Puntos clave

This research aims to evaluate how interventions and climate factors affect malaria mortality in children under five.
Analysis of two decades of data from the Health Demographic Surveillance System in Nouna, Burkina Faso.
Comparison of the effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets (ITN) and climatic factors like temperature and rainfall on malaria mortality.
Assessment of seasonal mortality patterns in relation to climatic variables.
ITN intervention demonstrated a stronger reduction in malaria mortality compared to temperature effects.
Rainfall was found to increase malaria mortality more significantly than temperature influenced it.
Seasonal mortality patterns showed a greater correlation with rainfall than with temperature.

Resumen

We found that ITN was more effective in reducing malaria mortality than temperature, but rainfall had a greater opposing impact on increasing malaria mortality. The seasonal mortality pattern was more influenced by rainfall than by temperature. Varying climatic lag times highlight the need for adaptive strategies. Policymakers should focus on climate-informed planning, sustained ITN coverage, and reassessment of ACT strategies to further reduce malaria mortality.
