RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The Swedish Primary Health Care (PHC) system has, like in other European countries, undergone a gradual transition towards marketization and privatization, most distinctly through a 2010 choice reform. The reform led to an overall but regionally heterogenous expansion of private PHC providers in Sweden, and with evidence also pointing to possible inequities in various aspects of PHC provision. Evidence on the reform's impact on population-level primary health care performance and equity in performance remains scarce. The present study therefore aimed to examine whether the increase in private provision after the reform impacted on population-average rates of avoidable hospitalizations, as well as on corresponding socioeconomic inequities. METHODS: This register-based study used a multiple-group interrupted time-series design for the study period 2001-2017, with the study population (N = 51 million observations) randomly drawn from the total Swedish population aged 18-85 years. High, medium, and low implementing comparison groups were classified by tertiles of increase in private PHC providers after the reform. PHC performance was measured by avoidable hospitalizations, and socioeconomic position by education and income. Interrupted time series analysis based on individual-level data was used to estimate the reform impact on avoidable hospitalization risk, and on inequities through the Relative Index of Inequality (RII). RESULTS: All three comparisons groups displayed decreasing risk of avoidable hospitalizations but increasing socioeconomic inequities across the study period. Compared to regions with little change in provision after the reform, regions with large increase in private provision saw a steeper decrease in avoidable hospitalizations after the reform (relative risk (95%): 1.6% (1.1; 2.1)), but at the same time steeper increase in inequities (by education: 2.0% (0.1%; 4.0); by income: 2.2% (-0.1; 4.3)). CONCLUSIONS: The study suggests that the increase in private health care centers, enabled by the choice reform, contributed to a small improvement when it comes to overall PHC performance, but simultaneously to increased socioeconomic inequities in PHC performance. This duality in the impact of the Swedish reform also reflects the arguments in the European health policy debate on patient choice PHC models, with hopes of improved performance but fears of increased inequities.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence and factors associated with exclusive (EBF) and continued breastfeeding (BF) practices among Amazonian children. METHODS: Data from 1,143 mother-child pairs recorded on the Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition in Acre (MINA-Brazil) birth cohort were used. Information on EBF and BF was collected after childbirth (July 2015-June 2016) and during the follow-up visits at 1 and 6 months postpartum, 1, 2, and 5 years of age. For longitudinal analysis, the outcomes were EBF and BF duration. Probability of breastfeeding practices were estimated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Associations between baseline predictors variables and outcomes among children born at term were assessed by extended Cox regression models. RESULTS: EBF frequencies (95% confidence interval [95%CI]) at 3 and 6 months of age were 33% (95%CI: 30.2-36.0) and 10.8% (95%CI: 8.9-12.9), respectively. Adjusted hazard ratio for predictors of early EBF cessation were: being a first-time mother = 1.47 (95%CI: 1.19-1.80), feeding newborns with prelacteals = 1.70 (95%CI: 1.23-2.36), pacifier use in the first week of life = 1.79 (95%CI: 1.44-2.23) or diarrhea in the first two weeks of life = 1.70 (95%CI: 1.15-2.52). Continued BF frequency was 67.9% (95%CI: 64.9-70.8), 29.3% (95%CI: 26.4-32.4), and 1.7% (95%CI: 0.9-2.8) at 1, 2 and 5 years of age, respectively. Adjusted hazard ratio for predictors of early BF cessation were: male sex = 1.23 (95%CI: 1.01-1.49), pacifier use in the first week of life = 4.66 (95%CI: 2.99-7.26), and EBF less than 3 months = 2.76 (95%CI: 1.64-4.66). CONCLUSIONS: EBF and continued BF duration among Amazonian children is considerably shorter than recommendations from the World Health Organization. Significant predictors of breastfeeding practices should be considered for evaluating local strategies to achieve optimal breastfeeding practices.

