Abstract:

Geographic and temporal variations in infant mortality support the process of planning and evaluating maternal and child health. A time series study that aimed to analyze the trend of infant mortality in Mato Grosso and health regions2007 to 2016 and to identify the distribution of causes of death according to age group and birth weight. For the trend analysis, the infant mortality rates stratified by causes of death, between 2007 and 2016, were evaluated using polynomial regression models. There was a decreasing linear trend in infant mortality rates in the state, but individually, only four of the 16 health regions followed this trend. Half of the deaths occurred in the early neonatal period. Reduced causes for adequate attention to women in gestation and delivery and to the newborn represented 51.1% of deaths. There was an increasing tendency of proportional mortality for causes not clearly avoidable. It is understood that it is important to know the trend of rates in order to define priority populations for early interventions that increase survival and reduce infant mortality. In addition, the death investigation in the state should be implemented to qualify the underlying cause.
