EARLY NEONATAL MORTALITY

[摘要] The United States has had a substantial decline in infant mortality rates. Mortality rates for low birth weight infants remained fairly stable prior to 1965, but have "decreased sharply" since then. The decrease in mortality among these infants accounted for more than half of the overall fall. The most likely explanation is the development and proliferation of medical technology for management of the low birth weight infant.Comment: Nice to hear some good news of what we are doing well. Regionalization and intensive care do make a difference.
