With all of the resources that the united states has, why is it that we have the highest mortality rate of infants?.

Respuesta :

The two main reasons for the higher U.S. mortality are :

  • congenital malformations, which patients cannot really do much about other than ensuring adequate screening during pregnancy.
  • high risk of sudden unexpected deaths in infancy, which should largely be preventable through appropriate sleeping arrangements.

What is mortality?

It is measurement of the number of fatalities (generally speaking, or deaths due to a particular cause) in a given population, scaled to that population's size, per unit of time.

What is congenital malformation?

  • A structural or functional abnormality that develops during intrauterine life is known as a congenital anomaly.
