Around 65% of deaths in children under one year of age is related to the infancy period and undoubtedly the first step in promoting this index is to identify the causes of mortality at this period of life. The present study was conducted to determine the incidence rate and causes of infant mortality in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd/ Iran. Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was performed on 243 infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of a selected educational hospital in Yazd from 21st March 2006 to 21st March 2007. A checklist was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Chi-square tests and through SPSS 19. Results: From 243 studied infants, 39 ones (16.4%) died. Prematurity was the first cause of neonatal death (56.4%) followed by cardiac arrest (47.5%). Neonatal death showed significant reverse relationship with infant’s weight and age at admission and maternal gestational age (P =<0.0001). Conclusion: Mother and child care should be given more importance in health programs and policies and measures should be taken to prevent the probable factors affecting infant death.
