Objective: to analyze the trend of incompleteness of the maternal schooling and race/skin color variables held on the Brazilian Live Birth Information System (SINASC) between 2012 and 2020.
Methods: this was an ecological time series study of the incompleteness of maternal schooling and race/skin color data for Brazil, its regions and Federative Units, by means of joinpoint regression and calculation of annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change.
Results: a total of 26,112,301 births were registered in Brazil in the period; incompleteness of maternal schooling data decreased for Brazil (APC = -8.1%) and the Southeast (APC = -19.5%) and Midwest (APC = -17.6%) regions; as for race/skin color, there was a downward trend for Brazil (APC = -8.2%) and all regions, except the Northeast region, while nine Federative Units and the Federal District showed a stationary trend.
Conclusion: there was an improvement in filling out these variables on the SINASC, but with regional disparities, mainly for race/skin color.

The present article aimed to analyze the association between sociodemographic and hospitalization characteristics with the outcome of indigenous and non-indigenous pregnant and postpartum women, as well as factors associated with deaths among indigenous women hospitalized for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) due to COVID-19 in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional and analytical study, with secondary data of pregnant and postpartum women of reproductive age, classified into race/skin color (indigenous and non-indigenous), extracted from the Obstetric Observatory, which uses data from the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System. The outcome variables were analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression was performed for the factors associated with the death of indigenous people.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the definitions of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in predicting diabetes among Brazilian adults.
- Utilizing data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil), researchers analyzed 7,073 participants aged 35-74, focusing on those with ultrasound-confirmed steatosis and cardiometabolic factors.
- Over 9.4 years, both NAFLD and MASLD showed a significant increase in diabetes incidence (78% for NAFLD and 88% for MASLD), with similar results across different race/skin color groups.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the time taken for individuals to achieve viral load suppression after starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Brazil from 2015 to 2018, focusing on both personal and healthcare facility factors that may influence this timeline.
- The research included 132,540 participants, revealing that a significant majority (89.4%) achieved viral suppression, with median time to suppression at 161 days, influenced by when they received their viral load tests.
- The findings highlight the importance of individual characteristics and healthcare facility attributes in the suppression timeline, suggesting that improving viral load monitoring could enhance outcomes for people living with HIV.
