From: The burden of malaria in Sudan: incidence, mortality and disability – adjusted life – years
Malaria case fatality and mortality calculation model. Overall case fatality ratio of severe malaria reported in a mesoendemic area was used to extrapolate the case fatality ratio in hypoendemic and hyperendemic areas, after adjusting for differences in cerebral malaria proportions between the different endemicity areas. The overall ratios were disaggregated by age and pooled for all areas in each age group. The age specific number of deaths was used to calculate age specific mortality rates and was combined with the number of malaria episodes to calculate age specific case fatality ratios and rates of malaria.
