AB  - A  newborn  infant  is  dying  or  has  just  died.  Even  though  the  overall  infant  mortality  rate  in  the  United  States  has  improved,  >23,000  infants  die  each  year,  with  >15,000  dying  in  the  neonatal  intensive  care  unit  (NICU).  The  mortality  rate  in  the  United  States  for  newborns  is  5.82  per  1000  live  births.  The  leading  causes  of  infant  death  are  shown  in  Table  57–1,  with  the  top  5  being  birth  defects/congenital  malformations,  preterm  birth  and  low  birthweight,  sudden  infant  death  syndrome  (SIDS),  maternal  pregnancy  complications,  and  infant  accidents  (unintentional  injuries).
