“…In Chile and Canada, countries for which we were unable to obtain sufficient information to calculate the mortality rates, suffocation and foreign body aspiration were most common in infants, in whom the risk of accidental death was higher than in the other age brackets ( 17 , 31 ). For some countries, we were able to obtain the mortality rates among children less than 1 year of age for deaths due to "other accidental threats to breathing," which falls under the category "other external causes of accidental injury" ( Table 6 ).…”

“…Data were obtained using death certificates, and the aim was to provide basic information for the prevention of injury mortality. The main cause of injury mortality was asphyxia caused by foreign body inhalation, secondary to inhalation and regurgitation of food ( 31 ).…”

“…In our review, a Chilean article studied the external causes of mortality in children less than 1 year and identified the inhalation of gastric contents as the main cause of death. Among children under 1 year of age, accidental threats to breathing, which exclude accidental drowning and submersion, represented the leading external cause of accidental death ( 31 ). In addition to the aforementioned obstructive choking, reports of mechanical suffocation were also reported by the articles from Canada and the United States, which state that suffocation was the principal cause of unintentional death from external causes in infants less than 1 year ( 17 , 20 ).…”

The objective of this study was to review mortality from external causes (accidental injury) in children and adolescents in systematically selected journals. This was a systematic review of the literature on mortality from accidental injury in children and adolescents. We searched the PubMed, Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences and Excerpta Medica databases for articles published between July of 2001 and June of 2011. National data from official agencies, retrieved by manual searches, were also reviewed. We reviewed 15 journal articles, the 2011 edition of a National Safety Council publication and 2010 statistical data from the Brazilian National Ministry of Health Mortality Database. Most published data were related to high-income countries. Mortality from accidental injury was highest among children less than 1 year of age. Accidental threats to breathing (non-drowning threats) constituted the leading cause of death among this age group in the published articles. Across the pediatric age group in the surveyed studies, traffic accidents were the leading cause of death, followed by accidental drowning and submersion. Traffic accidents constitute the leading external cause of accidental death among children in the countries under study. However, infants were vulnerable to external causes, particularly to accidental non-drowning threats to breathing, and this age group had the highest mortality rates for external causes. Actions to reduce such events are suggested. Further studies investigating the occurrence of accidental deaths in low-income countries are needed to improve the understanding of these preventable events.

“…As from the 1960's, the IMR has considerably decreased in Chile (2) , thanks to the improvement in the population's general living conditions, including health service quality and accessibility, making the rate comparable to that of countries with high economic and social development levels (3) . Out of 130 infant deaths that occur around the world every year, more than four million happen within the 979 www.eerp.usp.br/rlae Barría-Pailaquilén RM, Mendoza-Maldonado Y, Urrutia-Toro Y, Castro-Mora C, Santander-Manríquez G.…”

The aim of the study was to assess the trend of the infant mortality rate between 1990-2004 and the neonatal mortality between [2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005] in infants born at less than 32 weeks of gestational age or with very low birth-weight. Based on secondary data, infant mortality rate and by its component for Valdivia city were compared with national indicators. Mortality at <32 weeks and <1500g was calculated, establishing causes of death and evaluating its relation with specific interventions, such as the use of surfactant and antenatal corticoids.
