Rates of infant mortality by sex for selected causes of death. This is based on death rates per 100,000 for infants less than one year old. This is given for a range of leading causes of death for comparison between infant mortality rates in males and females.
For conciseness and clarity, we have shortened a few of the original IHME causes of death:
Congenital birth defects = Birth defects
Congenital heart anomalies = Heart anomalies
Digestive congenital anomalies = Digestive anomalies
Neonatal encephalopathy due to birth asphyxia and trauma = Encephalopathy from asphyxia and trauma
Neonatal preterm birth = Preterm birth
