To investigate the change in mortality of congenital malformation in children aged <5 years in Beijing from 2006 to 2015. Using the death surveillance data in children aged <5 years in Beijing from 2006 to 2015, which was collected from the real-time surveillance network, we calculated the area and age distributions of the mortality of congenital malformation in children aged <5 years in Beijing. Meanwhile, the variations of age, time and space in the causes of deaths were discussed. The mortality rate of congenital malformation in the children s decreased from 1.909‰ in 2006 to 0.703‰ in 2015, the decrease rate was 63.17 . The decrease rate was highest in neonates (71.50 ) ( (2)=57.993, <0.01). Expect urban area ( (2)=3.384, >0.05), the mortality rates of congenital malformation in the children showed a downward trend in outer suburban area and suburban area ( (2) =40.637 and 50.646, <0.01). The proportion of the children died of congenital malformation decreased from 32.97 in 2006 to 23.24 in 2015, which ma
