Summary
This systematic review highlights the growing use of Brazil's Live Birth Information System (SINASC) in health research. Further evaluation of SINASC's data coverage and reliability is recommended for maternal-infant health studies.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Informatics
- Epidemiology
Background:
- The Live Birth Information System (Sistema de Informações de Nascidos Vivos--SINASC) is a key data source in Brazil.
- Understanding its application in health research is crucial for improving maternal and infant health outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the utilization of the SINASC database in health research.
- To analyze trends, geographic distribution, and research themes associated with SINASC data.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature search was conducted across MEDLINE, LILACS, and SciELO databases.
- Search terms included "SINASC", "live birth", and "Brazil" for the period 1994-2005.
- 157 abstracts were identified, with 44 selected and classified for analysis.
Main Results:
- The number of research articles utilizing SINASC data showed an increasing trend from 1994 to 2005.
- Most studies were concentrated in the Southeast region of Brazil, with the municipality as the primary unit of analysis.
- Research topics encompassed live birth profiles, health program evaluations, and infant risk factor analyses.
Conclusions:
- SINASC is a valuable resource for maternal-infant health research in Brazil.
- There is a need for enhanced evaluation of SINASC's data coverage and reliability to ensure the accuracy of research findings.
- Continued research utilizing SINASC can inform public health policies and interventions.

01:21Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems
Controlled-release systems for intravaginal and intrauterine drug delivery have been developed primarily for the administration of contraceptive steroid hormones. These delivery routes circumvent first-pass hepatic metabolism, thereby enhancing bioavailability and allowing for reduced systemic dosages compared to oral administration. Such approaches contribute to improved therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance, particularly in long-term contraceptive regimens.Intravaginal Drug Delivery...
01:22Applications of Life Tables
Life tables are versatile across various fields, providing a quantitative basis for analyzing mortality and survival rates. Whether used by demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, or sociologists, life tables offer valuable insights into the dynamics of life and death, facilitating informed decisions in public health, insurance, conservation, and beyond. Their broad applicability highlights the interconnectedness of demographic data with practical outcomes in everyday life and strategic...
01:14Fetal Circulation
Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
