Infant mortality continues to be a major public health issue in the United States. Although some preventive strategies for neonatal mortality are emerging for congenital malformations, notably neural tube defects, the prevention of preterm deliveries among disadvantaged populations remains elusive, suggesting the need for different approaches to women ...

Abstract This paper is about infant mortality. In line with reliability theory, “infant” refers to the time interval following birth during which the mortality (or failure) rate decreases. This definition provides a systems science perspective in which birth constitutes a sudden transition falling within the field of application of the Transient ...

Racial disparity in infant mortality.
Seminars in Perinatology, 2017In the United States, African-American infants have significantly higher mortality than white infants. Previous work has identified associations between individual socioeconomic factors and select community-level factors. In this review, the authors look

IN RECENT years much has been done to lower the mortality rate of children. Today fewer children die of infection and other preventable disease than in the past. The rate of deaths due to prematurity has remained high, however, and has not kept pace with the general downward trend in infant death rates.

The contribution of low birth weight to infant mortality and childhood morbidity.
New England Journal of Medicine, 1985The low-birth-weight infant remains at much higher risk of mortality than the infant with normal weight at birth. In the neonatal period, when most infant deaths occur, the proportion of low-birth-weight infants, especially those with very low weight, is

In this issue ofAJDC, Alo et al1report their efforts to determine the causes of the high mortality rate of black infants in the United States. They matched birth and death certificates and found that the causes of the high infant mortality rate from 1980 to 1989 among blacks in Illinois fell into three categories: complications of preterm birth ...
