A related thought, to the extent that more early and low birth-weight American babies are recorded as live births it not only affects the stats for infant mortality, but it also makes the US's state for life expectancy seem worse relative to other countries. Averaging in babies that die 2 days from birth has an impact on life expectancy compared to not counting them at all.
