This is an ecological and time-series study using secondary data on perinatal mortality and its components from 2008 to 2017 in Espírito Santo, Brazil. The data were collected from the Mortality Information System (SIM) and Live Births Information System (SINASC) of the Unified Health System Informatics Department (DATASUS) in June 2019. The perinatal mortality rate (×1000 total births) was calculated. Time series were constructed from the perinatal mortality rate for the regions and Espírito Santo. To analyze the trend, the Prais–Winsten model was used. From 2008 to 2017 there were 8132 perinatal deaths (4939 fetal and 3193 early neonatal) out of a total of 542,802 births, a perinatal mortality rate of 15.0/1000 total births. The fetal/early neonatal ratio was 1.5:1, with a strong positive correlation early neonatal mortality rate, perinatal mortality rate, r (9) = 0.8893, with a significance level of p = 0.000574. The presence of differences in trends by health region was observed. Risk factors that stood out were as follows: mother’s age ranging between 10 and 19 or 40 and 49 years old, with no education, a gestational age between 22 and 36 weeks, triple and double pregnancy, and a birth weight below 2499 g. Among the causes of death, 49.70% of deaths were concentrated in category of the tenth edition of the International Classification of Diseases, fetuses and newborns affected by maternal factors and complications of pregnancy, labor, and delivery (P00–P04), and 11.03% were in the category of intrauterine hypoxia and birth asphyxia (P20–P21), both related to proper care during pregnancy and childbirth. We observed a slow reduction in the perinatal mortality rate in the state of Espírito Santo from 2008 to 2017.

RESUMOObjetivo: Analisar evidências sobre a produção científica a respeito da assistência à mulher em situação de violência sexual (VS), com foco na sua percepção, bem como na dos profissionais de saúde, e na relação com as políticas públicas de saúde no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo de revisão integrativa que identificou 21 artigos, a partir das bases SciElo, MEDLINE, Lilacs e RedAlyc, no período de 2005 a 2016, com idioma em português. O estudo analisou a eficácia das políticas públicas nos serviços brasileiros. Emergiram os núcleos temáticos: Serviço de atenção à mulher em situação de VS; Percepção das mulheres acerca da assistência à VS; e Atendimento dos profissionais de saúde acerca da assistência à VS. Resultados: O atendimento integral preconizado pelo Ministério da Saúde é desrespeitado em 87,5% dos estados do país, devido aos ambientes ambulatoriais inadequados e aos profissionais incapacitados para atender às mulheres segundo as normas. Predomina a assistência medicalizada, tradicional e fragmentada, que valoriza o modelo hegemônico biomédico e despreza ações de caráter preventivo e de promoção à saúde. As mulheres desconhecem os seus direitos, e sofrem reflexo de uma sociedade que ainda a culpabiliza pela agressão sofrida. Conclusão: Compreende-se que ainda existem obstáculos para efetivação das políticas na assistência às mulheres em situação de VS e os profissionais de saúde necessitam de capacitação e ambiente adequado para assisti-las. Existe uma lacuna na produção científica acerca da percepção da mulher sobre o atendimento de VS relacionando segurança pública e saúde no território nacional.
