Fur Baranga: mortality rate estimates, 95% CIs, and sample size (total person days at risk: PDAR), by sampling design

Indicator
Sampling design


33 × 6 design
67 × 3 design
30 × 30 design

Crude mortality rate*
0.67 (0.00, 1.93) n = 179,498 PDAR
0.10 (0.00, 1.28) n = 193,602 PDAR
0.53 (0.34, 0.72) n = 659,362 PDAR
Under 5 mortality rate*
1.17 (0.00, 4.50) n = 42,804 PDAR
0.23 (0.00, 2.50) n = 43,952 PDAR
0.86 (0.32, 1.40) n = 174,988 PDAR

*Reported as deaths/10,000/day and calculated using a recall period of 164 days for the household census information.

Lower bound of CI truncated at 0 due to low mortality estimate and wide CI.
