Resultados perinatais e do primeiro ano de vida segundo cor da pele materna: estudo de coorte

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the maternal characteristics and perinatal and the first year outcomes of life according to the self-reported color of the mothers. Method: Cohort study with mothers and their babies developed in a city in the interior of São Paulo. Followup occurred from June 2015 to February 2017. Data were collected at five moments: in the first month and at three, six, nine and 12 months of the child's life. Sociodemographic variables related to prenatal and delivery were included in the study. Among the perinatal outcomes, we analyzed the birth weight and the need for hospitalization in neonatal units; for the outcomes of the first year of life, the occurrence of respiratory infection and the breastfeeding duration were measured. Results: A total of 507 mothers participated in the study. Black/brown women presented an unfavorable socio-demographic situation when compared to white women. The only more favorable outcome among black/brown women was the breastfeeding duration. Conclusion: Despite the unfavorable sociodemographic situation considering the selected outcomes, black/brown women did not have worse results. The hypothesis that the quality of care may negate the negative effects of their sociodemographic conditions needs to be tested in future studies.

Casos de tuberculose com notificação após o óbito no Brasil, 2014: um estudo descritivo com base nos dados de vigilância

“…Além de ser o grupo étnico-racial com maior contingente populacional no Brasil, a variável raça/cor da pele preta ou parda tem importante colinearidade com escolaridade e renda no país, e portanto, associa-se com o padrão de busca por serviços de saúde. 6,24,25 Pessoas pretas e pardas estão, assim, mais expostas ao atraso do diagnóstico e tratamento, e da notificação oportuna da doença. O resultado do estudo corrobora essa hipótese e evidencia as barreiras enfrentadas por esse contingente no acesso à saúde de qualidade no Brasil, um dos países mais desiguais do mundo.…”
