Childhood mortality: probability of dying from ages 0–4 years from <5 deaths and population using life table ₅q₀ (per 1000). Infant mortality rate (IMR): deaths per 1000 live births (₁q₀); estimated from a regression analysis of international <5 mortality and IMR data from 1990, 2000 and 2010
Adult mortality: probability (%) of dying from ages 15–59 years (₄₅q₁₅)
^aBased on children ever-born and children surviving (CEBCS) for <5 mortality with an imputed Far East Asian model life table
^bBased on CEBCS for <5 mortality and adult mortality from the parental orphanhood method with and imputed Far East Asian model life table
95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for reconciled mortality rates from variance of probability of dying (_nq_x) using Chiang life table method
