Epidemiological investigation of perinatal deaths in Recife-Pernambuco: a quality assessment
ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the completeness of perinatal death investigation sheets, stratified by age components. Method: descriptive study carried out in Recife, PE, in 2014. Among 308 perinatal deaths, 46 were excluded from this study due to association with congenital malformations, and 7 due to missing investigation sheets. Analysis included 255 deaths (160 fetal deaths, and 95 preterm neonatal deaths). The degree of completeness of 98 variables was calculated. They were aggregated into six blocks: identification, prenatal care, birth care, family characteristics, occurrence of death and conclusions and recommendations. Results: the median rate of completeness for perinatal death investigation sheets was 85.7% (82.8% for records of fetal deaths and 89.5% for records of preterm neonatal deaths). The best-filled information block was “identification” (96.1%), as well as its components: fetal (94.7%) and preterm neonatal (97.9%). The worst was “prenatal care” (69.8%), along with its components: fetal (73.8%) and preterm neonatal (67.4%). Conclusion: investigation sheets had good completeness; there were differences between variables and components of perinatal death.
