Burden, Differentials, and Causes of Child Deaths in India
Abstract
Objective To review the current information on trends, burden, differentials, causes, and timing of under five (U5) child deaths in India. Methods We reviewed and analyzed data on child deaths in India from official government sources, reports, surveys, and from the published literature. The secondary analyses were carried out to provide additional insight. Results An estimated 1.84 million under 5 child deaths, including approx 1.44 million infant and 940,000 neonatal deaths occurred in India during 2007. More than 60% of these Under 5 child deaths occurred in 5 states: Uttar Pradesh (27.0%), Bihar (11.3%), Madhya Pradesh (9.9%), Rajasthan (8.0%) and Andhra Pradesh (5.7%). Approximately 41% of all Under 5 child deaths happen in the first week of life and the risk of deaths during neonatal period was at least 68 times higher than the rest of childhood. The children living in rural areas, in the central Indian states, in the lowest 20% of wealth index have the highest risk of death in India. The mortality rates in under 5, infant, neonates and early neonatal period in India declined by 43.5%, 31.2%, 32.1%, and 21.6%, respectively, between 1990 to 2007. However, the rate of reduction has slowed in last 4 years (2003-2007), with negative trend in the early neonatal mortality rate. Neonatal conditions (33%), pneumonia (22%) and diarrhea (14%) are the leading causes of under 5 deaths in India. Sepsis, pneumonia (30.4%), birth asphyxia (19.5%), and pre-maturity (16.8%) are the 3 co…

“While high socioeconomic status is associated with sepsis comorbidities (e.g., obesity and hypertension) in India, most sepsis cases and deaths occur among the rural, poor children and mothers who face birth with severe financial limitations and are denied preventative care (Corsi & Subramanian, 2019; Joshi & Kushwah, 2011; Lahariya & Paul, 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
