To describe the profile of neonatal mortality in the city of Manaus, with an maternal, neonatal, and the main causes of death in the period from 2012 to 2016. Method: Epidemiological, descriptive study using secondary database (DATASUS). Results: 1,798 neonatal deaths were identified in the study period. O The neonatal mortality coefficient (MNC) presented a discrete regression of 8.6 / 1000NV in 2012 to 8 / 1000NV in 2016, the highest CMN were found in children of mothers with more than 40 years of age (14.4 / 1000NV), with no schooling (51.8 / 1000NV), women with multiple gestation (26.4 / 1000NV) and among those whose children were born vaginally (8.8 / 1000NV). The neonatal deaths were mostly early, with an estimated risk of 6.3 / 1000NV, and the highest coefficients were found in males (8.7 / 1000NV), premature infants (59.8 / 1000NV) and low birth weight (80.7 / 1000NV). The main causes of death are related to conditions originating in the perinatal period (74.08%) and congenital malformations (23.64%). Conclusion: The CMN has regressed discreetly. The profile maternal and neonatal mortality does not differ from other Brazilian cities, the main causes of death could have been prevented by adequate attention to the health of the woman and the newborn during gestation, labor and delivery.
