a The number of deaths for infant mortality is based on a record weight from the linked birth and infant death file which adjusts for the approximately 2-3% of records each year which cannot be linked to their corresponding birth certificates.Therefore, because of number rounding, the number of deaths for sub-groups may not add to the total.
* Data do not meet the criteria for statistical reliability, data quality, or confidentiality (based on < 20 deaths).
