Abstract:

Although Brazil has declined in the last decade the social, economic and health indicators, intra and inter-regional differences in infant mortality rates (IMR) persist in regions such as the state capital of Mato Grosso. Population-based study aimed to investigate factors associated with infant mortality in five cohorts of live births (LB) of mothers living in Cuiabá (MT), Brazil,2006 to 2010, through probabilistic linkage in 47.018LB. We used logistic regression through hierarchical analysis. Of the 617 infant deaths, 48% occurred in the early neonatal period. The IMR ranged14.6 to 12.0 deaths per thousand live births. Remained independently associated with death: single mothers (OR= .32); low number of prenatal visits (O =1.65); low birth weight (OR=4.83); prematurity (OR=3.05); Apgar
