Abstract

Objective: to analyze scientific evidence about indigenous infant mortality.
Method: an integrative literature review with 10 articles, fully available in English, Portuguese and Spanish, published from 2014 to 2019 in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System on-line, in Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, on the Capes portal and the Cochrane Library. Data were retrieved from July to September 2019, processed in IRAMUTEQ and analyzed by descending hierarchical classification based on the dendrograms.
Results: a total of 6 classes were found: 1- Differences between indigenous and non-indigenous infant mortality; 2- Indigenous infant mortality; 3- Public policies for indigenous peoples; 4- Impact health actions to prevent infant deaths; 5- Importance of information systems; 6- Demand for resolutive health services.
Conclusion: the evidence suggests the need for more effective actions to face indigenous infant mortality. Its high rate must be observed in health planning.
