3 INFANT MORTALITY Expresses the extent to which death occurs in a population at a given time. 1 Death and Dying 2 Mortality 1- Loss of individual biological life. 2- Category strictly nature population. Consequently, mortality expresses the dynamics of the deaths occurring in populations over time and space, and only allows comparisons at this level of analysis.

4 INFANT MORTALITY General Mortality Volume of deaths from all causes of disease in all age groups and for both sexes. The crude mortality expresses the relationship between the volume of deaths in a given period and the size of the population in which they were presented ; The adjusted (or standardized) mortality expresses this relationship but considers the possible differences in the age structure, sex, etc. of the populations analyzed, allowing comparisons between them.

5 INFANT MORTALITY Specific Mortality When there is reason to assume that mortality can vary among different subgroups of the population it is divided for study. For example, mortality rates by age, sex, causespecific, and so on. Rates adjusted or standardized.

6 INFANT MORTALITY Specific Mortality In some cases combinations can be calculated several fractions population, and when so, the considered groups are specified ( for example, female mortality in reproductive age ). Specific mortality rates by age and sex are calculated as follows:

7 INFANT MORTALITY Classification: Infant mortality rate (IMR): Number of deaths of children less than one year of age per 1000 live births. The rate for a given region is the number of children dying under one year of age, divided by the number of live births during the year, multiplied by 1,000.

8 INFANT MORTALITY Classification: Forms of infant mortality: Perinatal mortality is late fetal death (22 weeks gestation to birth), or death of a newborn up to one week postpartum. Neonatal mortality is newborn death occurring within 28 days postpartum. Neonatal death is often attributed to inadequate access to basic medical care, during pregnancy and after delivery. This accounts for 40 60% of infant mortality in developing countries.

9 INFANT MORTALITY Classification: Postneonatal mortality is the death of children aged 29 days to one year. The major contributors to postneonatal death are malnutrition, infectious disease, and problems with the home environment.

22 Millennium Development Goals GOAL 4: REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY Target 4.A: Reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate Between 1990 and 2015, the global under-five mortality rate has declined by more than half, dropping from 90 to 43 deaths per 1000 live births. Between 1990 and 2015, the number of deaths in children under five worldwide declined from 12.7 million in 1990 to almost 6 million in

23 Millennium Development Goals GOAL 4: REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY Target 4.A: Reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five mortality rate Children of mothers with secondary or higher education are almost three times as likely to survive as children of mothers with no education. While Sub-Saharan Africa has the world s highest child mortality rate, the absolute decline in child mortality has been the largest over the past two decades. Every day in 2015, 16,000 children under five continue to die, mostly from preventable causes. Child survival must remain a focus of the new sustainable development agenda. 23

Can we extrapolate community deaths from hospital-based deaths? Are there subgroups within community deaths? Can you pair seamlessly community RSV deaths with RSV surveillance? What are the challenges for the program/ team?
