| Short name: | Child under 5 mortality rate (and excess deaths) (AIHW Data), 2010 |
| METEOR identifier: | 396923 |
| Registration status: |

| Description: | There are two measures for this indicator:
Measure (1a): Mortality rates for children aged less than five years, by Indigenous status Measure (1b): Excess deaths for Indigenous children aged less than five years. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) data for this indicator is for perinatal mortality only. |
| Rationale: | High level of public interest. Key measure for the 'Closing the Gap' indicator of halving the gap in mortality rates for children under 5. |

| Computation description: | Part A: Number, rate, rate ratio and rate difference
(‘Perinatal mortality’ is defined as death of an infant within 28 days of birth (neonatal death) or of a fetus (unborn child) that weighs at least 400 grams or, if birth weight is unavailable, at gestational age of 20 weeks or more). Part B: Excess perinatal deaths: Observed number of Indigenous deaths among perinatals less expected number of perinatal deaths among Indigenous children if the age specific rate of the non-Indigenous population was applied to the Indigenous population. |
| Computation: | Part A: 1000 x (Numerator ÷ Denominator) Part B: Excess deaths: Observed number of Indigenous deaths among perinatals less expected number of perinatal deaths among Indigenous children if the age specific rate of the non-Indigenous population was applied to the Indigenous population. |
| Numerator: | Number of perinatal deaths (foetal and neo-natal) |
