We systematically assessed the sex ratios of mortality rates in the early life course, from birth to age 24 years, for 200 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021. We compiled three extensive databases, including publicly available data sources …
This web appendix is for Estimation and probabilistic projection of levels and trends in the sex ratio at birth in seven provinces of Nepal from 1980 to 2050: a Bayesian modeling approach.
The slides were presented on Aug 8th, 2021, in the 2021 Joint Statistical Meeting (virtual meeting).
We introduce a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate the disparity in age-specific mortality by sex for all countries over time.
This web appendix is for Sex ratio at birth in Vietnam among six subnational regions during 1980–2050, estimation and probabilistic projection using a Bayesian hierarchical time series model with 2.9 million birth records.
The slides were presented on Mar 16th, 2021, in the 2021 ENAR Spring Meeting (virtual meeting), Session 56 Time Series Modeling.
The slides are for preprint Sex ratio at birth in Vietnam among six subnational regions during 1990-2050, estimation and probabilistic projection using a Bayesian hierarchical time series model.
It is crucial to monitor demographic and global health indicators accurately in order to optimize resource allocation. This is especially so in developing countries where the improvement of these health indicators is most needed. However, estimating …
We describe a method for probabilistic scenario-based projection of the sex ratio at birth (SRB; ratio of male to female live births) for all countries, with a focus on SRB imbalance due to sex-selective abortion till 2100.
The progress in reducing the under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) since 1990 has been remarkable but uneven within countries between urban and rural populations. While trend U5MR estimates have been published frequently, an analysis of U5MR by urban and …
For all low-income and middle-income countries (excluding China) combined, the absolute disparities in under-5 mortality rate between the poorest and richest households have narrowed significantly since 1990, whereas the relative differences have …
