The National Center for Health Statistics linked birth and death records for U.S. infants provides the first opportunity to assess the demographic, socioeconomic and prenatal risk factors associated with deaths due to injuries in infants less than one year of age. U.S. studies of childhood deaths have been limited to the extremely sparse information available on standard death certificates. Both descriptive and risk factor analysis of infant deaths for 1983-1991 are being prepared for publication. Deaths due to homicide, the leading cause of injury death in infancy, are being examined separately to identify infants to be targeted for special interventions to prevent these deaths. Of particular interest is a recent methodological analysis of infant injury deaths that are classified as "undetermined intent." By evaluating risk factor profiles of such injuries, it may be possible to classify these injuries as likely intentional or likely unintentional. This study has enormous public health implications, as such injuries could increase death rates from homicide in the less than one year age group by 10-15% in the U.S.

国家卫生统计中心将出生和死亡记录联系起来， 为美国婴儿提供了第一次评估 人口统计学、社会经济学和产前风险因素 一岁以下婴儿因受伤而死亡。 美国 对儿童死亡的研究一直局限于极其稀少的 标准死亡证明上的信息。 两个描述性 1983-1991年婴儿死亡的危险因素分析， 准备出版。 因杀人而死亡的人数， 婴儿期的伤害死亡，正在分别进行检查，以确定 婴儿应成为预防这些死亡的特别干预措施的目标。 特别令人感兴趣的是最近对婴儿的方法学分析， 被归类为“未确定意图”的伤害死亡。“由 评估这些伤害的风险因素概况， 将这些伤害分为可能是故意的或可能是无意的。 这项研究具有巨大的公共卫生意义，因为这种伤害 可能会增加不到一年的杀人死亡率 在美国，10-15%。
