A retrospective study of 1,003 children permits us to identify precisely rates and causes of mortality in children under 5 years old in a rural holoendemic malaria area of the People's Republic of the Congo. The mortality rates are distinctly lower than those generally observed in tropical Africa. Infant mortality (0-1 year) was found to be 71%, mortality 13%, early neonatal mortality (0-7 days) 41% and mortality between 1-5 years, 49%. Main causes of mortality are those related to pregnancy (prematurity, obstetrical pathology) and with infectious diseases particularly measles. On the other hand, no death seems to be attributable directly to malaria in this study.
一项对1003名儿童的回顾性研究使我们能够精确确定刚果民主共和国农村高度地方性疟疾地区5岁以下儿童的死亡率及死亡原因。该死亡率明显低于热带非洲普遍观察到的死亡率。发现婴儿死亡率（0 - 1岁）为71%，1 - 5岁死亡率为13%，早期新生儿死亡率（0 - 7天）为41%，1 - 5岁死亡率为49%。主要死亡原因是与妊娠相关的因素（早产、产科病理）以及传染病，尤其是麻疹。另一方面，在本研究中似乎没有死亡直接归因于疟疾。
