Dear all,

I am estimating under-five mortality rates based on small age segments (0, 1-2, 3-5, 6-11, 12-23, 24-35, 36-47, 48-59 months), following the DHS guideines, which results in probabilities of death.

I wonder if it is possible (or if it is correct) to estimate the absolute number of under-five deaths/ children at risk based on these age groups and what would be the best approach for this.

Thank you!
