From January 1992 to December 1993, a total of 361 births and 243 deaths were recorded by village reporters in five villages in Muheza District, north eastern Tanzania. Among those aged less than one year 48 deaths were recorded, giving an infant mortality rate of 133 per 1000 live births (95% CI 97.9-168.0). There were 42 deaths among the censused population of 845 children aged 1-4 years (24.8/1000/year, 95% CI: 17.4-32.3). Verbal autopsy questionnaires were administered to parents or close relatives of 83 of the dead infants and children. From analysis of these, 30 of the deaths were tentatively attributed to malaria. The results are discussed in relation to other studies in East and West Africa and to the prospects for reducing mortality by use of insecticide impregnated bednets.
1992年1月至1993年12月，坦桑尼亚东北部穆赫扎区五个村庄的乡村报告员共记录了361例出生和243例死亡。在1岁以下儿童中，记录了48例死亡，婴儿死亡率为每1000例活产133例（95%可信区间97.9 - 168.0）。在845名1 - 4岁儿童的普查人口中有42例死亡（24.8/1000/年，95%可信区间：17.4 - 32.3）。对83名死亡婴儿和儿童的父母或近亲进行了口头尸检问卷调查。通过对这些调查的分析，初步确定30例死亡归因于疟疾。结合东非和西非的其他研究以及使用杀虫剂浸渍蚊帐降低死亡率的前景对结果进行了讨论。
