U.S. infant mortality is analyzed for the 1985 birth cohort by birthweight, mother's age, prenatal care, and other characteristics. The effect of cohort and period on race-specific infant mortality rates is analyzed. The report also discusses the history of linked birth and infant death files in the Public Health Service and provides a detailed description of the methodology for creating linked files at the National Center for Health Statistics."
