• Access to electricity had the largest protective posterior fixed effect for under-5 mortality (beta=−8.50) and infant mortality (beta=−6.45). — Bayesian spatiotemporal modelling of neonatal, infant and under-5 mortality (2000–2022) in 41 Asian countries: a population-level observational study
• Environmental variables such as temperature and precipitation had weaker associations with child mortality than immunisation, longevity and education indicators. — Bayesian spatiotemporal modelling of neonatal, infant and under-5 mortality (2000–2022) in 41 Asian countries: a population-level observational study
• Female literacy and life expectancy were negatively associated with child mortality, indicating long-term child survival benefits from education and general health access. — Bayesian spatiotemporal modelling of neonatal, infant and under-5 mortality (2000–2022) in 41 Asian countries: a population-level observational study
• The persistence of high-risk clusters in Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar may reflect conflict, displacement, weak health infrastructure and uneven access to maternal and child health services. — Bayesian spatiotemporal modelling of neonatal, infant and under-5 mortality (2000–2022) in 41 Asian countries: a population-level observational study
• Hospital bed density showed an unexpected positive coefficient for under-5 mortality (beta=2.60), likely reflecting healthcare strain in high-mortality settings rather than a harmful direct effect. — Bayesian spatiotemporal modelling of neonatal, infant and under-5 mortality (2000–2022) in 41 Asian countries: a population-level observational study
