Retrospective Study of Postoperative Mortality at a Tertiary Children's Hospital in Iran: A Cross Sectional Study

Child mortality rate is one of the most important health indicators and is used globally to assess the overall quality of healthcare in various countries. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), penned at the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000, aimed to reduce the mortality rate of children younger than 5 years old by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. Nearly 11 million children worldwide die each year before the age of five, and these deaths occur mainly in low-income and middle-income countries, especially in the Middle East [2].
