- Abstract
Objective: To describe the occurrence of infant mortality in Teresina (PI). Methodology: Descriptive epidemiological study with secondary data extracted from DATASUS, in which the population was composed of all infant deaths of mothers who are residents of Teresina, in the period from 2005 to 2014. Results: Despite fluctuations, neonatal, post-neonatal and infant mortality coefficients declined. There was a predominance of infant deaths in mothers aged between 20 and 29 years, and with education background between 8 and 11 grade. Conclusion: There is a need to improve public policies and assistance, even though there has been a reduction in child mortality.
