1The
total number of infant deaths and live births used in calculating the
mortality rates is derived by summation of the respective yearly numbers
presented in Table A-6 of Appendix A.
2Based on APNCU Index (Kotelchuck, M., Am J Public Health
1994;84:1414-1420).
*Figure does not meet standard of reliability or precision; based on fewer
than 20 deaths in the numerator.
**Not significant at p<0.05.
