Sub-registro de nascimentos vivos em localidade do Estado de Piauí, Brasil Underregistration of live births in city of the State of Piauí, Brazil

Abstract

Decorrente de falta de dados que informem de modo fidedigno aos planejadores da área de Saúde, objetivou-se estimar a taxa mínima de sub-registro de nascimentos vivos na cidade de Piripiri, Piauí, no período de 1 de julho de 1983 a 30 de junho de 1984. O método utilizado para medir o sub-registro foi a comparação dos dados oficiais (Cartório de Registro Civil) com os não oficiais (Fundação Serviço Especial de Saúde Pública - FSESP e Igreja Católica), cujo resultado mostrou uma taxa mínima de sub-registro muito alta (68,4%) quando comparada com taxas de outras localidades brasileiras. Estudou-se a associação entre registro civil e variáveis interveníentes como local do parto, sexo da criança, estado civil e zona de residência da mãe. Concluiu-se ser o sub-registro um problema de Saúde Pública cujos fatores fundamentais como a educação, a conscientização da população e a gratuidade do registro, dentre outros, poderão contribuir para sua diminuição, com a conseqüente melhoria do planejamento das ações na área da Saúde Pública, de benéfica repercussão na vida da população.The minimum rate of underregistration of live births in the city of Piripiri, Piauí, between Jury 1,1983 and June 30,1984, is calculated. The lack of trustworthy data on underregistration of births is of the utmost importance in the area of Public Health, principally to those responsible for planning the Health Services. The method used to measure underregistration was the comparison of official data (Civil Registry Office) with unofficial data (Foundation SESP and the Catholic Church), the results of which show a very high minimum rate of underregistration - 68.4% - as compared with the rates of other places in Brazil. The association between the civil register and such variables as place of births, sex of child, civil status and residential zone of mother was also studies. It is concluded that underregistration is a public health problem the fundamental contributory factors of which, such as education, making the population aware of the importance of the birth certificate and removing the charge on registration, among other things, could contribute to its decrease with a consequent improvement in Public Health planning with considerable benefit to the population.
