Key Points

To evaluate temporal trends and demographic disparities across specific causes of infant mortality, particularly sudden unexpected infant death, over a 24-year period.
Conducted a cross-sectional study analyzing infant mortality records from 1999 through 2022.
Assessed temporal variations and stratified outcomes by specific causes of infant death and demographic subgroups.
Demonstrated marked changes in temporal trends for individual causes of infant death over the 24-year surveillance period.
Identified substantial and enduring disparities across demographic groups in rates of sudden unexpected infant death.

Implication

Cross-sectional study reveals long-term trends and disparities in cause-specific mortality among infants, highlighting persistent inequities in sudden unexpected infant death.
