As well as estimating the extent to which LE, DFLE and HLE for each ethnic group differ using each mortality estimation method, we also provide the first estimates of DFLE and HLE at birth by ethnic group for England and Wales.
Lives saved and, for ARV, life-years gained, were estimated using mortality estimation models and assumptions used by UNAIDS, WHO Stop TB and Roll Back Malaria.
The pooled estimates of the association between pollution and mortality, estimation of uncertainty, and estimate of variability between urban centers were determined by restricted maximum-likelihood methods (Lindstrom and Bates 1990).
About the IGME Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation was formed in 2004 to share data on child mortality, harmonize estimates within the UN system, improve methods for child mortality estimation and produce consistent estimates of child mortality worldwide for reporting on progress towards the Millennium Development Goals.
IGME: Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (IGME) was formed in 2004 to share data on child mortality, harmonise estimates within the UN system, improve methods for child mortality estimation and produce consistent estimates of child mortality worldwide for reporting on progress towards the Millennium Development Goals.
For total mortality, we used the UN Inter-agency Group for Childhood Mortality Estimation (CME Info) database to establish a baseline trend for under-5 mortaliny in Rwanda during the decade prior to iCCM implementation.
GBD 2010 and CHERG's mortality estimates represent enormous undertakings by some of the world's leading experts in mortality estimation, yet these separate efforts resulted in markedly different estimates for country-level and etiology-specific U5 mortality for pneumonia and diarrhea.
According to the Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-Agency Group (MMEIG), an estimated 287, 000 maternal deaths occurred in 2010 globally, down from 543,000 in 1990 [ 1].
According to the most recent estimates from the UN Inter-agency Gronp on Child Mortality Estimation (UN-IGME), the region of sub-Saharan Africa had the highest rate of child mortality (121 deaths per 1,000 live births) in 2010 (7), equivalent to one child in eight children dying before their fifth birthday.
We aimed to strengthen the scientific understanding of mortality estimation by reviewing progress across fields and building inter-disciplinary bridges.
