Summary
MORDOR was a cluster-randomized placebo controlled trial that assessed the efficacy of mass azithromycin distributions for the prevention of childhood mortality. All communities were subsequently treated with mass azithromycin for one year. The present trial re-randomized communities to azithromycin or placebo for the fourth and fifth year of the study.
