Table 1. Relative odds of cause-specific full-term infant mortality in states with poor FTIMR relative to states with good FTIMR.

Cause of death	Unadjusted odds		Adjusted odds
	Model 1		Model 2		Model 3
	Odds ratio	95% CI	Odds ratio	95% CI	Odds ratio	95% CI
Congenital malformations	1.51**	1.24, 1.85	1.43**	1.28, 1.59	1.37**	1.19, 1.58
Perinatal conditions	1.35**	1.17, 1.56	1.19	1.01, 1.42	1.16	0.97, 1.38
SUDI	2.75**	2.46, 3.07	1.73**	1.51, 1.98	1.70**	1.48, 1.94
Other causes	1.58**	1.37, 1.82	1.40**	1.16, 1.67	1.37**	1.15, 1.64

Table shows relative odds of cause-specific mortality in states with overall poor FTIMR compared to states classified with good FTIMR. The states classified as having good FTIMR include CA, CT, HI, MA, MD, NH, NJ, NV, NY, and VT (total births 2,885,191; total deaths 4,589), and the states classified as having poor FTIMR include AL, AR, DE, KY, LA, ME, MS, OH, OK, SD, TN, WY, and WV (total births 1,476,604; total deaths 4,551). Model 2 adjusts for maternal characteristics including mother’s age, education, race, and health status (smoking behavior, diabetes, chronic hypertension, and eclampsia). Model 3 adjusts for maternal characteristics and birth characteristics including gestational age, infant sex, birth weight, and multiple birth.
