Infant Mortality Rate

Introduction to Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) Calculator

The infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of deaths of infants under one year of age per 1000 live births. The IMR is an important indicator of the overall health and well-being of a population. It is calculated by dividing the number of infant deaths by the number of live births and then multiplying by 1000. The result is expressed as the number of infant deaths per 1000 live births.

Parameter usage:

• infantDeaths= number of infant deaths under one year of age
• liveBirths= number of live births

Output:

• IMR= infant mortality rate per 1000 live births

Data validation

The number of infant deaths should be non-negative, and the number of live births should be positive.

Summary

This calculator takes the number of infant deaths and live births as input and calculates the infant mortality rate per 1000 live births.
