- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the prevalence and the causes of neonatal mortality in Brazil. Method: cross-sectional study of neonatal deaths that occurred between 2010 and 2019. Data obtained from the Live Birth Information System and the Mortality Information System. The analysis was performed using absolute and relative frequencies. Results: analyzing the prevalence of neonatal mortality in Brazil was clear that there is a diversification of the coefficient in different regions. Although there was a reduction in the evaluated period, fluctuations are noticed, with higher coefficients for the Northeast region. The largest proportion of deaths occurs from perinatal causes, which in most cases could be avoided. Conclusion: the study allowed observing that despite advances in prenatal and neonatal care, significant coefficients of neonatal mortality still prevail and perinatal and congenital malformations are the main causes. Furthermore, the data allow indicating the regions with higher proportions, enabling a more effective regional planning.
