Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence, causes and factors associated with preventable under-five mortality in Kelantan from 2018-2021. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted between December 2022 till June 2023 among under-five deaths from ten districts in Kelantan notified to Kelantan State Health Department from 2018 to 2021.

Further analysis showed that preventable under-five deaths was significantly associated with maternal aged 14-19 (Adj. OR 2.69, 95% CI: 1.24,5.83; p=0.012), household income less than RM3000 (Adj. OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.05,2.31; p=0.030), child age (Adj. OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.12,0.31; p <0.001), child without comorbidities (Adj. OR 3.26, 95% CI 2.37,4.49; p<0.001) and shortfall of quality of care (Adj.
