0118/2013 - MORTES INFANTIS EVITÁVEIS POR INTERVENÇÕES DO SISTEMA ÚNICO DE SAÚDE: COMPARAÇÃO DE DUAS COORTES DE NASCIMENTOS AVOIDABLE CAUSES OF INFANT DEATHS DUE TO INTERVENTIONS OF THE BRAZILIAN UNIFIED HEALTH SYSTEM: A COMPARISON OF TWO BIRTH COHORTS
Comparou-se a mortalidade infantil evitável nas coortes de nascimentos de 2000/2001 e de 2007/2008, em Londrina-PR. Dados sobre nascidos vivos e óbitos infantis foram vinculados em base de dados única e as causas básicas de morte foram agrupadas conforme a Lista Brasileira de Causas de Mortes Evitáveis por Intervenções do Sistema Único de Saúde. Calculou-se a variação percentual das taxas de mortes entre os biênios e usou-se a técnica de análise de correspondência. As proporções de óbitos evitáveis foram de 71,6% em 2000/2001 e de 65,5% em 2007/2008. A taxa de mortalidade evitável por “atenção à mulher na gestação” predominou nos dois biênios, com incremento de 16,7%. Houve declínio das taxas de mortalidade evitável pelas demais causas. A análise de correspondência mostrou, em 2000/2001, um perfil de mortes representado principalmente por causas evitáveis por “atenção à mulher no parto” e por “adequada promoção/atenção à saúde”, enquanto que, em 2007/2008, por causas evitáveis por “adequada atenção à mulher na gestação”, especialmente entre os nascidos com baixo peso, e "não claramente evitáveis" entre os com peso adequado. Apesar da diminuição da mortalidade por algumas causas evitáveis, são necessárias medidas para aumentar a qualificação da atenção durante a gestação.

Abstract:
Avoidable infant mortality was compared among the cohorts of live births in 2000/20001 and 2007/2008 in Londrina (PR). Data on live births and infant deaths were matched in a single database and the underlying causes of death were classified according to the Brazilian List of Avoidable Causes of Mortality of the Brazilian Unified Healthcare System. The proportional variations of death rates were calculated and the technique of correspondence analysis was used. The proportions of avoidable deaths were 71.6% in 2000/2001 and 65.5% in 2007/2008. Avoidable mortality rate due to “care of the woman during pregnancy” was the most frequent in the two biennia and increased 16.7%. There was a decline in avoidable mortality rates due to other causes. Correspondence analysis showed, in 2000/2001, a profile of deaths characterized mainly by causes avoidable by “care of the woman during labor” and "health promotion/care" while, in 2007/2008, by causes avoidable by “care of the woman during pregnancy”, particularly among low birth weight newborns and "not clearly avoidable", among those with adequate weight. Despite a reduction in some avoidable causes of deaths, improvements in antenatal care are required.