Primary health care (PHC) systems are a crucial instrument for achieving equitable population health, but there is little evidence of how PHC reforms impact equities in population health. In 2010, Sweden implemented a reform that promoted marketization and privatization of PHC. The present study uses a novel integration of intersectionality-informed and evaluative epidemiological analytical frameworks to disentangle the impact of the 2010 Swedish PHC reform on intersectional inequities in avoidable hospitalizations. The study population comprised the total Swedish population aged 18-85 years across 2001-2017, in total 129 million annual observations, for whom register data on sociodemographics and hospitalizations due to ambulatory care sensitive conditions were retrieved. Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Analyses (MAIHDA) were run for the pre-reform (2001-2009) and post-reform (2010-2017) periods to provide a mapping of inequities. In addition, random effects estimates reflecting the discriminatory accuracy of intersectional strata were extracted from a series MAIHDAs run per year 2001-2017. The estimates were re-analyzed by Interrupted Time Series Analysis (ITSA), in order to identify the impact of the reform on measures of intersectional inequity in avoidable hospitalizations. The results point to a complex reconfiguration of social inequities following the reform. While the post-reform period showed a reduction in overall rates of avoidable hospitalizations and in age disparities, socioeconomic inequities in avoidable hospitalizations, as well as the importance of interactions between complex social positions, both increased. Socioeconomically disadvantaged groups born in the Nordic countries seem to have benefited the least from the reform. The study supports a greater attention to the potentially complex consequences that health reforms can have on inequities in health and health care, which may not be immediate apparent in conventional evaluations of either population-average outcomes, or by simple evaluations of equity impacts. Methodological approaches for evaluation of complex inequity impacts need further development.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To review observational studies on the association between breastfeeding (BF) practices and head circumference (HC) of children < 2 years old. METHODS A systematic review was conducted using the following electronic databases of health sciences: PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs), Web of Science and Scopus. We selected observational studies published in any language from January 01, 2010 to November 19, 2021, from different populations that investigated the association between BF practice and HC among healthy children < 2 years old. Titles and abstracts were screened independently by two evaluators. RESULTS From the 4,229 articles identified, 24 were included in this review: 6 cross-sectional, 17 longitudinal, and 1 case-control. The studies varied in their definition of the variables for BF and in reporting its practice, frequency, duration, and feeding method. Regarding HC, the authors analyzed the mean differences, abnormal values (z-score above + 2SD or below -2SD according to the World Health Organization (WHO) growth standards, 2007), and longitudinal growth parameters. The findings of this review suggest that BF may have a positive relationship with HC at the beginning of life. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that BF, especially exclusive BF, may play a protective role against abnormal HC values in young children. However, more robust evidence with standardized BF indicators and WHO growth standards (2007) are required.

RESUMO OBJETIVO: Descrever a prevalência e os fatores associados às práticas de aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME) e continuado (AM) entre crianças amazônicas. MÉTODOS: Foram utilizados dados de 1.143 pares mãe-filho registrados na coorte de nascimento Materno-Infantil no Acre (MINA-Brasil). As informações sobre AME e AM foram coletadas após o parto (julho de 2015-junho de 2016) e durante as consultas de acompanhamento com 1 e 6 meses pós-parto e com 1, 2 e 5 anos de idade. A análise longitudinal considerou a duração do AME e AM como desfechos. A probabilidade das práticas de aleitamento materno foi estimada pela análise de sobrevida de Kaplan-Meier. As associações entre as variáveis preditoras basais e os desfechos entre crianças nascidas a termo foram avaliadas por modelos de regressão de Cox estendidos. RESULTADOS: As frequências de AME (intervalo de confiança de 95% [IC95%]) aos 3 e 6 meses de idade foram de 33% (IC95%: 30,2-36,0) e 10,8% (IC95%: 8,9-12,9), respectivamente. A razão de risco ajustada para preditores de interrupção precoce do AME foi: ser primípara = 1,47 (IC95%: 1,19-1,80), alimentar recém-nascidos com pré-lácteos = 1,70 (IC95%: 1,23-2,36), usar chupeta na primeira semana de vida = 1,79 (IC95%: 1,44-2,23) e apresentar diarreia nas duas primeiras semanas de vida = 1,70 (IC95%: 1,15-2,52). A frequência do AM continuado foi de 67,9% (IC95%: 64,9-70,8), 29,3% (IC95%: 26,4-32,4) e 1,7% (IC95%: 0,9-2,8) aos 1, 2 e 5 anos de idade, respectivamente. A razão de risco ajustada para preditores de cessação precoce do AM foi: sexo masculino = 1,23 (IC95%: 1,01-1,49), uso de chupeta na primeira semana de vida = 4,66 (IC95%: 2,99-7,26) e AME menor que 3 meses = 2,76 (IC95%: 1,64-4,66). CONCLUSÕES: A duração do AME e do AM continuado entre crianças amazônicas é consideravelmente menor do que as recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Preditores significativos das práticas de aleitamento materno devem ser considerados na avaliação das estratégias locais para alcançar práticas ideais de aleitamento materno.

