Infant mortality declined to a level never before recorded in the United States, according to new preliminary data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although it remains higher than in some other countries.
Just 5.36 infants per 1,000 live births died, according to the data. That was down from 5.54 in 2024 and 5.63 in 2023.
