*Structure index comprised items from the following domains: infrastructure, laboratory services, hygiene equipment, safe delivery equipment and drugs for mothers, resuscitation equipment for newborns in the delivery ward, essential equipment in the newborn unit, intravenous fluids and feeds in the newborn unit and essential drugs in the newborn unit.24
†Crude inpatient neonatal mortality data estimates are based on study where 21% of the outcome data were missing and are therefore likely to be biased.41