Resumo A nutrição adequada no início da vida pode afetar o desenvolvimento e a sobrevivência infantil, por isso a adesão às práticas de aleitamento materno e o seu monitoramento regular tornam-se essenciais. Este artigo objetiva realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre a frequência do aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME) aos 30 dias de vida, divulgada em estudos longitudinais. Para isso, foram identificados artigos nas bases de dados PubMed e LILACS. A combinação dos termos de pesquisa foi "estudo prospectivo" e "aleitamento materno". A busca limitou-se aos artigos em inglês, espanhol e português, e compreendeu as publicações entre os anos 2015 e 2020. Foram selecionados 17 estudos originais. Apesar das diferenças metodológicas entre eles, em relação ao tipo e tamanho de amostra, a definição do AME e método de mensuração, os resultados indicam alta taxa de início da amamentação (≥86%) e ampla variação da ocorrência de AME aos 30 dias de vida (4,5%-86%), com declínio substancial (<60%) em 63% dos locais investigados. Esses resultados distam do cumprimento da recomendação da Organização Mundial da Saúde de AME até o sexto mês de vida, e indicam a necessidade de investigações, com metodologia padronizada, para comparação dentro dos e entre os países, visando ao planejamento de ações para incentivo à amamentação.
Abstract Early life feeding can affect children's development and survival. Adherence to breastfeeding practices and regular monitoring is essential. This study aims to conduct an integrative review of longitudinal studies on the frequency of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) at 30 days of life. Articles were retrieved from the PubMed and LILACS databases. The combination of descriptors used was: "prospective study" and "breast feeding." The search was limited to articles published between 2015 and 2020 in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. We selected 17 original studies. Despite their methodological differences regarding sample size and type, follow-up period, and EBF definition and measurement method, results indicated a high rate of breastfeeding initiation (≥86%) and a wide variation in the occurrence of EBF at 30 days of life (4.5% - 86%) with substantial decline (<60%) in 63% of the investigated areas. These results are far from complying with the recommendation from the World Health Organization of maintaining EBF up to the sixth month of a child's life and point to the need for further investigations with a standardized methodology to allow for comparisons within and between countries, aiming at planning actions which support breastfeeding.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados (AUP) e fatores associados no primeiro ano de vida. Trata-se da análise de dados do seguimento de um ano da coorte de nascimentos MINA-Brasil. Foram coletados dados socioeconômicos, demográficos e obstétricos na maternidade e no seguimento de um ano (n = 774), investigando consumo alimentar do dia anterior à entrevista, a fim de avaliar o consumo de AUP. A razão de prevalência (RP) e o intervalo de confianças (IC 95%) para consumo ≥ 3 AUP foram estimados em modelo de regressão múltiplo de Poisson com variância robusta. A prevalência de consumo ≥ 1 AUP foi 87,5%; e ≥ 3 AUP de 40,5%, estando associado a: menor escolaridade materna (≤ 9 anos [RP: 1,97 IC 95% 1,38; 2,80] e entre 10-12 anos [RP: 1,58, IC 95% 1,13; 2,20) comparados com > 12 anos de escolaridade, índice de riqueza abaixo da média (RP: 1,26, IC 95% 1,04; 1,53) e ter mãe adolescente (RP: 1,28, IC 95% 1,06; 1,55). A ausência de diversidade da dieta foi inversamente associada ao desfecho (RP: 0,65, IC 95% 0,51; 0,81). O consumo ≥ 3 AUP se associou às características maternas de menores escolaridade, índice de riqueza e idade materna, e a diversidade da dieta ao maior consumo de AUP.
