Infant mortality is a key indicator of a population's overall health and is defined as the number of infant deaths occurring within the first year of life. To characterize infant mortality in New York City, the Bureau of Vital Statistics links the mother's demographic data from the child's birth certificate to data from the death certificate and confidential medical report of death.
