| Factor | African American–white disparity in postneonatal mortality rate due to CHD |
| Description | In multivariable logistic regression models, the adjusted OR of postneonatal and neonatal mortality due to CHD for African-American mothers compared with white mothers was 1.20 (95% CI, 0.98-1.48) and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.77-1.19), respectively. |
| Biomarker | NA |

| Application | prognosis and risk assessment |
| Objective | Compare the mortality rate in the postneonatal period and the neonatal period. |
| OR | 1.2 |
| 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. |
