Dear all,

I write on a special topic related to the calculation of the mortality of children.I noticed 2 technical comments on the child mortality estimation from the SPSS program.

-First, there are troncature for the 0 segment in the file tmp2 (deaths) and exposd12 (exposure), then in principle of the CMC based on the months of age, this age interval can't go through a period;

-Then, the principle of exclusion at the limit of the periods is not uniform given that the segments are unequal in length. These observations are noted in more detail in the attached file.

Thanks in advance for returning me your comments and observations.

I wrote a few comments on the program for estimating mortality of children ending with a suggestion of adding two additional conditions.

According to the content of the file attached to my first post, the child mortality calculation program must be adjusted to the estimation method principle in order to:
1. standardize death exclusions at the upper limit of periods;
2. ensure equity in the treatment of age groups (0, 1-2, 3-5,6-11,12-23,24-35,36-47 and 48-59 months) which are unequal in length.

Best regards and waiting for an informed response on the matter.

Dear Group members,

I am trying to analyse the factors associated with NMR and IMR. I found the recent NDHS 2016 (Nepal) dataset is a bit different, in terms of IMR calculation compared to previous (2012).
Previously also, I have analysed NDHS 2012 and NDHS 2006 of Nepal and published some articles.

Hence, can you please help to figure out this issue? Which variable to pick for calculating the IMR and NMR?

Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.

The method of calculating NMR and IMR have not changed between the 2011 and 2016 surveys, so you can use the same approach as before.
