Principais causas da mortalidade na infância no Brasil, em 1990 e 2015: estimativas do estudo de Carga Global de Doença

Abstract: ABSTRACT:Objective: To analyze under-5 mortality rates and leading causes in Brazil and states in 1990 and 2015, using the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2015 estimates. Methods: The main sources of data for all-causes under-5 mortality and live births estimates were the mortality information system, surveys, and censuses. Proportions and rates per 1,000 live births (LB) were calculated for total deaths and leading causes. Results: Estimates of under-5 deaths in Brazil were 191,505 in 1990, and 51,226 in… Show more

“…While adult mortality data in Brazil are assessed to be complete for the period of this analysis, child mortality data are estimated to be < 95% complete in the vital registration system [50]. Other national-level analyses have included additional data sources at a different spatial resolution such as household surveys [51]. Due to the complexity of integrating different data types, only vital registration data were included in this analysis.…”

“…In Brazil, the mortality rate in childhood had an important reduction between 1990 and 2015. Thus, the country fulfilled the goal established in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of reducing by two thirds the mortality of children aged up to five years 2,3 . The rate, which was 53.7 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990, decreased to 13.8 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2015 3 .…”

“…The main causes of death in childhood include infections, mainly respiratory infections 2,4 . According to data from the Mortality Information System (MIS), respiratory diseases correspond to almost 20.0% of the preventable causes of death in children aged 1-4 years and 6.2% in children aged below 1 year 1 .…”

“…Neste estudo, identificamos que a maior concentração de crianças estava no grupo de menores de doze meses e pode ser justificada tanto pela maior concentração de consultas de acompanhamento de puericultura (Brasil, 2017c), como pela maior ocorrência de doenças agudas e distúrbios e/ou quadros decorrentes da prematuridade nessa faixa etária (França et al, 2017).…”

“…De acordo com França et al (2017), os índices de mortalidade na infância reduziram entre as crianças menores de cinco anos, embora ainda esteja elevado. Em países subdesenvolvidos, tem se verificado elaboração de políticas visando à promoção do desenvolvimento de crianças pequenas.…”
