Determination of Causes of Deaths by Verbal Autopsy (VA)
Bangladesh, a nation with a population of about 170 million people, is presently undergoing a fast epidemiological transformation. In the last two decades, under-five mortality has dropped substantially, from 97 per 1,000 live births in 1998 [1] to 28 in 2020 [2]. Furthermore, like in other South Asian nations, noncommunicable diseases (NCD) are becoming more important as a cause of death and poor health as a result of changing diets and other lifestyle variables connected to an aging population and urbanization [3]. These trends underscore the need for a consistent and timely source of cause of death (COD) data in Bangladesh to enable policymakers to spend resources more effectively and efficiently to enhance public health.
