| Factor | Infant mortality rate for CHD in different ethnic |
| Description | The infant mortality rate due to CHD for African-American infants (296 deaths; 3.78 per 10 000 live births) exceeded that of white infants (1025 deaths; 2.78 per 10 000 live births) (relative risk [RR], 1.36; 95% CI, 1.20-1.55). |

| Objective | Compare the infant mortality rate between different races |
| OR | 1.36 |
| Conclusion | The racial disparity in infant mortality rate due to CHD among term infants with US-born mothers is driven predominately by the postneonatal survival disadvantage of African-American infants. Commonly cited individuallevel risk factors partly explain this phenomenon. The study is limited by the lack of information on neighborhood factors. |
