Major Causes of Perinatal and Paediatric Mortality in Sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia: Adjustment for Selection Bias in the <scp>CHAMPS</scp> Network

Selection bias is not a concern in the CHAMPS Network. Deaths where MITS were performed accurately represent the distribution of causes of death in their respective target populations, specifically when stratified by age or adjusted accordingly. Future studies of child mortality that employ MITS should consider adjusting for age at death for their measures of frequency.

Abstract

Selection bias is not a concern in the CHAMPS Network. Deaths where MITS were performed accurately represent the distribution of causes of death in their respective target populations, specifically when stratified by age or adjusted accordingly. Future studies of child mortality that employ MITS should consider adjusting for age at death for their measures of frequency.
