“…The rate of neonatal diseases was high in both periods for pre-term newborns, but it was also high for full- low birth rate and a 12.8% prematurity rate were lower than those found in the present study. An increase in prematurity and caesarean delivery rates, found in population-based studies in Brazil, even for low perinatal risk populations, 18 was not observed in the same degree in our hospital-based study.…”

Objective: To compare perinatal health indicators in a referral hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Methods:Perinatal results and indicators of single live births in Hospital das Clínicas of Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Belo Horizonte, Brazil, were compared for two periods, 1995-1998 and 2003-2006. The chi-square test and Student's t test were applied with 5% significance level and 95% confidence interval. Data were obtained from the Perinatal Information System (Sistema Informático Perinatal, SIP), Latin American Center for Perinatology (Centro Latinoamericano de Perinatología, CLAP), Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Hospital das Clínicas, and from medical records. Results:Mothers were approximately 26 years old on average. The number of prenatal appointments had an average increase of one appointment, regardless of birth weight, and there was a significant decrease in the number of caesarean deliveries in the second period. The average gestational age was 38 weeks in both periods, with a high rate of premature births (17.0 and 16.7%, respectively). The rate of newborns < 2,500 g was high in both periods (17.6 and 16.6%, respectively) with a decrease in the rate of newborns considered small for their gestational age. When congenital malformations were excluded, early neonatal mortality risk decreased from 12.4 per 1,000 live births in the first period to 8.0 per 1,000 live births in the second period, with considerable decrease for newborns with gestational age < 34 weeks.Conclusions: Important differences were verified concerning health care assistance procedures and perinatal results, and they are compatible with the global improvement in neonatal health observed in the 2003-2006 period. However, the persistence of unfortunate neonatal incidents that can be reduced with the use of available perinatal technologies reveals the need for constant monitoring of perinatal hospital care for all groups of newborns.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2010;86(4):295-302: Health services evaluation, information systems, neonatal mortality, infant mortality.

“…Six of the databases concern repeated studies conducted in Sao Luís, MA (1997-1998 and 2010, the latter as yet unpublished), 23 Ribeirao Preto, SP (1994 and 2010, the latter also unpublished) 7 and Pelotas, RS (1993,2004,2011). 3,11 These studies are population based, including birth occurring in these municipalities (generally over the period of one year) or systematic samples of all newborns. In the Ribeirao Preto and Sao Luís cohorts in the 2010-BRISA, births in households resident in the municipalities were included.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of preterm birth by categories of birth weight, and to obtain an equation to correct the estimates. METHODS:Systematic review of the Brazilian literature published from 1990 to 2012, to identify studies with primary collection of data on birth weight and gestational age. Twelve studies were selected and contributed for tabulations of preterm prevalence according to 100 g birth weight categories. These results were combined using sex-specific fractional polynomial equations and the resulting curves were compared with results from the Live Birth Information System for the years 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2011. RESULTS:For all birth weight categories, preterm prevalence estimates based on primary studies had a higher prevalence than those of the the Live Birth Information System. The prevalence reported by the Live Birth Information System was of 7.2% in 2010, about 38.0% lower than the estimated prevalence of 11.7% obtained with the correctional equation. CONCLUSIONS:Information reported by the Live Birth Information System on preterm prevalence does not reflect the true magnitude of the problem in Brazil, and should not be used without the correction factors proposed in the present analyses.

“…More methodological details of the study can be found elsewhere. 5,6 The study outcome was report of medicine use regardless of therapeutic indication or class at the three, 12-and 24-month follow-up during a 15-day recall period. Mothers were asked about their children's medicine use in the past 15 days and then medicine names were recorded and prescriptions and packages requested.…”

OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated to medicine use among children from the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort, Brazil. METHODS: Prospective study to evaluate medicine use in children aged 3, 12 and 24 months regardless of the reasons, therapeutic indication or class. The study included 3,985 children followed up at three months of age, 3,907 at 12 months, and 3,868 at the last follow-up time of 24 months. Mothers were interviewed to collect information on medicine use during the recall period of 15 days prior to the interview. The outcome was studied according to sociodemographic and perinatal variables, mother's perception of child's health and breastfeeding status. Crude and adjusted analyses were performed by Poisson regression following a hierarchical model. RESULTS: The prevalence of medicine use ranged from 55% to 65% in the three follow-ups. After controlling for confounders, some variables remained associated to medicine use only at the three-month follow-up with greatest use among children of younger mothers, those children who had intrapartum complications, low birthweight, were never breastfed and were admitted to a hospital. Greatest medicine use was also associated with being a firstborn child at 3 and 12 months; mother's perception of their child health as fair or poor and children whose mothers have private health insurance at 12 and 24 months; highest maternal education level at all follow-up times. CONCLUSIONS: Different variables influence medicine use among children during the first two years of life and they change as the child ages especially maternal factors and those associated to the child's health problems.
