Fig. 3: Estimated incidence across countries of ARI and diarrheal illnesses per 100 children.
From: Childhood vaccines and antibiotic use in low- and middle-income countries
a, b, We estimate country-specific incidence of ARI and antibiotic-treated ARI in children aged 24–59 months (a) and diarrhoea and antibiotic-treated diarrhoea in children aged 0–23 months (b). Points and lines indicate median estimates for an individual country together with accompanying 95% confidence intervals. Estimates are obtained from analyses of Demographic Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, comprising 944,173 children across 77 countries, as well as extrapolations based on 405 health, nutrition and population indicators for all LMICs. Points plotted in white are extrapolated from estimates based on household survey data (see Methods). Estimates for individual countries are provided in Supplementary Tables 11–13. Quantiles are obtained through 5,000 independent draws from the distribution of estimates.
