Abstract:

This study assesses the quality of the information systems SIM and SINASC in coverage, incompleteness and consistency dimensions, as well as the contribution of the linkage technique to retrieve data. It includes all live births and infant deaths in Rio Grande do Sul State2000 to 2014. The records were paired by deterministic linkage through the DNV number and, in its absence, by probabilistic linkage. SINASC\'s coverage raised72.2% in 2000 to 98.9% in 2014, a 37% increase in the number of matched records. All variables in SINASC presented excellent incompleteness throughout the period, except for the number of dead children and maternal occupation. SIM presented poor or very poor incompleteness for most of the variables until 2003. Although it has improved since then, in 2014 six variables still presented regular or poor incompleteness. The linkage procedure greatly reduced the incompleteness for most variables. There was a great variability in terms of consistency: while for gender this percentage was over 97% during all the period, for another five variables it was still less than 75% in 2014. SINASC presented high coverage level and excellent incompleteness. Problems related to consistency persist. This study shows the linkage technic efficiency to retrieve missing information.
