This is a cross-sectional study that aimed to analyze neonatal deaths in the state of Pará from 2010 to 2020, with the purpose of identifying their occurrence according to micro and mesoregions and describing the epidemiological profile of deaths based on sex, gestational age, type of pregnancy, and birth weight. The results indicated an overall reduction of 24% in neonatal deaths, but with significant variation among micro and mesoregions. Prematurity accounted for 56% of the deaths, and an increase in deaths among neonates with less than 22 weeks of gestation was observed. It was also found that neonatal deaths were more frequent among mothers with low educational attainment. In this context, personalized strategies for each microregion are necessary to improve neonatal indicators. Strengthening prenatal care, promoting normal delivery, providing adequate care for preterm infants, and disseminating information and education to pregnant women and families are essential to reduce neonatal deaths. These findings contribute to the understanding of risk factors associated with neonatal deaths and emphasize the need for specific and integrated interventions to improve neonatal outcomes and ensure a healthy future for children in Pará.
