Southern Asia had a neonatal mortality rate of 57 out of 1,000 live births in the year 1990, compared to a rate of 22 per 1,000 in the year 2022. The statistic shows the neonatal mortality rate worldwide from 1990 to 2022, by region.

This statistic shows the percentage changes in selected causes of death due to diseases in the United States, between 2000 and 2022. The number of deaths caused by prostate cancer increased by 7.4 percent during this period. Changes in selected causes of deathThere has been a decrease in the rate of death caused by many diseases, including stroke and heart disease. However, the mortality rate due to Alzheimer’s disease increased by 142 percent from 2000 to 2022. Alzheimer’s disease caused 27.7 deaths per 100,000 population in 2023, making it the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Mortality rates due to different diseases vary by different factors, including race and ethnicity. For example, cancer is the leading cause of death among Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States, accounting for 22 percent of total deaths among this population, while heart disease is the leading cause of death among the white population. Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for around nine million deaths in 2021. In the early 1900's, the mortality rate was primarily concentrated among people of younger ages, but increasingly, this has shifted to older population groups. In recent years, decreased mortality rates are often linked to improved medical care, such as new developments in medical technologies. Shifts in lifestyle habits such as decreased smoking rates and healthier diets may also attribute to lower mortality rates.

It was estimated that around 6 percent of males and 4.8 percent of females who had COVID-19 in the United States from January 22 to May 30, 2020 died from the disease. Deaths due to COVID-19 are much higher among those with underlying health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, or diabetes. This statistic shows the percentage of people in the U.S. who had COVID-19 from January 22 to May 30, 2020 who died, by gender.

The Czechia: Infant deaths per 1000 live births: The latest value from 2022 is 2 deaths per 1000 live births, unchanged from 2 deaths per 1000 live births in 2021. In comparison, the world average is 19 deaths per 1000 live births, based on data from 187 countries. Historically, the average for the Czechia from 1960 to 2022 is 11 deaths per 1000 live births. The minimum value, 2 deaths per 1000 live births, was reached in 2019 while the maximum of 22 deaths per 1000 live births was recorded in 1967.

In 2023, the infant mortality rate in India was at about 24.5 deaths per 1,000 live births, a significant decrease from previous years. Infant mortality as an indicatorThe infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of children under one year of age per 1,000 live births. This rate is an important key indicator for a country’s health and standard of living; a low infant mortality rate indicates a high standard of healthcare. Causes of infant mortality include premature birth, sepsis or meningitis, sudden infant death syndrome, and pneumonia. Globally, the infant mortality rate has shrunk from 63 infant deaths per 1,000 live births to 27 since 1990 and is forecast to drop to 8 infant deaths per 1,000 live births by the year 2100. India’s rural problemWith 32 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, India is neither among the countries with the highest nor among those with the lowest infant mortality rate. Its decrease indicates an increase in medical care and hygiene, as well as a decrease in female infanticide. Increasing life expectancy at birth is another indicator that shows that the living conditions of the Indian population are improving. Still, India’s inhabitants predominantly live in rural areas, where standards of living as well as access to medical care and hygiene are traditionally lower and more complicated than in cities. Public health programs are thus put in place by the government to ensure further improvement.

The infant mortality rate in Iceland, for children under the age of one year old, was 22 deaths per thousand births in 1950. This means that for all babies born between 1950 and 1955, over two percent percent did not survive past their first birthday. This rate decreased gradually over the next seventy years. Today, Iceland has the lowest infant mortality rate in the world, where approximately 99.9% of all babies born in the country make it past their first birthday.

Note: DPH is updating and streamlining the COVID-19 cases, deaths, and testing data. As of 6/27/2022, the data will be published in four tables instead of twelve.

The COVID-19 Cases, Deaths, and Tests by Day dataset contains cases and test data by date of sample submission. The death data are by date of death. This dataset is updated daily and contains information back to the beginning of the pandemic.

Count of COVID-19-associated deaths by date of death. Deaths reported to either the OCME or DPH are included in the COVID-19 data. COVID-19-associated deaths include persons who tested positive for COVID-19 around the time of death and persons who were not tested for COVID-19 whose death certificate lists COVID-19 disease as a cause of death or a significant condition contributing to death.

Data on Connecticut deaths were obtained from the Connecticut Deaths Registry maintained by the DPH Office of Vital Records. Cause of death was determined by a death certifier (e.g., physician, APRN, medical examiner) using their best clinical judgment. Additionally, all COVID-19 deaths, including suspected or related, are required to be reported to OCME. On April 4, 2020, CT DPH and OCME released a joint memo to providers and facilities within Connecticut providing guidelines for certifying deaths due to COVID-19 that were consistent with the CDC’s guidelines and a reminder of the required reporting to OCME.25,26 As of July 1, 2021, OCME had reviewed every case reported and performed additional investigation on about one-third of reported deaths to better ascertain if COVID-19 did or did not cause or contribute to the death. Some of these investigations resulted in the OCME performing postmortem swabs for PCR testing on individuals whose deaths were suspected to be due to COVID-19, but antemortem diagnosis was unable to be made.31 The OCME issued or re-issued about 10% of COVID-19 death certificates and, when appropriate, removed COVID-19 from the death certificate. For standardization and tabulation of mortality statistics, written cause of death statements made by the certifiers on death certificates are sent to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) at the CDC which assigns cause of death codes according to the International Causes of Disease 10th Revision (ICD-10) classification system.25,26 COVID-19 deaths in this report are defined as those for which the death certificate has an ICD-10 code of U07.1 as either a primary (underlying) or a contributing cause of death.

Note the counts in this dataset may vary from the death counts in the other COVID-19-related datasets published on data.ct.gov, where deaths are counted on the date reported rather than the date of death.

Starting in July 2020, this dataset will be updated every weekday. Data are subject to future revision as reporting changes.

The number of infant deaths in Poland in the observed period has maintained a decreasing trend. The lowest number of infant deaths occurred in women under 22 weeks of pregnancy and over 42 in 2023. The highest infant mortality occurred in women between 22 and 27 weeks of pregnancy.

The infant mortality rate in Finland, for children under the age of one year old, was over 222 deaths per thousand births in 1870. This means that for all babies born in 1870, over 22 percent did not survive past their first birthday. This rate generally decreased over the next century and a half, with the only spikes recorded in the late 1910s, as a result of the Spanish Flu pandemic that spread across the globe. Nowadays, Finland has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world, with just two deaths per thousand births in 2020.
