Secular trends in infant mortality by age-group and avoidable components in the State of São Paulo, 1996–2012

Abstract: Objective:To describe trends and composition of infant mortality rate in the State of São Paulo, from 1996 to 2012.Methods:An ecological study was conducted, based on official secondary data of births and infant deaths of residents in São Paulo, from 1996 to 2012. The infant mortality rate was calculated by the direct method and was analyzed by graphs and polynomial regression models for age groups (early neonatal, late neonatal and post-neonatal) and for groups of avoidable causes of death.Results:The mortali… Show more

“…According to the results of Ebrahimvandi's study [14], reduced PMR by 0.9 deaths per 1000 people could reduce IMR by 56% in some regions, and PMR reduction was itself affected by increased prenatal care. The trend of IMR is declining in all areas, but there is a long way to go, as in some countries preventable deaths account for more than three quarters of infant deaths, with more than half of these deaths being prevented by caring for women during pregnancy and around childbirth [15]. The pattern of infant mortality has varied with interventions conducted in developed countries.…”

“…Com decréscimo do Coeficiente de Mortalidade Infantil (CMI) no período pós-neonatal, estudo realizado no estado de São Paulo revelou um coeficiente divergente ao do presente estudo, de 7,7% para 3,6% NV (22) . Dados semelhantes foram obtidos em pesquisa realizada na 21ª RS do Paraná, com 62% dos óbitos infantis concentrados no período pós-neonatal (23) .…”
