Hi Jacob,

1) The sample does not focus only on malaria-related cases, and so it is possible to calculate all-cause mortality rates, however the survey did not focus on the collection of data for child mortality.
2) The calculation of the mortality estimates in DHS surveys is described in the Guide to DHS Statistics ( http://www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-dhsg1-dhs -questionnaires-and-manuals.cfm) pages 90-94, so you can see if your approach differs from the DHS standard approach.
