          Abstract

          La mortalidad neonatal precoz es un componente de gran importancia dentro del indicador mortalidad infantil, porque constituye más del 50 % de las defunciones en el menor de 1 año. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo y longitudinal con el objetivo de caracterizar el comportamiento de la mortalidad neonatal precoz en el municipio Guanabacoa, desde el 1º de Enero de 2000 al 30 de Junio de 2005. Se estudió una muestra de 48 defunciones a través de variables maternas y del recién nacido, cuyos datos fueron obtenidos de la revisión de registros médicos de defunción e historias clínicas. Se encontró que la mortalidad neonatal precoz en el municipio es de tendencia decreciente fundamentalmente en los primeros 4 años, y las principales causas de muerte son las infecciones (17 %), la sepsis (8,3 %), la asfixia (6,3 %) y las malformaciones congénitas (6,3 %).

          Early neonatal mortality is a very important component within the infant mortality indicator, since it accounts for more than 50 % of the deaths in children under one. A descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study was conducted to characterize the behavior of early neonatal mortality in Guanabacoa municipality from January 1st, 2000 to June 30th, 2005. A sample of 48 deaths was studied through variables of the mother and of the newborn infant, whose data were obtained from the review of the medical death registries and of the medical histories. It was observed that early neonatal mortality in the municpality shows a decreasing trend, mainly in the first 4 years, and that the fundamental causes of deaths were infections (17 %), sepsis (8.3 %), asphyxia (6.3 %) and congenital malformations (6.3 %).
