Measuring progress towards achieving Millennium Development Goals in small populations: is under-five mortality in Tuvalu declining?

Conclusions: Small populations provide challenges in interpretation of IMR/U5MR trends. To ensure the correct interpretation of rates, CIs (95%) and tests for trend should be calculated. Tuvalu has experienced steady decline in IMR/U5MR over the past 20 years. PMID: 24750434 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
