Habila: 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*
0.23 (0.00, 0.85) n = 132,048 PDAR
0.31 (0.00, 1.83) n = 160,020 PDAR
0.18 (0.05, 0.31) n = 626,640 PDAR
Under 5 mortality rate*
0.27 (0.00, 1.55) n = 37,128 PDAR
0.49 (0.00, 4.25) n = 41,160 PDAR
0.36 (0.05, 0.66) n = 169,260 PDAR

*Reported as deaths/10,000/day and calculated using a recall period of 168 days for the household census information.

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