Objective: This study aims at describing the mortality situation in Bac Ninh province from 2017-2020 Methods: A cross-sectional study design was applied. Data regarding individual mortality during 2017-2020 in Bac Ninh province was collected from mortality registration system (namely A6/YTCS). In particular, information about each mortality was collected, including: age, gender, address, date of mortality and cause of mortality. Descriptive statistics was used to show the mortality rate between age groups and gender. A log-scale was used to show the pattern across age groups in each male and female mortality. Results: The results show that the mortality rate (per 1,000 people) of children under 5 years old was lowest among age groups in 2019 compared to other years (0.73 mortality per 1,000 people). However, when comparing the under-5-mortality rate across four years, the mentioned figure was higher than 2017, 2018 and 2020. During the entire period 2017-2020, the age group over 80 years old had the highest mortality rate (per 1,000 people) from 40.82 (in 2017) to 69.90 (in 2020). For gender comparison, male had higher mortality rates than female in all age groups Conclusions: Among children under 5 years old, the mortality rate were highest in 2019 when comparing with the other years, including 2017, 2018 and 2019. Conversely, the lowest mortality trend was observed in 2017 across most age groups, except for the 20-24 and 35-39 age groups. Throughout the period, the mortality rate consistently rose in the over 80 age group.
