“…In the current study, the proportion of hospitalizations from these causes was low (< 1%). Such differences can be attributed to methodological issues between studies and improvements in some maternal-child indicators in the municipality in recent decades, for example improved perinatal care, longer breastfeeding, and an increase in maternal schooling 5,20 . In the study by Ferrer et al 5 , calculation of the hospitalization rate included all hospitalizations of children under one year, without excluding readmissions, which may have overestimated the hospitalization rate from these causes.…”

“…(4,8) Studies have reported that low birth weight is strongly associated with infant death in the neonatal period. (9,10) Also, both the low weight and prematurity reflect socioeconomic and maternal morbidity conditions that are not favorable for the development of the fetus. A study carried out in a region of the state of Paraná revealed that urinary tract infections were the main cause of premature labor, which, in turn, can lead to low birth weight.…”

Objective: Identifying the independent risk factors associated with infant deaths registered in Brazilian public information systems. Methods: A cross-sectional study using secondary data recorded in public information systems for eleven years. The association of mortality rates was observed according to death periods using univariate and multivariate regression tests. Results: The infant mortality rate decreased by 20.7 % in the study period. The list of independent factors associated with infant deaths shows the necessity for measures to increase public actions aimed at the early onset of prenatal care, continuing until the postpartum, puerperal period and in the growth and development of the newborn. Conclusion: The independent risk factors for infant death were low birth weight, gestation duration of less than 37 weeks, multiple pregnancy, maternal educational level lower than eight years, Apgar score and less than seven antenatal pregnancy. ResumoObjetivo: Identificar os fatores de risco independentes associados aos óbitos infantis registrados nos sistemas informatizados públicos brasileiros. Métodos: Estudo transversal com dados secundários registrados no período de onze anos nos sistemas informatizados públicos. A associação das taxas de mortalidade foi verificada segundo períodos de óbito utilizando-se testes de regressão univariada e multivariada. Resultados: A mortalidade infantil apresentou redução de 20,7% no período estudado. A lista de fatores independentes associados aos óbitos infantis indica a necessidade de medidas para intensificar as ações públicas visando o início precoce da assistência pré-natal, no pós-parto, acompanhamento no puerpério, e o crescimento e desenvolvimento do recém-nascido. Conclusão: Os fatores de risco independentes para o óbito infantil foram: baixo peso ao nascer, duração da gestação inferior a 37 semanas, gravidez múltipla, escolaridade materna inferior a oito anos, boletim de Apgar e menos de sete consultas pré-natais.

“…Therefore, conditions acknowledged as risks to the mother and newborn-which can be prevented and intervened by the health sector-combined with unfavorable socioeconomic conditions such as low family income and low education-can characterize iniquity. Knowing these factors, the responsibility of managers, health professionals and services is directly linked to preventable child deaths [19,20].…”

ABSTRACTwere considered preventable, and higher percentages were found in outlying areas. The main causes were illnesses originated during the perinatal period (73.8%), external causes (11.3%) and diseases of the respiratory system (5.1%). Conclusion: It is necessary to implement actions and policies on child and prenatal assistance, in order to reduce the inequality observed between the central and outlying areas of the region under study.
