Avoidable deaths in the first four years of life among children in the 2004 Pelotas (Brazil) birth cohort study

Abstract: Although Brazil is close to achieving the quantitative goal, the number of deaths under one year of age is still inconsistent with the country's economic potential 4 . In addition, many of these deaths are due to avoidable causes 5 , since they are amenable to prevention with available interventions. Taking death as one of the extreme results of quality of care, the proportion of avoidable deaths has been used as an indicator of quality of the health system 6,7,8,9 and its occurrence has been interpreted as a … Show more

The findings of this study are consistent with other studies in Brazil 27,28 . Recent evidence indicates that a higher frequency of prenatal consultations with a health professional is associated with a lower probability of maternal and infant death, which could be due to increased opportunities to detect and manage potential complications.…”

[16][17][18][19][20] Ressalta-se que para a realização dessas atividades, qualquer que seja a composição da equipe de investigação, ela deve estar articulada com os setores públicos e privados responsáveis pela assistência à saúde, preferencialmente por profissionais não envolvidos diretamente na assistência ao óbito, 2,10 e não só por um indivíduo, como ocorreu nos municípios estudados.
