Info

Children should be considered as vaccinated only when a card proves that the vaccination has been given. Unverified information from the mother stating that her child has had measles cannot be confirmed and therefore cannot be considered as statistically significant information. When the unverified information of the mother is taken into account the total is 73.4% of the children vaccinated. 6. Coverage of Nutrition Programmes The coverage of Feeding Centre programmes is estimated through comparing the number of severe malnourished children in Therapeutic Feeding programmes the day of the survey with the number of children found with severe acute malnutrition found in the survey, according to the ACF criteria (i.e. admission in feeding centre W/H < 70% of the median and/or oedema and/or MUAC
8. Mortality rate and Causes of Mortality The overall mortality was calculated by taking the total number of dead and multiplying this figure by 10,000. This figure was then divided by the total population 3 months previously. Finally it was divided again by 98. Ninety-eight represented the average number of days from ‘Atha’ to the survey. As the survey took place over a relatively long period of time (9 days - due to the security constraints), the number of days between ‘Atha’ and the 5 th day of the survey was calculated (98). The total number of recorded deaths over the last 98 days was 81 for the children underfive years of age, and 29 for the population over five years of age (see Annex 10). The mortality rate for under-five children was calculated as being 7.08 / 10,000/ day in the IDPs camps. This rate is very high, as a rate of more than 1 / 10,000 / day is considered above the norm. The reasons for mortality are cited below: CAUSE NUMBER % OF TOTAL DEATHS DIARRHOEA 45 55.6 MEASLES 2 2.5 ARI 5 6.2 MALARIA 2 2.5 MALNUTRITION 4 4.9 OTHER 23 28.4 TOTAL 81 100 The mortality rate for the population over 5 years of age was calculated as being 0.67 / 10,000 / day in the IDPs camps. This rate is high for a population above 5 years of age. The reasons for mortality are cited below: CAUSE NUMBER % OF TOTAL DEATHS DIARRHOEA 45 65.5 MEASLES 2 0 ARI 5 0 MALARIA 2 0 MALNUTRITION 4 0 OTHER 23 34.5 TOTAL 81 100 Note that in both cases Diarrhoea is the most important cause of mortality and represents well over half of all the recorded deaths. 23
