I think your estimates are off by about triple. The DHS final report for Tanzania pegs the U5 mortality rate around 112/1,000, or about 10%.

Also, to just get the mortality rate, you don't need to merge anything, so... Is this just the HIV-positive sub-sample or something (glancing back over the thread)? In that case, given that your period would cover the late 1990's and early 2000's before lots of ART drugs were available, your 30% figure could be about right. But certainly it is too high for the whole sample.
