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

The under-five mortality rates for the Pakistan 2017-18 DHS are based entirely on the birth history. Verbal autopsies were not included in this survey. We have just confirmed this with the survey manager, Anjushree Pradhan. We would be interested to learn of the source of this misinformation and would be grateful if you could tell us where you saw it.
