*Crude analyses on neonatal mortality performed by means of generalised linear mixed effects model (logit link function). Fixed factors (maternal education and residence and household wealth) included separately in models, nested within random factor cluster.
†Adjusted analyses on neonatal mortality performed by means of generalised linear mixed effects model. Fixed factors (maternal education and residence, and household wealth, maternal age, birth order and sex of child) included simultaneously in model, nested within random factor cluster.
‡Two richest and two poorest quintiles dichotomised as ‘richer’ and ‘poorer’ quintiles.
