Abstract

The study analyzed birth characteristics in municipalities of the State of Paraná, grouped in Health Districts (HD) seat and non-seat municipalities, considering the mother, newborn, pregnancy and childbirths variables of 2006, obtained from the national System of Live Birth Information (Sinasc). The prevalence rate for adolescent mothers (PR=1.24), little schooling (PR=2.02), childbirths outside hospital (PR=3.44), less than four prenatal care appointments (PR=1.22) and African descendent race/color (PR=1.71) indicated risks for the residents in the group of non-seats municipalities. On the other hand, low birth weight (PR=0.95), cesarean deliveries (PR=0.91) and prematurity (PR=0.87) were more frequent among residents of HD seat municipalities. In these municipalities, the population may have less access to health care services, thus HD seat municipalities have to reinforce the surveillance, especially of those municipalities under their responsibility that presented greater risk to the health of children and women.
