The U.S. infant mortality rate rose 3% last year \u2014 the largest increase in two decades, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>.<\/p>\n

White and Native American infants, infant boys and babies born at 37 weeks or earlier had significant death rate increases. The CDC’s report, published Wednesday, also noted larger increases for two of the leading causes of infant deaths<\/a> \u2014 maternal complications and bacterial meningitis.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s definitely concerning, given that it\u2019s going in the opposite direction from what it has been,” said Marie Thoma, a University of Maryland researcher who studies maternal and infant mortality.<\/p>\n

Dr. Eric Eichenwald, a Philadelphia-based neonatologist, called the new data “disturbing,” but said experts at this point can only speculate as to why a statistic that generally has been falling for decades rose sharply in 2022.<\/p>\n

RSV and flu infections rebounded last fall after two years of pandemic precautions<\/a>, filling pediatric emergency rooms across the country. “That could potentially account for some of it,” said Eichenwald, who chairs an American Academy of Pediatrics committee that writes guidelines for medical care of newborns.<\/p>\n

Infant mortality is the measure of how many babies die before they reach their first birthday. Because the number of babies born in the U.S. varies from year to year, researchers instead calculate rates to better compare infant mortality over time. The U.S. infant mortality rate has been worse than other high-income countries, which experts have attributed to poverty, inadequate prenatal care and other possibilities. But even so, the U.S. rate generally gradually improved because of medical advances and public health efforts.<\/p>\n

The national rate rose to 5.6 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 2022, up from from 5.44 per 1,000 the year before, the new report said.<\/p>\n

The increase may seem small, but it\u2019s the first statistically significant jump in the rate since the increase between 2001 and 2002, said Danielle Ely, the CDC report’s lead author. She also said researchers could not establish whether the 2022 rise was a one-year statistical blip \u2014 or the beginning of a more lasting trend.<\/p>\n

Overall in the U.S., the death rate fell 5% in 2022 \u2014 a general decrease that’s been attributed to the waning impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on people 65 and older. U.S. maternal deaths also fell last year.<\/p>\n

More than 30 states saw at least slight rises in infant mortality rates in 2022, but four states had statistically significant increases \u2014 Georgia, Iowa, Missouri and Texas.<\/p>\n

In numbers, U.S. infant deaths surpassed 20,500 in 2022 \u2014 610 more than the year before nationwide. But Georgia had 116 more<\/a> infant deaths than the year before, and Texas had 251 more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It would appear that some of the states could be having a larger impact on the (national) rate,” Ely said, adding that smaller increases elsewhere also have an effect \u2014 and that it\u2019s hard to parse out exactly what places, policies or other factors are behind the national statistic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
