Thank you so much for the answer.

I already have mortality rates calculated using DHS procedures. However, I also need the <number of deaths> and the <number of children at risk> for the entire group of under-fives.

What I am not sure of is whether I can combine the numerators and denominators of the eight age groups (later combined into probabilities of death) to obtain absolute death / exposure values for all under-five children. If so, how to do that, since the simple sum of values results in estimates inconsistent with the mortality rates.
