Objective: To achieve the neonatal mortality coefficient (NMC) from 2005 to 2009 at the referred facilities and compare it to the 2002 data, when this hospital was not regarded yet as a risk maternity. Method: A retrospective cross study based on the patients' records data for all live births (NB) during the 2005-2009 period (N= 9,966) and compared by weight mortality specific coefficients to 2002 data, applying the specific coefficients for 2005 to 2009 using the Chi-Square test tool. Results: There were 2,694 live births in 2002, out of which 32 NB had died (NMC = 1 1.8%0). For the period 2005 to 2009 these rates were 15.7%0; 19.55%0; 17.67%0; 17.0%0 and 14.2%0, respectively. In 2002, extremely low birth weight (ELBW) e and very low birth weight (LBW) newborns were significantly lower than those for the following years,*. When the 2005-2009 populations were stratified by the 2002 composition, it was noted that the expected NMCs were below: 15.7%0-14.81%; 19.55%0-11.87%0; 17.67%0-15.5%0;; 17.0%0- 12,9%0 and 14.2%0-12.6%0. (X2 =10.03%; p< 0.05). The ELBW and LBW occurrences in the 2005-2009 populations did significantly differ from the 2002 ones: average 1.30% and 2.25% compared to 0.92% and 2.03%, lower than the others (p< 0.05). No significant difference was noted for mothers' age and pre-natal visit number parameters. Conclusion: The 2005-2009 NMCs were higher than those for 2002, when population composition was different from that of the following years, based on the lower ELBW and LBW rates achieved at.
