5. When do neonatal deaths occur? Up to 50% of neonatal deaths are in the first 24 hours 75% of neonatal deaths are in the first week – approximately 3 million deaths Source: Lawn JE et al Lancet 2005, Based on analysis of 47 DHS datasets (1995-2003), 10,048 neonatal deaths)
6. Risk of stillbirth, newborn, maternal mortality: WHEN? Sources: Maternal deaths: from WHO/UNICEF/UNFPA 2000 estimates. Child deaths from UNICEF estimates for 2000, Neonatal deaths from WHO RHR estimates 2004. Stillbirths from WHO in SOWC 2001. Denominator used is the number of live births from UNICEF, adjusted to all births by adding the 4 million stillbirths. Timing of maternal deaths is based on Li XF et al, 1996 after subtraction of 13% estimated to be related to unsafe abortion, assuming these are prior to the last trimester (WHO 1997). Percent of stillbirths that are intrapartum from Lawn JE et al (WHO Bull June 2005)). Child deaths, percentage early neonatal, neonatal, months 2-12 and years 2-4.99 based on WHO and UNICEF estimated rates for 2000. Percentage of deaths on day 1 based on 2 inputs; DHS data (34 most recent surveys, 10,041 NNDs, median year 2000). Study input of 28 studies (NNDs 7369, median year 1991)

Data from DHS surveys in 47 countries, 10,048 neonatal deaths. A very high proportion of deaths occur in the first hours and days after birth. Prevention of these early neonatal deaths will require improvements in care at the time of birth and improvements in care in the early neonatal period.
