[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST mAQiMR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study assessed long-term trends in US childhood infectious disease mortality rates (CIDMR). Methods. We calculated age-adjused and age group-specific US CIDMR (1968-1996) by using data from the Compressed Mortality File (1968-1992,1996) and Multiple Cause of Death Files (1993-1995) of the National Center for Health Statistics and English data for historical comparison (1861-1964). Results. US CIDMR declined continuously from 1968 to 1996, although the rate of decline slowed after 1974. Respiratory and central nervous system categories declined most ; HIV-related deaths offset these declines somewhate. Conclusions. CIDMR declined nearly 200-fold between 1861 and 1996, but no substantive improvement occurred after 1986.
