Crude Death Rate (CDR)
Trend analysis shows that compared with last year, the situation improved in
68 percent of emergency sites, and deteriorated in 31 percent of sites.
Results:
Results of mortality surveys between June 2004 and June 2005 were analyzed. Forty-five emergency sites were surveyed in 15 countries (12 African countries, one country in Middle East and two countries in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC)).
The FY 2005 target of CDR declining or remaining stable in two-thirds of emergency sites was met.
The second indicator is the percent of emergency area being monitored, defined as the availability of reliable, updated current year data. Recent consultations with technical partners resulted in the establishment of a new baseline and the setting of new targets which will be reported next year.
For 21 emergency sites, data were available to compare current or FY 2005 prevalence levels
with the previous year. This analysis shows that CDR declined in 68 percent of the sites, and
deteriorated in 31 percent of the sites. The FY 2005 CDR was above the threshold of one death/per
10,000 persons/per day in 37 percent of the sites (compared to 40 percent of sites in FY 2004).
