Methods We analyzed the mortality rate, causes of deaths and places of deaths based on death report cards of children under 5 years old in Jining city in 2007-2016, and then assessed the potential years of life lost and the early death index. Results A total of 4,930 children under 5 years old died in Jining city from 2007 to 2016, with a mortality rate of 4.58‰. Neonates accounted for 54.81% of all deaths among children under 5 years old.
