Resident live births.
Number of infant deaths within the first year.
The baseline data for this measure come from the period-linked birth and infant death data set (linked file). In the linked file, the information from the death certificate is linked to information on the birth certificate for each infant under 1 year who died during the calendar year. The purpose of linkage is to use the many variables and improve racial/ethnic reporting available from the birth certificate.
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 that cannot be linked to their corresponding birth certificates. Therefore, because of number rounding, the number of deaths for subgroups may not add up to the total.
