“…A similar situation had already been evinced in Belo Horizonte for infantile mortality (4) . The analysis per coverage area allows that each team of the Health Centers knows the situation regarding mortality where it acts and adopts intervention measures based on the local reality.…”

“…In a similar study on infantile mortality in the city, accomplished in the 1990's, great inequalities in the mortality rates in these areas were not evidenced (4) . The lower perinatal mortality rates, found in the DSs Center-South and Pampulha were expected, as these regions concentrate the lower percentile of population living in areas of high and very high risk in the city (21) .…”

“…This rate was similar to the one of the Federal District and other states of the southeastern region (14) , but still with potential for further reduction awaiting the perinatal attendance network to be installed in the city and in relation to the already reached levels in other countries, like Argentina (10.8), United States (9.6), Spain (4.5) and the United kingdom (7.6) (11)(12)15) . There are also social and spatial differences in perinatal mortality, as already evidenced for infantile mortality in the city (4) . Thus, this study was This study also contributes to deepen the discussion on spatial inequalities and social vulnerabilities in perinatal mortality, since the majority of the studies of this sort focuses only on infantile mortality and the health indicators for the woman and the child (4,(16)(17) .…”

The space analysis and the Health Vulnerability Index were used to identify existing inequalities in the sanitary districts regarding coverage and risk, determined by the Odds Ratio and a value p<0.05. The multivariate analysis was used to describe a model for perinatal mortality. Results:there was a proved variation in the numbers of perinatal mortality per one thousand total births in the sanitary districts (12.5 to 19.4), coverage areas (5.3 to 49.4) and areas of risk (13.2 to 20.7). The mortality rate diminished as the maternal schooling increased. The death rates deriving from asphyxia/hypoxia and non-specified fetal death grew with the increase of risk in the area. Conclusion: it was verified that the perinatal deaths are distributed in a differentiated form in relation to the space and the social vulnerabilities. The confrontation of this complex problem requires the establishment of intersecting partnerships.

Background The establishment of regional development poles in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil was characterized by industrial expansion and consequent concerns about the increase in the occurrence of diseases, specifically those having long latency periods, as is the case of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. Methods The study included 367 patients diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia over a ten-year period at a reference treatment center. Records of patient charts and the TerraView software were used, respectively, for data collection and geographic mapping of the cases from the twelve established State development regions. Results A total incidence of 3.4 cases per 100,000 inhabitants was found, with a predominance of the disease among males, a median age of 47 years, a mestizo ethnicity, with elementary schooling and residence in urban area. Microregional incidence varied, but there was no significant variation in numbers over the years, and no relevant socio-environmental determinants were identified. Conclusion The present study determined the incidence and characterized the spatial distribution of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia cases over a decade in a northeastern Brazilian state. The variation in the incidence rate by region of development is compatible with a homogeneous distribution of the cases. The work is a baseline study to be used for present and future analyses of the impact of the state economic development poles and the occurrence of this chronic malignant disease.
