We performed a case control study to determine if nutritional status is a risk factor for death in the infant hospitalized for pneumonia at Hospital Belen de Trujillo 2010 - 2016. Material and Methods: An analytical, observational, retrospective case-control study was conducted. The study population consisted of 76 infants with pneumonia, 38 deceased constituting the group of cases and 38 non-deceased, who represented the control group. The information was obtained from the patients' medical records in the archives of the Statistics Office of the Hospital Belen de Trujillo. Statistical analysis was done in percentage and with the Chi-square test, the significance level was considered if p <0.05. Results: The results showed that of the 38 infants who died due to pneumonia, 11 (28.9%) were malnourished and 38 were undernourished (10.5%). It was found that there was significant difference, p = 0.043. The Odds Ratio was 3.46 with a 95%, IC between 1.09 - 12.09. Conclusions: Malnutrition is a risk factor for death in infants hospitalized for pneumonia.
