Postneonatal mortality.

B Starfield

    Annual Review of Public Health
    |January 1, 1985

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Infant mortality rates are expected to decline slower in the next decade due to reaching a low point for infants over one month old and a static high rate in the first four weeks. Past reductions were driven by focusing efforts on post-neonatal infant mortality causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Public Health
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Infant mortality rates have historically declined.
    • Past reductions were achieved by targeting specific age groups within infancy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To project future trends in infant mortality rates.
    • To identify factors influencing the pace of decline in infant deaths.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of historical infant mortality data.
    • Projection modeling for the next decade.

    Main Results:

    • A slower rate of decline in infant mortality is anticipated over the next decade.
    • This is attributed to a plateau in mortality rates beyond the first month of life and a persistent high rate in the first four weeks.

  • Previous reductions were linked to focused interventions on post-neonatal causes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The pace of infant mortality reduction is likely to slow.
    • Future interventions may need to address both early and later infant mortality periods.
    • Understanding the stationary high rate in the neonatal period is crucial.
