The objective of this work was to analyze the profile of mortality of children under 5 years old due to external causes in the municipality of Arcoverde (PE), from 2010 to 2020. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive research, with a quantitative approach, where case reports were collected from children under 5 years of age who were victims of traffic accidents and assaults in a city in the interior of Pernambuco. These cases come from the records of the notification forms of the Mortality Information System (SIM) from 2010 to 2020, electronically provided on the website of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). In the municipality of Arcoverde (PE), 599 deaths involving different age groups due to external causes (ICD10) were reported between the period 2010-2020. A high percentage of male deaths in relation to female deaths was observed, which raises the need for a detailed investigation regarding the vulnerability of males under 5 years of age. In this way, the professionals of the multidisciplinary team of Primary Care are essential for the development of practices for the promotion and prevention of accidents aimed at reducing infant mortality.
