Growth and Development

Which one of the following is the leading cause of mortality in under five children in developing countries?

• Malaria

• Acute lower respiratory tract infections

• Hepatitis

• Pre-maturity

Premature infant is one which is born:

• Before 40 weeks

• Before 38 weeks

• Between 28-37 weeks

• Between 28-42 weeks

Single most important factor determining survival chances

of newborn is:

• Birth order

• Multiple gestation

• Intrauterine infection

• Low birth weight

All of the following deaths are included in as causes of maternal death except:

• Following abortion

• During lactation 1st month

• During lactation 8th month

• During the last trimester due to APH

Maternal Mortality Rate is calculated by:

• Maternal deaths/live birth

• Maternal deaths/1000 live births

• Maternal deaths/100000 live births

• Maternal deaths/100000 population

All of the following statements are true about the childhood mortality rates in India except:

• Almost half of infant mortality rate (IMR) occurs in neonatal period

• Almost 3/4th of the under-five mortality occurs in the first year of life

• About one in thirteen children die before they reach the age of five years

• Neonatal mortality is higher among female children as compared to males.

Infant mortality does not include:

• Early neonatal mortality

• Perinatal mortality

• Post neonatal mortality

• Late neonatal mortality

Which of the following is the least likely cause of Neonatal mortality in India?

• Severe infections

• Congenital malformations

• Prematurity

• Birth asphyxia

In a certain population, there were 4050 births in the last one year. There were 50 still births. 50 infants died within 7 days whereas 150 died within the first 28 days. What is the neonatal mortality rate?

• 50

• 62.5

• 12.5

• 49.4

Child survival index is calculated by?

• 1000-IMR/10

• IMR-1000/10

• 1000-U5MR/10

• U5MR-1000/10
