Patterns of infant mortality in Oklahoma are unlike the rest of the United States. Oklahoma has a significantly higher post neonatal mortality rate than the United States, with SIDS and congenital disorders being the leading causes of death in that age group. Conversely, Oklahoma has a significantly lower neonatal mortality rate than the United States. Vital statistics information for the period 1970-1990 are examined to describe patterns of infant death in Oklahoma. Despite long-term decreasing trends in infant death, disconcerting trends were observed in 1990 suggesting that a stronger infant mortality reduction strategy is needed in Oklahoma. Potential areas for public health intervention are suggested based on Oklahoma-specific data. |
