The accuracy of perinatal and infant mortality rates in most developing countries is questionable. The authors measured perinatal and infant mortality rates in rural Thailand and compared them with official statistics to assess their accuracy. All births and infant deaths in this area were investigated in a year. Corresponding official statistics were also collected. In order to understand the registration of these events, interviews with relatives of all mothers or stillbirths and infant deaths were made. The perinatal period and infant mortality rate studied were 22.0 and 23.1, respectively. The stillbirth registration rate is 100% and the infant mortality rate is 45%. All unregistered infant deaths occur when an infant dies before registering a birth. These results document the extent and nature of underdelivery of perinatal and infant mortality rates in rural areas in Thailand.

Infant mortality is the death of a baby before his first birthday. Infant mortality rate is the number of infant deaths per 1,000 births. In addition to providing us with important information on maternal and child health, infant mortality is an important indicator of societal health. In 2016, the infant mortality rate in the United States was 5.9 people per 1,000 births. (US mortality, see 2016). Healthy people provide a science-based 10 year national goal to improve the health of all Americans. One of the goals of 2020 healthy people is to reduce all infant mortality. In 2016, 23 states achieved the goal "healthy people 2020". This is 6.0 deaths per 1,000 births. Geographically, southern states in 2016 have the highest infant mortality rate. Housing prices are also high in some Midwest states

Infant mortality is the number of deaths for infants under 1 year old per 1,000 live births. This ratio is often used as an indicator of national health level. According to the CIA World Profile, the infant mortality rate of the United Nations and the world is 49.4. Due to differences in reporting, these figures may not be comparable across countries. The WHO recommendation is that all children who show signs of life should be recorded as birth. In many countries, this standard is not adhered and artificially reduces infant mortality compared to countries that comply with these standards.
