The 2 causes of death with the largest net difference between the US and OECD18 were prematurity (RR, 2.22 [95% CI, 2.20-2.24]) and sudden unexpected infant death (RR, 2.39 [95% CI, 2.35-2.43]).

For kids aged 1 to 19 years old

Between 2007 to 2022, 1- to 19-year olds were 1.80 (95% CI, 1.80-1.80) times more likely to die in the US than in the OECD18.

The 2 causes of death with the largest net difference between the US and OECD18 were firearm-related incidents (RR, 15.34 [95% CI, 14.89-15.80]) and motor vehicle crashes (RR, 2.45 [95% CI, 2.42-2.48]).
