a: UNICEF country-specific mortality rates for the first year of the study [28]
b: Derived by subtracting child mortality 59q1 (in months) from child mortality 5q0
c: Estimated from study reporting that 80% of mosquito nets were treated in the intervention group [9]
d: Derived by adding the child mortality 59q1 (in months) to the neonatal mortality
e: Region-level estimates from DHS surveys [18, 21, 24]
f: Study specific estimate [22]
