Congenital anomalies account for 20.1 of deaths in infants younger than 1 year. Sudden infant death syndrome accounts for 8.2 of deaths in this age group. Respiratory distress syndrome accounts for 3.4 of deaths in this age group. Infections specific to the perinatal period account for 2.7 of deaths in this age group.
