Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You might look at this Further Analysis Report: Trends in Neonatal Mortality in Rwanda, 2000-2010 [FA88]https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FA88/FA88.pdf. I would recommend logistic regression, as used in this report, although not necessarily the decomposition, which is a lot more work and harder to interpret.
