Resumo
This article focused on risk factors for neonatal and post-neonatal mortality by linking
live births and infant death records. The study was conducted in the municipality of Goiânia,
in the Central-West region of Brazil. A total of 20,981 live births and 342 infant deaths constitute
the retrospective cohort. Neonatal and post-neonatal mortality risks were estimated in
this cohort study of live births by logistic regression. In the neonatal period, the highest ORs were
for delivery in public hospitals (OR = 2.28; 95% CI 1.57-3.32), pre-term neonates (OR = 8.94; 95%
CI 5.85-13.67), and low birth weight (OR = 8.92; 95% CI 5.77-13.79). Cesarean delivery appeared
as a protective factor (OR = 0.58; 95% CI 0.43-0.78). For post-neonatal mortality, the highest ORs
were for illiterate mothers (OR = 6.25; 95% CI 1.25-31.27), low birth weight (OR = 3.12; 95% CI
1.67-5.84), and delivery in public hospitals (OR = 2.65; 95% CI 1.13-6.23). The linkage identified
socioeconomic variables that were more important risk factors for post-neonatal than neonatal
mortality.
