Effects of scaling up various community-level interventions on child mortality in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania: a modeling study

Table 4 Number of deaths averted by target year (2030) by intervention under ideal coverage scenario relative to BAU scenario

Interventions	Burundi	Kenya	Rwanda	Uganda	Tanzania
Breastfeeding practices due to promotion	─	324	55	1346	1261
Vitamin A supplementation	368	992	─	135	361
Hand washing with soap	1579	1374	158	3374	2984
ITN/IRS - Households protected from malaria	1261	─	197	─	─
Complementary feeding	394	231	103	371	789
ORS - oral rehydration solution	2365	1968	1479	4988	8529
Zinc for treatment of diarrhea	157	913	433	─	901
Oral antibiotics for pneumonia	2824	2552	1567	6845	10,455
MAM - treatment for moderate acute malnutrition	1154	1908	362	3554	3634
Total (sensitivity bound)*	10,102 (8210–11,870)	10,262 (7831–12,619)	4354 (3678–4958)	20,613 (16049–25,162)	28,914 (23300–34,002)

ITN/IRS insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), BAU business as usual. *Sensitivity bounds were derived from sensitivity analyses that estimated effects of interventions based upon the highest level of effectiveness reported for all interventions (upper bound) relative to the lowest levels of effectiveness (lower bound). An em dash (─) indicates that the item is not applicable, or the value is zero, because the coverage under BAU scenario reached 99% by 2030, which is equivalent to the coverage under the ideal scale up scenario
