There was significant correlation of no-declaration of births occurred out of a hospital, in municipal districts away from Regional Health Office, premature births, with low birth weight and from mothers with low education level. Paradoxically, births with a higher risk of morbidity and mortality and that need further research and investment to eliminate regional disparities are not well documented. The possible difficulties in the access to prenatal care and flaws in communication and assistance can influence the appropriate registration of the Declaration of Live Birth.
