Poverty and smoking in pregnancy are two of many factors cited by experts.
The analysis by US experts shows the UK rate is still low by global standards.
The analysis of data on 188 countries was carried out by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA.
It showed that the UK had worse rates than nearly every other western European nation for early neonatal deaths - between zero and six days, post-neonatal deaths (death between 29 and 364 days), and for childhood deaths (death between one and four years).
The UK's rate is comparable with Serbia and Poland.
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Israel, the Netherlands and Switzerland all had rates between 4 and 4.6 deaths per 1,000 children aged under five,
