<< Joanne, The Journal Of Pediatrics, May 1991 has a USA mathematical model
for 1989 deaths. That put the infant mortality rate from formula at 4 per
1000. I don't know if that is recent enough for you. The last time I saw
USA birth numbers, I multiplied it out to 10,000 babies dying every year. >>
While I haven't seen this particular study, would the infant mortality rate
be 4/1000 TOTAL infants, or 4/1000 of infants who have died -- which would
mean that x/1000 infants who have died died from SIDS, x/1000 who died died
from car accidents, x/1000 who died died from bacterial meningitis....
4/1000 TOTAL infants seems like an awful lot to me.
