Abstract:

We reviewed the scientific production on maternal health and on the health of children under ten years of agepublished in RevistaCiência&SaúdeColetivaduring the last 25 years, with focus on quantitative studies. Characteristics of the authors, populations under study, thematic areas and methodology are described. A total of 170 publications were identified and grouped into 12 major themes. Pregnancy, delivery, or puerperium were the subject of 47 studies, followed by child anthropometric assessments (29 articles), breastfeeding (24) and mortality (13). The ed publications represented 3.5% of the total of original articles published by the journal since its creation in 1996, and about 5% of the publications since 2015. The main sources of data were health service records, information systems and population surveys. The cross-sectional design was used in 113 of the 170 articles, and 70% of these covered only one municipality. The Southeast and Northeast Regions of Brazil were target of most studies, with the North Region being the least represented. The publications reflect the complexity of themes that concern maternal and child health, with a special focus on the importance of the Unified Health System and demonstrating how open access data can contribute to public health research.
