  abstract = {{B}ackground: {M}alaria continues to be a major cause of infectious disease mortality in tropical regions. {H}owever, deaths from malaria are most often not individually documented, and as a result overall understanding of malaria epidemiology is inadequate. {INDEPTH} {N}etwork members maintain population surveillance in {H}ealth and {D}emographic {S}urveillance {S}ystem sites across {A}frica and {A}sia, in which individual deaths are followed up with verbal autopsies. {O}bjective: {T}o present patterns of malaria mortality determined by verbal autopsy from {INDEPTH} sites across {A}frica and {A}sia, comparing these findings with other relevant information on malaria in the same regions. {D}esign: {F}rom a database covering 111,910 deaths over 12,204,043 person-years in 22 sites, in which verbal autopsy data were handled according to the {WHO} 2012 standard and processed using the {I}nter{VA}-4 model, over 6,000 deaths were attributed to malaria. {T}he overall period covered was 1992–2012, but two-thirds of the observations related to 2006–2012. {T}hese deaths were analysed by site, time period, age group and sex to investigate epidemiological differences in malaria mortality. {R}esults: {R}ates of malaria mortality varied by 1:10,000 across the sites, with generally low rates in {A}sia (one site recording no malaria deaths over 0.5 million person-years) and some of the highest rates in {W}est {A}frica ({N}ouna, {B}urkina {F}aso: 2.47 per 1,000 person-years). {C}hildhood malaria mortality rates were strongly correlated with {M}alaria {A}tlas {P}roject estimates of {P}lasmodium falciparum parasite rates for the same locations. {A}dult malaria mortality rates, while lower than corresponding childhood rates, were strongly correlated with childhood rates at the site level. {C}onclusions: {T}he wide variations observed in malaria mortality, which were nevertheless consistent with various other estimates, suggest that population-based registration of deaths using verbal autopsy is a useful approach to understanding the details of malaria epidemiology.},
