MARQUES, Lays Janaina Prazeres; OLIVEIRA, Conceição Maria de y BONFIM, Cristine Vieira do. Assessing the completeness and agreement of variables of the Information Systems on Live Births and on Mortality in Recife-PE, Brazil, 2010-2012. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.4, pp.849-854. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S1679-49742016000400019.
OBJECTIVE:
to assess the information completeness and agreement on infant deaths.
METHODS:
this was an evaluation study with descriptive design using data of the Information System on Live Births (Sinasc) and Mortality Information System (SIM) of residents in Recife-PE, Brazil, in 2010-2012; the deterministic records linkage was used to combine the data on infant deaths and live births.
RESULTS:
of the 837 infant deaths registered on SIM, 811 (96.9%) were linked; the completeness obtained was above 95% on SIM and 98% on Sinasc; the agreement varied from 0.762 (substantial) to 0.997 (excellent) for the intraclass correlation coefficient, and it was excellent for Kappa index (>0.80).
CONCLUSION:
Sinasc and SIM presented excellent completeness and agreement for most of the variables analyzed. The relationship between the databases is a tool that can be used by the health services of the municipalities to improve the vital statistics information systems.
