Introduction: an Interdisciplinary Center for the Attention of Children with Down syndrome provides services for children until the age of 2. Objective: describe the mortality incidence and the associated diseases during the first year of life in children with Down syndrome. Material and methods: children with Down syndrome born or derived to the Pereira Rossell Neonatology Service from January 7, 2003 until April 30, 2005. Results: 45 children were assisted. 22 mothers (48,9%) were over 35 years old. Only in one case (2,2%) a prenatal diagnosis was done. 8 children died (17,8%). Associated malformations were observed in 36 children (80%). 32 children (71,1%) had congenital heart disease and 11 (34,4%) required surgery. One children (2,2%) had congenital hypothyroidism. From the 37 children alive after one year, eight had hypothyroidism. Conclusions: these children and families multiple problems are confronted in a better way by an interdisciplinary group. This allowed an earlier diagnosis of the different problems. There is a high mortality and a high incidence of cardiac and thyroid problems.
