Spatial patterns of the total mortality over the first 24 hours of life and that due to preventable causes.

This is an ecological study analysing spatial patterns of the total mortality over the first 24 hours of life and that due to preventable causes using data from the mortality information system (SIM) and live birth information system (SINASC) based on the municipalities of Pernambuco State, Brazil. The total mortality rates over the first 24 hours and that due to preventable causes were calculated for each municipality for the decades of 2000 to 2009 and for 2010 to 2019 to enable a comparison of the spatial patterns with spatial scan statistic used to identify clusters. Over the first 24 hours of life, a total of 13,571 deaths were reported, out of which 10,476 (77.

Minor Structural Alterations of the Vocal Fold Cover: Vocal Quality before and after Treatment.

 Minor structural alterations of the vocal fold cover are important causes of dysphonia. The variability in the type of alteration and the grade of vocal deviation affects the definition of the conduit and the results of treatment.  To characterize the occurrence, the selected treatments adopted and vocal quality before and after treatment in patients with minor structural alterations of the vocal folds cover.

[Neonatal near miss in referral hospitals for high-risk pregnancy and childbirth: a cross-sectional study].

The article aimed to describe and compare indicators of neonatal near miss in referral hospitals for high-risk pregnancy and childbirth. This exploratory study was performed in two general hospitals in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. The study included cases of neonatal near miss in the year 2016 with gestational age < 33 weeks, birthweight < 1,750g, 5-minute Apgar < 7, or admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) and that remained alive at 7 days of life.

Evolution of the provision of speech therapists in the Brazilian public healthcare system: study on correlations with social indictors in the last decade.

Purpose: Investigate the correlation between the provision of speech therapists in the Brazilian public healthcare system and social indicators between 2007 and 2016.

Methods: An ecological study was conducted. The units of analysis were the 27 federative units of Brazil.

EARLY NEONATAL NEAR MISS IN A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: COMPARATIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.

Objective: To compare 2012 and 2016 data on early neonatal near miss indicators from Health Information Systems at a university hospital.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in 2012 and 2016. We considered early neonatal near misses the live births that presented one of the following risk conditions at birth: gestational age <33 weeks, birth weight <1,750g or 5-minute Apgar score <7, or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admission, and were alive until the 7th day of life.

Spatial analysis of inequalities in fetal and infant mortality due to avoidable causes.

Objectives: to analyze social inequalities in spatial distribution of fetal and infant mortality by avoidable causes and identify the areas of greater risk of occurrence.

Methods: avoidable deaths of fetal and infant residents of Recife/Brazil were studied. The rates of avoidable fetal and infant mortality were calculated for two five-year periods, 2006-2010 and 2011-2015.

Access to speech-language pathology therapy and continuity of assistance in Primary Health Care for victims of motorcycle accidents.

Purpose: To verify the access to speech-language pathology (SLP) therapy and continuity of assistance in Primary Health Care (PHC) for victims of motorcycle accidents.
