The regionalization of perinatal care should consider existing healthcare structures for facilitating access.

The data sources were the Brazilian Information System on Live Births, Mortality Information System, National Registry of Healthcare Establishments, and 2010 Population Census.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of asthma in 6- to 7-year-old children in Rio de Janeiro and its relationship with sex, using a telephone survey based on the ISAAC questionnaire.
- - Researchers conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 3,216 interviews with parents, revealing that asthma symptoms such as "wheezing" and "severe asthma" were significantly more common in boys compared to girls.
- - The findings indicate that asthma is highly prevalent among schoolchildren in Rio, with results consistent with similar studies, suggesting telephone surveys can effectively gather epidemiological data on childhood asthma.
