Tendencia de incompletitud de variables de Clasificación de Robson en el Sistema de Información de Nacidos Vivos en Paraná, 2014-2020

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To assess the incompleteness of the Robson Classification variables in the Live Birth Information System (Sistema de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos - SINASC), in the state of Paraná, and its trend, 2014-2020.

Methods:

This was a time-series study that analyzed six variables, according to health macro-regions. Incompleteness was classified (percentage of “ignored” and “blank fields”) as follows: excellent (< 1.0%); good (1.0-2.9%); regular (3.0-6.9%); poor (≥ 7.0%). Prais-Winsten regression was used to estimate trends.

Results:

A total of 1,089,116 births were evaluated. The variable “cesarean section before the onset of labor” was classified as poor in 2014 (39.4%) and 2015 (44.3%) in the state and in all macro-regions, but with a decreasing trend in incompleteness. The variables “gestational age” in the North and Northwest macro-regions, and “parity” and “number of fetuses” in the Northwest macro-region showed an increasing trend.

Conclusion:

Most of the variables evaluated showed low percentages of incompleteness with a decreasing trend, but there is a need to improve the completion of some variables.
