Abstract:

Objective: In this research, carried out a study to analyze the spatial distribution of neonatal mortality and its correlation with the biological, socioeconomic and attention to maternal and child health, in the Brazilian states in the period from 2006 to 2010. Method: The study made thematic maps and correlation (LISA) for verification of spatial dependence and multiple linear regression models. Results: It was found that there is no spatial autocorrelation for neonatal mortality in the Brazilian states (R = 0.002, p = 0.48). Most variables were correlated (r> 0.3, p <0.05) with neonatal mortality, forming clusters in the North and Northeast, with the highest rates of teenage mothers, low household income per capita, lower consultations prenatal and beds Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The number of UCI beds Neonatal independent effect remained after regression analysis. Conclusion: It is concluded that regional inequalities in living conditions and especially access to maternal and child health contribute to the unequal distribution of neonatal mortality in Brazil.
