Abstract: (294 Views)
Background and Objectives: Providing, maintaining, and improving the health level of children under 5 years old is important. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the trend and main causes of death of children under the age of five years in Guilan Province.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 343 of children under 5 years old in Guilan University of Medical Sciences have been investigated in 2018 to 2022. The demographic information of the child and parents and the cause of death were collected. The data was reported descriptively (percentage and frequency).
Results: The highest frequency of deaths of children under 5 years old was in 191 male children (55.6%). The highest age frequency of death was children under one year, 177 children (51.6%). Two hundred and eighteen children (63.5%) lived in the city, 124 children (35%) lived in the village, and 1 child (1.5%) was nomad. The most common causes of death were congenital disorders, 62 cases (18%).
Conclusion: A significant number of children's deaths were due to congenital disorders. Perhaps it can be said that it is caused by mothers' lack of knowledge about screening tests to prevent congenital disorders. It is also recommended to increase hospital equipment and facilities.
Keywords: Mortality, Children under 5 years old, Health status, Guilan Province
Funding: This study did not have any funds.
Conflict of interest: None declared.
Ethical considerations: The Ethics Committee of Guilan University of Medical Sciences approved the study (IR.GUMS.REC.1402.205).
