Note: Risk ratio is the ratio of the proportion dead among births in a specific high-risk category to
the proportion dead among births not in any high risk category. Figures in parentheses are based on
25-49 unweighted cases. An asterisk indicates that a figure is based on fewer than 25 unweighted cases
and has been suppressed.
na = Not applicable
1 Women are assigned to risk categories according to the status they would have the birth of a child if
they were to conceive at time of the survey: current age less than 17 years and 3 months or order than
