Description
Greater Metropolitan Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is the focus of this spatial-temporal ecological study analyzing intermunicipal flows of perinatal births and deaths. The dataset, created by Rosanna Iozzi da Silva, uses administrative records from 2011 and 2014, including the Brazilian Information System on Live Births and the Mortality Information System. It contains 47 variables summarized into three analytical dimensions: availability of beds, risk of life-threatening conditions, and socioeconomic status.
Use Cases
Modeling healthcare regionalization based on identified intermunicipal flows of births and deaths.
Conducting cluster analysis for perinatal health regions based on factors like bed availability and socioeconomic status.
Analyzing spatial relationships between mothers' municipalities of residence and locations of perinatal events.
Monitoring perinatal care access using parameters derived from administrative records.
Strengths
Data integrates multiple official Brazilian sources: Live Births, Mortality, Healthcare Establishments, and Population Census systems.
Analysis is based on 47 variables summarized into three interpretable factors accounting for a described percentage of variance.
Study covers two distinct years (2011 and 2014), allowing for temporal comparison.
