How is this data produced?

This data is a subset of the data on deaths, for which the following definitions should be noted:

  • Infant Death: Death of a person less than 1 year old.
  • Neonatal Death: Death of a infant aged less than 28 days old (subset of infant deaths).

For a deeper understanding of the methodology and associated definitions, please refer to the Technical Notes.

What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?

This data is derived based on deaths registered with JPN. Therefore, if an early childhood death is not registered with JPN (for instance, if the death of a foreign infant is registered in their home country, or the death of an infant citizen in a remote area is not registered), it will generally not count in this dataset. However, adjustment has been made to the number of deaths in Sabah to account for the under-reporting of deaths detected based on the 'Study of Under Reporting of Deaths in Sabah', which was conducted by DOSM and approved by the Steering Committee on Implementation of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics in 2016.
