Featured Report

Methodology

Glossary

Infant
A person under one year of age.

Neonatal Period
The time period for all infants from their date of birth through the 27th day of life.

Post-neonatal Period
The time period for all infants from the 28th day of life until the day before their first birthday.

Child
A person who has not yet reached their 18th birthday (all references to “child” in this report specify which age group/range is being discussed).

Cause of Death
Event that causes a physical problem, no matter how brief or prolonged, that leads to a child’s death.

Manner of Death
Description of circumstances under which a child died, for which there are five categories:

  1. Natural – the death is a consequence of natural disease.
  2. Accident – unintended and essentially unavoidable death, not by a natural, suicidal, or homicidal manner.
  3. Suicide – death caused by self, with some degree of conscious intent.
  4. Homicide – death caused by another human.
  5. Undetermined – not enough evidence, yet or ever, to determine the manner of death.

Prematurity
Any birth that occurs before 37 completed weeks of gestation.

Sleep-related Deaths
Affects infants under the age of one year and occurs while sleeping. They can be classified as these three types:

  1. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
    A sudden, unexplained death of an infant less than one-year-old. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that after an extensive review of the infant’s medical history, a complete autopsy, and a death scene investigation, no cause can be identified.
  2. Accidental Suffocation
    A result of another person lying on the baby, wedging of the baby, or the baby’s face in a soft surface such as a pillow, blanket, or bumper pad.
  3. Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID)/Undetermined
    Ruled as the cause of death when an exact reason cannot be found, but the scene investigation indicates that there were dangers in the baby’s sleep area.

All Other Races
A person who does not have ancestry in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or Africa. This includes people who indicate their race is not “white” or “black,” such as American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, as well as ethnicities such as Hispanic.

Black
A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. This includes people who self-report their race as “Black” on demographic documents.

Hispanic
A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.

White
A person having ancestry in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. This includes people who self-report their race as “White” on demographic documents.

Rate
Measure that indicates how often an event is occurring during a certain time period. It is calculated by taking the count of an event during a specific time period and dividing this number by the population that is at risk for experiencing the event during the time period. Rates are often expressed in units of 10, such as per 100, per 1,000, or per 100,000.

Example – The infant mortality rate (IMR) is expressed as the number of deaths that occurred among infants from one to 364 days old who were born alive during a given year, divided by the number of live births that occurred in the same year, multiplied by 1,000.

Ratio
Comparison made between two things; the fraction formed by the division of one amount by another. Example: The population of Anytown, USA, was 100,000. It had 40,000 dwelling units. The ratio of people to dwelling units was 2.5 (100,000 divided by 40,000 equals 2.5).

Trend
The general direction in which data are headed over a period of time. It often is demonstrated by placing a line in a chart. There needs to be a minimum of two data points to start a trend line, but as a general rule, most researchers prefer a minimum of six data points to predict a trend.

Disparity
Term used to describe a difference between two groups. Example: If the White infant mortality rate (IMR) was lower than the Black IMR, a racial disparity exists because one racial group (Black) has a higher rate of infant deaths compared to another racial group (White).

Equity
Fair and just distribution of resources and opportunities in order to ensure the possibility for similar outcomes for residents within the community.

First Ring Suburbs of Cleveland
Municipalities whose borders touch some portion of the city of Cleveland.

Outer Ring Suburbs of Cleveland
Municipalities whose borders do not touch some portion of the city of Cleveland.
