Indicative level: —

Use deaths from the same reporting period as the denominator time period.
Use the best available average population denominator and document its source.
For under-5 mortality, both deaths and population must refer to children under 5.
Interpret thresholds with local baseline mortality, displacement, age structure and programme guidance.
Small death counts produce wide uncertainty; review the confidence interval.
