About The Study: This population-based cohort study found that U.S.-born individuals had significantly higher odds of infant mortality compared with non–U.S.-born individuals, particularly among full-term births and among those self-identifying as Black, Hispanic, white, or more than 1 race. Sudden unexpected infant death was a major contributor to these disparities. Investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these disparities is needed.
