[Infant mortality trends in countries of Central and Eastern Europe].
"After... World War II, infant mortality in countries of Central and Eastern Europe...started to diminish.  This favourable trend lasted up to the beginning of the sixties.  Later on the unfavourable evolution of infant mortality was connected with the failure in reduction of endogenous mortality, i.e. the mortality soon after the delivery. Nowadays [in some countries, such as the Czech Republic,]...the decrease continues and in [other] countries (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) the infant mortality rate has temporarily increased due to adoption of the international definition of live and still births, while in [the] majority of countries of the previous Soviet Union and former Yugoslavia...infant mortality...has increased."
