Journal ArticleDOI
Global, regional, and national causes of child mortality in 2000-13, with projections to inform post-2015 priorities: an updated systematic analysis.
Lei Liu,Shefali Oza,Daniel R Hogan,Jamie Perin,Igor Rudan,Joy E Lawn,Simon Cousens,Colin Mathers,Robert E. Black +8 more
TL;DR: The authors' projection results provide concrete examples of how the distribution of child causes of deaths could look in 15-20 years to inform priority setting in the post-2015 era.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes of death in children younger than five years in China in 2015: an updated analysis.
Peige Song,Evropi Theodoratou,Xue Li,Lei Liu,Yue Chu,Robert E. Black,Harry Campbell,Igor Rudan,Kit Yee Chan +8 more
TL;DR: Estimates of the COD spectrum in children younger than five years old from 2009 to 2015 are updated and validates the accuracy of the findings of the previous COD study and a new modelling method is proposed to predict proportions for the most common causes of child death in China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the distribution of causes of death among children age 1–59 months in high-mortality countries with incomplete death certification
TL;DR: From studies reporting as few as two different causes of death, statistical modelling can be used to estimate the causes of child mortality for settings with incomplete vital registration systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in causes of death among children under 5 in Bangladesh, 1993-2004: an exercise applying a standardized computer algorithm to assign causes of death using verbal autopsy data
TL;DR: A standardized algorithm to assign causes of death using symptoms collected through the three verbal autopsy studies conducted with the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys remains a promising tool to generate comparable causes of child death using VA data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deriving causes of child mortality by re–analyzing national verbal autopsy data applying a standardized computer algorithm in Uganda, Rwanda and Ghana
TL;DR: The standardized computer algorithm has the advantage of requiring minimal resources from the health care system and represents a promising way to re–analyze national or sub-national VA studies in place of physician review for the purpose of global comparison.
