Abstract

Background and objectives: Almost 130 million INFANTs are born each year, more than 8 million of whom die before their first year of life. In the developing countries, two thirds of these deaths occur in the first month of their life. Reduced INFANT MORTALITY is among the Millennium Development indicators, and this rate is high in Kalaleh city. This study aimed to identify the most common causes of INFANT death, so that the avoidable deaths be prevented by offering intervention plans.Methods: In this study, all causes of INFANT death in Kalaleh city during 2003-2013 were investigated. The information was collected with the designed form. The data were, then, coded and entered into the SPSS 17 software, and analyzed using independent statistical chi-square test.Results: 388 INFANT deaths accounted for 83% of under-5 MORTALITY. The most common causes of death include prematurity (47.42%), congenital abnormalities (22.42%), and disasters and accidents (9.79%). 82.73% of the INFANTs weighed below 2500 g. 60% of the prematurity deaths occurred to primigravid women. There was a statistically significant relationship between primigravity and prematurity INFANT death with a 95% confidence (P=0.003). 74.74% of the INFANT deaths occurred in the first week, and 58.96% in the first 24 hours.Conclusion: As 38.4% of the INFANT deaths occurred in the first pregnancy, and 60% of prematurity deaths happened to primigravid women, and there was a relationship between primigravity and prematurity INFANT deaths, the importance of the particular care of these mothers comes into sight. Planning for teaching the importance of caring the primigravid mothers and making their families more sensitive about the significance of caring these mothers can be effective in reducing PREMATURE INFANT MORTALITY.
