Reported are the results of a study to assess the prevalence and risk factors for perinatal death among pregnant women in Malawi over the period 1987-90. There were 264 perinatal deaths among the 3866 women with singleton pregnancies (perinatal mortality rate, 68.3 per 1000 births). Among the ...
It shows potential as a maternal death surveillance system, and may be applicable to similar contexts with high maternal mortality. 展开 关键词: Research Report Summary Report Rural Areas Maternal Mortality Death Rate Causes of Death Measurement Interventions Developing Countries Geographic Factors DOI: ...
A criterion of Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) ≥ 700 deaths per 1000 live births for neonates weighing < 1000g was used. This cut-off was considered conservative since mortality in this group without full intensive care was reported to be at least 800 per 1000 live births [24, 27...
Cause of death was ascertained by verbal autopsy. There were 317 deaths among 7054 under-5 singleton children followed for 14118 person-years. The mortality rate was 22·5 per 1000 person-years (95% CI 20·1–25·1). The neonatal mortality rate was 241 per 1000 person-years, similar in...
the first 60 days of life, the Markov model extrapolated the life expectancy (D LE ) discounted for the period after the first 60 days and up to the expected time of death using the equation , where m i is the mortality probability in the i th year and r is the discount rate. The...
According to Malawi SDG end-line survey in 2014, mortality rate for children under-5-years old was at 85 per 1000 live births, which is still high [25]. This study compared how seasonality of malaria and climatic factors reward the number of children <5 years of age from Zomba district,...

The under-5 mortality rate had declined at an average annual rate of 5·4%, to 71 (90% CI 58–83) per 1000 livebirths. In this study, we used a recently completed national survey to determine whether Malawi achieved MDG 4. Malawi's progress was notable in part because it ran counter...
Whilst most infections in humans are asymptomatic (≈88%), the clinical disease does occur and is characterized by signs that range from mild fever to severe hemorrhagic disease along with multiple organ failure and often result in death. Further, high case fatality rate (10–50%) has been re...
