Infant Mortality Rate by Maternal Race/Ethnicity for New York City, 2007-2016 Counts of infant deaths (age <1 year) are based on NYC death certificates. The rate is calculated using the counts of infant deaths as the numerator and the count of live births from NYC birth certificates as the denominator.

Survey variables needed to calculate fertility and childhood mortality rates.

The infant mortality rate in Finland has generally decreased over the last ten years. In 2015, the infant mortality rate was 1.7 deaths per thousand live births, which was the lowest figure ever recorded in the country. The infant mortality rate fluctuated in the years that followed, amounting to 1.8 per thousand live births in 2023.

All birth data by race before 1980 are based on race of the child; starting in 1980, birth data by race are based on race of the mother. Birth data are used to calculate infant mortality rate. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data-visualization/mortality-trends/

The number of deaths of children under the age of five. The data is sorted by both sex and total and includes a range of values from 1955 to 2019. A birth-week cohort method is used to calculate the absolute number of deaths among neonates, infants, and children under age 5. First, each annual birth cohort is divided into 52 equal birth-week cohorts. Then each birth-week cohort is exposed throughout the first five years of life to the appropriate calendar year- and age-specific mortality rates depending on cohort age. All deaths from birth-week cohorts occurring as a result of exposure to the mortality rate for a given calendar year are allocated to that year and are summed by age group at death to get the total number of deaths for a given year and age group. The annual estimate of the number of live births in each country comes from the World Population Prospects. This data is sourced from the UN Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation. The UN IGME uses the same estimation method across all countries to arrive at a smooth trend curve of age-specific mortality rates. The estimates are based on high quality nationally representative data including statistics from civil registration systems, results from household surveys, and censuses. The child mortality estimates are produced in conjunction with national level agencies such as a country’s Ministry of Health, National Statistics Office, or other relevant agencies.

This dataset includes counts of infant births and deaths within Austin city limits by year. The counts are calculated into an infant mortality rate for each year. Both infant deaths and infant births are reported through the Office of Vital Records.

14,5 (Deaths per 1,000 live births) in 2015. The infant mortality rate is calculated as the sum of two components, the first of which - the ratio of the number of deaths before the age of one year from the generation born in the year for which the calculated ratio to the total number of births in the same year, and the second - the ratio of the number of deaths at age up to one year from the generation born in the previous year to the total number of births in the previous year

7.7 (Deaths per 1,000 live births) in 2015. The infant mortality rate is calculated as the sum of two components, the first of which - the ratio of the number of deaths before the age of one year from the generation born in the year for which the calculated ratio to the total number of births in the same year, and the second - the ratio of the number of deaths at age up to one year from the generation born in the previous year to the total number of births in the previous year

7.0 (Deaths per 1,000 live births) in 2015. The infant mortality rate is calculated as the sum of two components, the first of which - the ratio of the number of deaths before the age of one year from the generation born in the year for which the calculated ratio to the total number of births in the same year, and the second - the ratio of the number of deaths at age up to one year from the generation born in the previous year to the total number of births in the previous year

Fetal mortality occurs after 20 weeks of gestation and before labor. Infant mortality occurs before the first year of age and is a sum of Neonatal (the first 28 days after birth) and Postneonatal (from 28 days up to 1 year) mortality. Rates are calculated per every 1000 births; rates are not available for disaggregated race/ethnicities. Fetal and infant mortality values are available for given race/ethnicities. Connecticut Department of Public Health collects and reports data annually. CTData.org carries 1-, 3- and 5-Year aggregations.

The Global Subnational Infant Mortality Rates, Version 2.01 consist of Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) estimates for 234 countries and territories, 143 of which include subnational Units. The data are benchmarked to the year 2015 (Version 1 was benchmarked to the year 2000), and are drawn from national offices, Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), and other sources from 2006 to 2014. In addition to Infant Mortality Rates, Version 2.01 includes crude estimates of births and infant deaths, which could be aggregated or disaggregated to different geographies to calculate infant mortality rates at different scales or resolutions, where births are the rate denominator and infant deaths are the rate numerator. Boundary inputs are derived primarily from the Gridded Population of the World, Version 4 (GPWv4) data collection. National and subnational data are mapped to grid cells at a spatial resolution of 30 arc-seconds (~1 km) (Version 1 has a spatial resolution of 1/4 degree, ~28 km at the equator), allowing for easy integration with demographic, environmental, and other spatial data.

The infant mortality rate in the United Kingdom, for children under the age of one (twelve months), was 31.7 deaths per thousand births in 1950. Approximately 3.2 percent of children born in 1950 did not survive past their first birthday. Over the course of the next 70 years, this number has dropped significantly. It amounted to just four deaths per thousand births in the period between 2015 and 2020, the lowest figure recorded.

7.3 (Deaths per 1,000 live births) in 2015. The infant mortality rate is calculated as the sum of two components, the first of which - the ratio of the number of deaths before the age of one year from the generation born in the year for which the calculated ratio to the total number of births in the same year, and the second - the ratio of the number of deaths at age up to one year from the generation born in the previous year to the total number of births in the previous year

In 1955, the infant mortality rate in North Korea was estimated to be 121 deaths per thousand live births, meaning that for every thousand children born in North Korea in this year, one eighth would not survive past their first birthday. This figure was recorded during the five year period between 1951 and 1955, which was dominated by the effects of the Korean War; following the war's end and the period of adjustment that followed, North Korea's infant mortality rate fell significantly over the next four decades. However, following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the subsequent cut off of economic aid, infant mortality in North Korea more than doubled in the 1990s. Flooding, famine and drought, exacerbated by the governments inefficient response saw infant mortality rise to 58 deaths per thousand births by the late 1990s. This figure has dropped to just 14 deaths per thousand births since the turn of the millennium, although this rate is seven times higher than that of South Korea.

The infant mortality rate is calculated as the sum of two components, the first of which - the ratio of the number of deaths before the age of one year from the generation born in the year for which the calculated ratio to the total number of births in the same year, and the second - the ratio of the number of deaths at age up to one year from the generation born in the previous year to the total number of births in the previous year
