for 1,066,000 (95% Uncertainty ...
Data on cause-specific mortality, skilled birth attendance, and emergency obstetric care access are essential to plan maternity services. We present the distribution of India's 2001–2003 maternal mortality by cause and uptake of emergency obstetric care, in poorer and richer states. The Registrar ...

National, regional, and state-level all-cause and cause-specific under-5 mortality in India in 2000–15: a systematic analysis with implications for the Sustainable Development Goals India had the largest number of under-5 deaths of all countries in 2015, with substantial subnational disparities. ...
It is not difficult to show that the variations in mortality are very great. From country to country, race to race, sex to sex, and class to class and from time to time within the same country, race, sex, or class, the age-specific mortality rates and the expectation of life vary tr...
In the two MDG regions with the most under-5 deaths, the leading cause was pneumonia in sub-Saharan Africa and preterm birth complications in southern Asia. Reductions in mortality rates for pneumonia, diarrhoea, neonatal intrapartum-related events, malaria, and measles were responsible for 61% ...
The disparity in child health outcomes across Indian districts, particularly in Eastern India, is alarming. Approximately half of the districts in this region exhibit very poor child health outcomes, evidenced by alarmingly high neonatal, infant, and under‐five mortality rates. This study analyses th...
The influence of visual impairment and blindness on the risk of mortality has been reported in diverse cohort studies. However, the results reported have varied from nonsignificant to significant associations. In the present study, we evaluated the influence of blindness on the risk of mortality from...
High infant mortality rate (IMR) reflects the presence of unfavorable social, economic, and environmental conditions during the first year of life [1–4]. The MDG-4 calls for reduction in under-five mortality by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015 [5]. In 2013, infant mortality contributed to...
