  1. Note: The 26 deceased index children include 5 children who died on the day of their birth, and their mother’s death occurred within the following 4 days. All other children classified as deceased in this analysis (i.e., non-index children of maternal deaths and all children of women who died from non-maternal causes) died subsequent to their mother’s death.
