The INDEPTH Network works to alleviate this problem by collating detailed individual data from defined Health and Demographic Surveillance sites. By registering all deaths over time and carrying out verbal autopsies to determine cause of death across many such site...
متن کاملPregnancy-related mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH Health and Demographic Surveillance System sites

متن کاملCause-specific childhood mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH health and demographic surveillance system sites

Although the majority of childhood deaths occur in Africa and Asia, these are also the regions where such deaths are least likely to be registered. The INDEPTH Network works to alleviate this problem by collating detailed individual data from defi...
متن کاملMortality from external causes in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH Health and Demographic Surveillance System Sites
BACKGROUND Mortality from external causes, of all kinds, is an important component of overall mortality on a global basis. However, these deaths, like others in Africa and Asia, are often not counted or documented on an individual basis. Overviews of the state of external cause mortality in Africa and Asia are therefore based on uncertain information. The INDEPTH Network maintains longitudinal ...
