Resumo: |
Deaths triggered in children less than one year of life are influenced by biological, cultural, demographic, socio-economic and assistance factors. This study describes the epidemiology profile of infant deaths that happened in the 6th Regional Executive Office in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil, in 2008 and 2009 and assesses its avoidability according to the results of the Regional Committee for the Prevention of Infant and Fetal Death (CRPOIF). This is an ecological, descriptive and quantitative study, with the outcome of the occurrence of infant death. 192 deaths were studied in a population of 240. Variables were grouped according to maternal socio-demographic characteristics. For data processing we used the Epi-Info software version 3.5.1, with analysis of means, medians of some variables and adopted the Confidence Interval of 95%. To assess the avoidability of deaths, we used the criteria proposed by the Brazilian List of Preventable Deaths in the National Health System after being reviewed by the committee. In 2008 (54%) and 2009 (52%) of deaths in children under one year of life were considered preventable by the CRPOIF based on this list, and following the classification adopted to analyze the deaths. It was concluded that 30% of deaths of children under one year old in 2008 are avoidable by appropriate actions of diagnosis and treatment, 26% by appropriate care to women in pregnancy, 22% by appropriate actions for health promotion, 12% are avoidable by appropriate care to newborns, 8% by appropriate care to women during childbirth, and 2% reduced through actions of vaccine prevention. From the avoidable deaths in 2009, 44% were reduced through appropriate care to women in pregnancy, 33% by appropriate actions for diagnosis and treatment, 10% by appropriate care to newborns, 7% by appropriate actions to health promotion and 6% reduced through appropriate care to women in childbirth. These results can be used to address effective interventions that aim to reduce infant mortality, both within the 6th Regional Executive Office, as in the other offices of this city. |
