Análise da mortalidade por tétano neonatal no Brasil (1979-1987)

Abstract: This study reports mortality from neonatal tetanus in Brazil (1979-1987), based on an analysis of death certificates. The distribution of causes of death in time and space was used as an indicator of proportional neonatal mortality from tetanus. Underreporting remains a serious problem, particularly in northern and northeastern Brazil. In most municipalities, only one death was notified during the period under consideration, thus highlighting the importance of considering the theoretical approach of "sentinel … Show more

“…There is a direct relationship between partum and postpartum care and neonatal tetanus. (1,39,40) Vaccination Full dT schedules vaccinations for every potential childbearing woman-whether pregnant or notbetween 12 and 49 years of age; for indigent women, the potential childbearing age should be considered between 10 and 49 years; the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) considers this age to be between 15 and 49 years; pregnant women who have not begun the schedule should be started as soon as possible. Immunity is provided to the newborn infant by appropriate maternal immunization with at least two doses.…”

“…Os critérios para definição de áreas geográficas de risco, cujo objetivo é o controle do agravo, têm sido definidos segundo as peculiaridades de cada país. Assim, as áreas 'repetidoras de casos' e aquelas que apresentaram, mesmo que seja somente um caso, têm sido igualmente consideradas como áreas de risco (Schramm et al, 1996). Recentemente as áreas potenciais de risco também assumiram importância.…”

“…Apesar disso, a maioria dos estudos brasileiros indicam que o tétano neonatal é uma doença que acomete populações carentes, que não têm acesso aos serviços de saúde, incluindo os serviços obstétricos e de pré-natal (MENEGBEL et al, 1988;SCHRAMM;SANCHES;SZWARCWALD, 1996;VIEIRA, 1998). Assim, a morbidade e a mortalidade por tétano neonatal podem ser vistas como um indicador não apenas de diferenciais da situação de vida da população, mas também da acessibilidade, qualidade e utilização dos serviços de saúde materna e da extensão da cobertura pelo programa de vacinação.…”
