Here are the calculations for Question 3:
Given data for 2017:
- Total live births = 2,380
- Stillbirths = 85
- Death in children less than 1 year = 145
- Death in children less than 5 years = 328
- Deaths occurring 28 weeks gestation to 7 completed days of life (Stillbirths + Early Neonatal Deaths) = 258
Step 1: Calculate the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR).
InfantMortalityRate=TotallivebirthsDeathsofchildren<1year×1,000
InfantMortalityRate=2,380145×1,000
InfantMortalityRate≈60.924
- Infant mortality rate: ∗60.92per1,000livebirths∗
Step 2: Calculate the Stillbirth Rate.
StillbirthRate=Totallivebirths+TotalstillbirthsNumberofstillbirths×1,000
StillbirthRate=2,380+8585×1,000
StillbirthRate=2,46585×1,000≈34.483
2. Stillbirth rate: ∗34.48per1,000totalbirths∗
Step 3: Calculate the Perinatal Mortality Rate.
PerinatalMortalityRate=Totallivebirths+TotalstillbirthsStillbirths+EarlyNeonatalDeaths×1,000
The problem states that "deaths occurring 28 weeks gestation to 7 completed days of life in 2017 is 258", which represents the sum of stillbirths and early neonatal deaths.
PerinatalMortalityRate=2,380+85258×1,000
PerinatalMortalityRate=2,465258×1,000≈104.665
3. Perinatal mortality rate: ∗104.67per1,000totalbirths∗
Step 4: Calculate the Under-five Mortality Rate.
Under−fiveMortalityRate=TotallivebirthsDeathsofchildren<5years×1,000
Under−fiveMortalityRate=2,380328×1,000
Under−fiveMortalityRate≈137.815
4. Under-five mortality rate: ∗137.82per1,000livebirths∗
