“…Recent studies in Brazil have highlighted a decrease in inequalities in infant mortality according to maternal schooling 19 .

This scenario illustrates the changes in Brazilian women's social and reproductive characteristics and healthcare in recent years 3 .…”

The mother without education showed a significant statistic for the risk of early neonatal mortality, supported by other studies.…”

Pesquisadores indicam necessidade de estudos aprofundados para elucidar esse resultado.…”

“…7 Estudos com dados do Distrito Federal e de Porto Alegre-RS também identificaram tendência de queda da TMI a partir da década de 1990. 8,9 A TMI no município de Guarulhos-SP foi de 107 por mil nascidos vivos em 1971 e, desde então, tem apresentado tendência de diminuição até a década de 1990. 3 Em 2010, a TMI em Guarulhos-SP (13,3 por mil) estava próxima à média do estado de São Paulo (13,9), porém acima de São Caetano do Sul-SP (9,5) e Porto Alegre-RS (11,6).…”
