Objetivo: O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar a dinâmica temporal da sífilis gestacional e congênita em Sergipe, e descrever características associadas a variáveis sociodemográficas das mães cujos filhos tiveram sífilis congênita em Sergipe no período de 2007 a 2015. Metodologia: foi realizado um estudo descritivo, ecológico, analítico e do tipo série histórica de todos os casos de sífilis congênita ocorridos em Sergipe no ano de 2007 a 2015, incluindo as mães notificadas no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação – SINAN. Resultados: houve um aumento da taxa de incidência de sífilis congênita no período de 2007 a 2010, e uma tendência de estabilização da doença a partir deste ano a maioria das mães avaliadas, 68,46 % encontra-se entre 20 a 34 anos, 40,7% dessas mulheres possuem ensino fundamental incompleto e 85 % se declararam pardas, 72,7% realizaram o pré-natal e mesmo assim boa parte dessas mulheres foi diagnosticada tardiamente. Conclusão: este fato reflete a fragilidade da assistência de pré-natal prestada a estas mulheres no citado estado. Este fato reflete a necessidade de melhorias nas ações dos serviços de saúde em Sergipe.
The present study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution and its temporal trend, and to identify areas of risk for the occurrence of congenital syphilis in Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil. An ecological study of time series and spatial analysis techniques was performed, with municipalities as units of analysis. Data were obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System and included all cases of congenital syphilis reported from 2007 to 2015 in Sergipe. The local empirical Bayesian method used to minimize the rate variance. Spatial autocorrelation was used to analyze spatial patterns. 2,381 new cases of congenital syphilis were recorded in the studied period. A unique trend was found to increase the incidence, ranging from 2.7 (2007) to 11 (2015) per 1,000 live births. The average incidence in the period was 7.63 cases per 1,000 live births. Moran's global index was I = 0.64 (p<0.01), indicating the existence of spatial dependence; the Moran map identified 20 municipalities as priority areas of attention in Sergipe. There was a tendency to increase the incidence of congenital syphilis during the study period (2007-2010). As of 2010, the disease continued to grow, but with less growth than in previous years. As of 2011, there was stabilization with a remaining incidence of around 11 cases per 1,000 live births until 2015. The geographical distribution of the risk areas was heterogeneous, both due to the breadth of the territory and the concentration of cases in some regions.
