Three house-to-house surveys were conducted in three different districts in Kenya, using a cluster survey technique for estimation of neonatal tetanus death rates. The results showed neonatal death rates of 10, 16 and 23 per 1000 livebirths and neonatal tetanus death rates of 6, 11 and 16 per 1000 livebirths respectively. A recall method based on interviews with women attending antenatal clinics gave much lower rates. The community surveys indicate a total neonatal tetanus death rate of 8 per 1000 livebirths and it is estimated that each year between 8000 and 12,000 children die in Kenya from this preventable disease.
在肯尼亚的三个不同地区进行了三次逐户调查，采用整群抽样调查技术来估计新生儿破伤风死亡率。结果显示，每1000例活产儿的新生儿死亡率分别为10、16和23，每1000例活产儿的新生儿破伤风死亡率分别为6、11和16。基于对产前诊所就诊妇女访谈的回忆法得出的死亡率要低得多。社区调查表明，每1000例活产儿的新生儿破伤风总死亡率为8，据估计，肯尼亚每年有8000至12000名儿童死于这种可预防的疾病。
