- Conclusion
Bangladesh has experienced a significant reduction of child mortality over the past decades which helped achieve the Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG 4) target. But the mortality among under-5 aged children is still relatively high and it needs a substantial effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target and decelerate the curren...
Data from three repeatedly cross-sectional Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys (BDHSs) for the year 2007, 2011 and 2014 were used. A stratified two-stage sampling method was used to collect information on child and maternal health in these surveys. Cox’s proportional hazards models with community and mother level random effects (or frailty mo...
Our study reveals that urban-rural disparity in child mortality has decreased over the time. The frailty models revealed that the combined effect of birth order and preceding birth interval length, sex of the child, maternal age at birth, mother’s working status, parental education were the important determinants associated with risk of child morta...
Our study suggests that community-based educational programs and public health interventions focused on birth spacing may turn out to be the most effective. Moreover, unobserved community and familial effects need to be considered along with significant programmable determinants while planning for the child survival program.

Sep 11, 2021 · This paper addresses a key evidence gap related to the cause and context of child mortality in Bangladesh. This can aid in reinvigorating the programmes and make course corrective measures to achieving the ambitious Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets of reducing neonatal mortality rate to ≤12 per thousand live births and under-five ...
