Excerpt from Infant Mortality in Pittsburgh: An Analysis of Records for 1920 With Six Charts Pittsburgh lost more babies in 1920 in proportion to its births than any other of the large American cities for which reliable records are available. Its wastage of young life for the year exceeded that of 17 cities of more than population in the birth registration area. The measurement of this loss by an infant mortality rate - the number of deaths of infants under 1 year of age per born alive - shows that for every babies born in Pittsburgh in 1920, 110 failed to survive throughout the year. Approximately, this means a loss during infancy of 1 life out of every 9. For the same year, Boston had 1 infant death to 10 births; Philadelphia, 1 to 11; New York, 1 to 12, and Seattle but 1 baby death for 18 births - a rate twice as favorable as that for Pittsburgh.
