Esophageal atresia is a congenital malformation characterized by lack of continuity of the esophagus, which may or may not be associated with communication with the trachea. Newborns with esophageal atresia have a good survival rate in developed countries, but there is still a high mortality rate in developing countries. The objective was to analyze the neonatal and maternal characteristics related to the occurrence of death in newborns with esophageal atresia. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The data used are composed of the units' entry books and the charts of the newborn infants with diagnosis of esophageal atresia of a large public hospital of the Unified Health System (SUS) network of the central-western region, obtaining data from 2005 to 2015. Of the 45 newborns (NB) with esophageal atresia participants in the study, more than half died, the maternal age with the highest prevalence was 19 to 35 years, with mothers residing in the interior of Goiás, being mostly primipara, with single-fetus gestation with the resolution of gestation by cesarean section. The newborns presented gestational age <37 weeks and weight <2500g, being mostly males. The neonatal complications associated to the ventilatory system were those that had a higher occurrence among newborns with a diagnosis of esophageal atresia. Of the variables related to esophageal atresia, the most frequent type was esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula and the major association with another malformation was with the malformations of the cardiovascular system. A significant death rate was found, mainly in the post-neonatal period. Of the newborns who died most were premature and underweight at birth. We obtained a statistically significant association with death in hospitalized infants <7 days in the NICU, probably due to the severity of the associated diseases. We also found a statistically significant association with the length of hospital stay, with infants who have more malformations along with esophageal atresia, remaining an extended stay.
