Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

Rates such as the U5MR describe an aggregate. You can calculate the rate separately within categories of a covariate. That's all you can do with a rate.

If you want to do multivariate analysis, you have to construct a binary outcome for each child based on survival and analyze with hazard models or survival models or logit regression.
