Global estimation of neonatal mortality using a Bayesian hierarchical splines regression model
<b>Background</b>: In recent years, much of the focus in monitoring child mortality has been on assessing changes in the under-5 mortality rate (U5MR). However, as the U5MR decreases, the share of neonatal deaths (within the first month) tends to increase, warranting increased efforts in...
