The leading causes of infant death vary by age at death but were consistent from 2005 to 2015 (1-6). Previous research shows higher infant mortality rates in rural counties compared with urban counties and differences in cause of death for individuals aged 1 year and over by urbanization level (4,5,7,8). No research, however, has examined if mortality rates from the leading causes of infant death differ by urbanization level. This report describes the mortality rates for the five leading causes of infant, neonatal, and postneonatal death in the United States across rural, small and medium urban, and large urban counties defined by maternal residence, as reported on the birth certificate for combined years 2013-2015.
婴儿死亡的主要原因因死亡年龄而异，但在2005年至2015年期间保持一致（1-6）。先前的研究表明，与城市县相比，农村县的婴儿死亡率更高，并且1岁及以上人群的死因因城市化水平而异（4,5,7,8）。然而，尚无研究探讨婴儿死亡主要原因的死亡率是否因城市化水平而异。本报告描述了2013-2015年合并年份出生证明上报告的，按母亲居住地划分的美国农村、中小城市和大城市县中婴儿、新生儿和新生儿后期死亡的五大主要原因的死亡率。
