    Gupta et al. BMC Public Health (2018) 18:1378 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-6282-z RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Causes of death and predictors of childhood mortality in Rwanda: a matched case-control study using verbal social autopsy Neil Gupta1,3,4* , Lisa R. Hirschhorn2, Felix C. Rwabukwisi3, Peter Drobac1,3,4, Felix Sayinzoga5, Cathy Mugeni5, Fulgence Nkikabahizi5, Tatien Bucyana5, Hema Magge1,3, Daniel M. Kagabo3, Evrard Nahimana3, Dominique Rouleau3, Amelia VanderZanden6, Megan Murray1,4 and Cheryl Amoroso3 Abstract Background: Rwanda has dramatically reduced child mortality, but the causes and sociodemographic drivers for mortality are poorly understood. Methods: We conducted a matched case-control study of all children who died before 5 years of age in eastern Rwanda between 1st March 2013 and 28th February 2014 to identify causes and risk factors for death. We identified deaths at the facility level and via a community health worker reporting system. We used verbal social autopsy to interview caregivers of deceased children and controls matched by area and age. We used InterVA4 to determine probable causes of death and cause-specific mortality fractions, and utilized conditional logistic regression to identify clinical, family, and household risk factors for death. Results: We identified 618 deaths including 174 (28.2%) in neonates and 444 (71.8%) in non-neonates. The most commonly identified causes of death were pneumonia, birth asphyxia, and meningitis among neonates and malaria, acute respiratory infections, and HIV/AIDS-related death among non-neonates. Among neonates, 54 (31.0%) deaths occurred at home and for non-neonates 242 (54.5%) deaths occurred at home.

In 1990, Rwanda was at least one of the Sub-Saharan Africa countries with poor performance on health-related MDGs indicators. To date, despite the setbacks caused by the 1994 genocide, impressive performance is registered. The objective of the study is to document Rwanda gradual progress to achieving the health-related MDGs 2015 targets from 1990 to 2014/2015. Methods: The study is retrospective and comparative documenting the period of 1990 to 2014/15. Results: The performance of Rwanda on health-related MDGs 2015 targets is impressive despite the negative effects of the 1990-1994 civil wars and the 1994 genocide against Tutsi on 1990's levels. In effect, out of 17 health-related MDGs indicators, eleven (11) registered "remarkable" performances, i.e. reached global levels or fastened Vision 2020 targets attainment, two (2) registered "good performances", i.e. reached basic or revised own targets exhibiting overall impressive performance, while four (4) "weaknesses" are observed, i.e.
