US infant mortality rate rises for first time in more than 20 years
- The US saw a 3% increase in infant mortality rates from 2021 to 2022, the first rise in over 20 years. This rise was observed in both neonatal and post-neonatal infants.
- Infant deaths due to maternal complications and bacterial sepsis increased by 8% and 14% respectively. The rise in mortality rates was particularly significant among American Indian, Alaska Native, and White infants.
- Limited access to healthcare for those in poverty and certain racial/ethnic groups may contribute to poorer outcomes for mothers and babies. Healthcare policies need to focus on accessibility to prevent late and severe complications. Racism and marginalization may also impact health outcomes and contribute to racial disparities in infant health.
