OLIVEIRA, Max Moura de et al. Evaluation of the National Information System on Live Births in Brazil, 2006-2010. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.4, pp.629-640. ISSN 1679-4974.
OBJECTIVE: to analyze attributes and usefulness of the National Information System on Live Births (Sinasc), Brazil, 2006-2010. METHODS: this evaluation was based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines for Evaluating Public Health Surveillance Systems. RESULTS: 21 of the 23 variables analyzed showed completeness above 90.0%. 97.9% of hospital birth variables had complete data; no differences in the proportion of births were found with regard to macroregion and sex when compared to the 2010 census; 82.6% of data was received on time in 2010; the ratio between reported and estimated live births was 89.4% in 2006 and 97.4% in 2010; this system was used to build 22 health monitoring indicators. CONCLUSION: the aspects evaluated and usefulness of Sinasc confirm the quality and importance of the information it provides in serving as input for public policies on maternal and child health.
