Description:

Data from the National Infant Mortality Surveillance project were used to examine the State-specific variations in infant, neonatal, and postneonatal mortality and to examine some of the factors affecting the risks of death. The infant mortality risk, defined as the risk of death before 1 year of age to an infant born in the 1980 birth cohort, in the highest risk State was nearly three times that in the lowest risk State. Mortality risk ratios of two or greater were found when comparing high and low States for overall black infant mortality risks, overall neonatal mortality, neonatal mortality risks for black and white infants examined separately, neonatal mortality risks for low birth weight infants regardless of race, and overall postneonatal mortality and postneonatal mortality for white infants. The lowest State-specific black mortality risks were higher than the highest white risks for overall infant mortality and neonatal mortality. The differences between State extremes in mortality risks are greater than the differences between the United States and the Scandinavian countries with the lowest infant mortality.
