Notes:
Rates are per 1,000 live births. Adding and subtracting the number shown after the ± symbol from the rate creates a confidence interval indicating that the true rate lies between the lower and upper bounds of this interval with 95 % statistical confidence.
*: A rate is not calculated
when there are fewer than 6 events, because the width of the confidence
interval would negate any usefulness for comparative purposes.
-: A dash indicates that there were either no births or no
infant deaths from this category.
