    Summary

    Postneonatal mortality risk factors have shifted, with sudden infant death syndrome remaining a leading cause. Environmental and socioeconomic factors continue to influence infant survival rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Previous studies (1978, 1981) linked postneonatal mortality to environmental conditions.
    • Significant environmental changes have occurred since earlier investigations.
    • This study updates understanding of current postneonatal death risk factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify contemporary factors associated with increased postneonatal mortality risk.
    • To compare current risk factors with those identified in earlier studies.
    • To analyze the impact of residence, socioeconomic status, and maternal/infant characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case-control study design.
    • 107 cases and 422 controls, matched for date of birth.
    • Analysis of residence, social class, maternal age, sex, birthweight, legitimacy, and siblings.

    Main Results:

    • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) accounted for 58% of deaths.
    • Prematurity-related deaths emerged as a significant cause (nearly 6%).
    • Increased risk observed for males, illegitimate births, low birthweight, young mothers (≤19), and manual worker offspring. Higher mortality in urban vs. suburban areas and deprived regions. Unexpectedly low risk for infants of unemployed parents.

    Conclusions:

    • Postneonatal mortality risk factors have evolved, with SIDS and prematurity-related deaths being prominent.
    • Socioeconomic status, birth characteristics, and geographic location remain critical determinants of infant mortality.
    • Targeted interventions in deprived urban areas and support for young mothers are crucial for reducing postneonatal deaths.
