“…Non-preventable deaths corresponded to 19.2% of the total and were related to either congenital malformations incompatible with life or birth weight lower than 1,000 g. Adequate pregnancy monitoring could have reduced 11.5% of the deaths, and adequate delivery care, 5.1% 16 , 17 . In a study performed in the Brazilian Federal District in 1999 and 2000, classifying death according to preventability, Monteiro and Schmitz 18 have reported a similar result, with 35.5% of deaths being reducible by means of prevention, diagnosis and early treatment actions 18 . In a study carried out from 2000 to 2003 in the city of Porto Alegre, where 1,139 deaths occurred, Jobim and Aerts 15 reported that 76.6% were classified as preventable.…”

BackgroundInfant mortality has decreased in Brazil, but remains high as compared to that of other developing countries. In 2010, the Rio Grande do Sul state had the lowest infant mortality rate in Brazil. However, the municipality of Novo Hamburgo had the highest infant mortality rate in the Porto Alegre metropolitan region.ObjectiveTo describe the causes of infant mortality in the municipality of Novo Hamburgo from 2007 to 2010, identifying which causes were related to heart diseases and if they were diagnosed in the prenatal period, and to assess the access to healthcare services.MethodsThis study assessed infants of the municipality of Novo Hamburgo, who died, and whose data were collected from the infant death investigation records.ResultsOf the 157 deaths in that period, 35.3% were reducible through diagnosis and early treatment, 25% were reducible through partnership with other sectors, 19.2% were non-preventable, 11.5% were reducible by means of appropriate pregnancy monitoring, 5.1% were reducible through appropriate delivery care, and 3.8% were ill defined. The major cause of death related to heart disease (13.4%), which was significantly associated with the variables ‘age at death’, ‘gestational age’ and ‘birth weight’. Regarding access to healthcare services, 60.9% of the pregnant women had a maximum of six prenatal visits.ConclusionIt is mandatory to enhance prenatal care and newborn care at hospitals and basic healthcare units to prevent infant mortality.

Teve o obje vo de iden fi car como se colocam na literatura, as causas da morte e a relação com as condições socioeconômicas. Foram selecionados 27 ar gos, 74,4% publicados em periódicos da área da Saúde Pública e 66,7%, de desenho do po ecológico. Quase a totalidade versava sobre grupos de causas e seus componentes (66,7%), seguidos pelo terço restante, sobre a iden fi cação dos fatores determinantes dos óbitos. A região Sudeste produziu mais de 37% dos estudos. Na maioria dos municípios e estados brasileiros, a redução superou 50% no fi nal da década de 1990. Dentre os grupos de causas de óbitos, predominou o grupamento diarreia-pneumonia, seguido pelas malformações congêni-tas. As condições de vida segundo indicadores socioeconômicos -moradia, saneamento básico, educação e acesso à saúde -foram determinantes para os maiores índices de mortalidade pós-neonatal por causas passíveis de redu bilidade. DESCRITORES Mortalidade infan l Mortalidade pós-neonatal Causas de morte Revisão ABSTRACTThis is a systema c review regarding postnatal mortality, covering the period between 2004 and 2009. The objec ve was to iden fy how the causes of death and the rela onship with socioeconomic condions are stated in the literature. Twentyseven ar cles were selected, 74.4% of which were published in public health journals, with 66.7% having an ecological study design. Nearly all ar cles addressed cause groups and their components (66.7%), followed by the remaining third, which addressed the iden fi ca on of the determinant factors of the deaths. The Southeast region produced over 37% of the studies. In most Brazilians ci es and states, there was a reduc on of deaths by more than 50% by the end of the 1900s. Among the cause of death groups, the diarrhea-pneumonia group was predominant, followed by congenital abnormali es. The basic life condi ons according to socioeconomic indicators -housing, basic sanita on, educaon, and accessibility to health -were determinants for the highest postnatal death rates due to reducible causes.

“…Nesse sentido, o conhecimento do perfil de morbidade e mortalidade de ambos os grupos é essencial para o planejamento das ações na área da saúde. 1,2 As afecções perinatais não só constituem a primeira causa de mortalidade neonatal no país, como também interferem nas mortes ao longo do primeiro ano de vida. 1,2 Já a ocorrência de morbidade grave e de morte materna está diretamente relacionada à adequada atenção durante o ciclo gravídico-puerperal, podendo ser significativamente reduzidas se a assistência profissional e a estrutura institucional forem adequadas, independentemente de outras características.…”