Abstract This article aims to assess the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) during the first year of life and associated factors. We analyzed data from the one-year follow-up of the MINA-Brazil birth cohort. Socioeconomic, demographic and obstetric data were collected in the baseline study and at one-year follow-up (n = 774). Dietary intake during the previous day was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire to determine UPF consumption. Multiple Poisson regression with robust variance was performed to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and confidence intervals (95%CI) for factors associated with the consumption of ≥ 3 UPFs. Prevalence of UPF consumption and consumption of ≥ 3 UPFs was 87.5% and 40.5%, respectively. Consumption of ≥ 3 UPFs was associated with lower maternal education (≤ 9 years of schooling [PR: 2.02 95%CI 1.42; 2.87] and between 10-12 years of schooling [PR: 1.55, 95%CI 1, 11; 2.14]), below-average wealth index (PR: 1.26, 95%CI 1.04; 1.53), and having a teenage mother (PR:1.19, 95%CI 1.00; 1.49). Lack of dietary diversity was inversely associated with the outcome (RP: 0,65, IC95% 0,51; 0,81). The consumption of ≥ 3 UPFs was associated with lower wealth index, education and maternal age. Dietary diversity was associated with higher levels of UPF consumption.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a concordância entre dados de peso pré-gestacional, peso na gravidez, altura e pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e diastólica (PAD) registradas tanto na caderneta da gestante quanto nas informações obtidas no estudo longitudinal MINA-Brasil. Foram selecionadas as gestantes participantes do estudo MINA-Brasil que apresentavam cartão do pré-natal no momento do parto. A análise de concordância dos dados utilizou o coeficiente de correlação de concordância de Lin e análise de Bland-Altman. Foram incluídas 428 gestantes. Houve concordância moderada entre as informações para o peso pré-gestacional autorreferido (0,935) e altura (0,913), e concordância substancial para o peso da gestante no segundo (0,993) e terceiro (0,988) trimestres de gestação. Verificou-se baixa concordância da PAS e PAD no segundo (PAS=0,447; PAD=0,409) e terceiro (PAS=0,436; PAD=0,332) trimestres gestacionais. As medidas antropométricas apresentaram boa concordância. Houve baixa concordância entre as medidas de pressão arterial, que podem estar relacionadas tanto à variabilidade como também à padronização dessas medidas, sugerindo-se necessidade de capacitação e treinamento contínuo das equipes de pré-natal na atenção primária à saúde.
Abstract This article aims to examine agreement of pre-pregnancy weight, pregnancy weight, height and systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure measurements recorded on antenatal record cards with the same information obtained in the MINA-Brazil longitudinal study. 428 pregnant women who participated in the MINA-Brazil study and had an antenatal card at time of childbirth were selected. Concordance analysis of the data used Lin's correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman analysis. There was moderate agreement on self-reported pre-pregnancy weight (0.935) and height (0.913) information, and substantial agreement on the pregnant women's weight in the second (0.993) and third (0.988) trimesters of pregnancy. Little agreement was found on SBP and DBP measured in the second (SBP = 0.447; DBP = 0.409) and third (SBP = 0.436; DBP = 0.332) trimesters of pregnancy. Anthropometric measurements showed strong agreement. There was weak agreement between blood pressure measurements, which may relate both to the variability and the standardisation of these measurements, suggesting the need for continued training of antenatal teams in primary health care.
RESUMEN
Abstract Objectives: to investigate the factors associated with continued breastfeeding (BF). Methods: All the parturients at a local maternity from July 2015 to June 2016 were invited to participate in a cohort study in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre. Data on socioeconomic, demographic, obstetric and neonatal of the babies were obtained for the interview. Multiple Poisson regression models with robust variance were used to estimate the prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results: among the 1551 mothers contacted, 305 lived in the rural area, leaving 1,246 eligible mothers living in urban area. For the 1-year cohort follow-up, 74 non-twin babies were assessed. Most of the mothers reported to have mixed skin color (79%), are over 21 years old (72°%o), more than 10 years of schooling (72%>) and with unpaying job (54%). The children's age ranged from 10 to 15 months. The frequency of continued breastfeeding was 69,4%> (95%oCI=66.0-72.6). The factors negatively associated with continued breastfeeding were the use of bottle feeding (PR=1.44; CI95%> =1,33-1.56) and pacifier (PR=2.54; CI95%> =1.98-3.27), after adjusting for maternal age and socioeconomic variables. Conclusion: the frequency of continued breastfeeding in Cruzeiro do Sul was higher than the national estimates, but below the WHO recommendations for breastfeeding up to two years of age.
Resumo Objetivos: investigar frequência e fatores associados ao aleitamento materno (AM) continuado. Métodos: estudo de coorte em Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre. Na maternidade, todas as parturientes de julho de 2015 a junho de 2016 foram convidadas à participação. Dados socioeconómicos, demográficos, obstétricos e neonatais dos bebês foram obtidos por entrevista. As razões de prevalência (RP) e intervalos com 95% de confiança (IC95%) foram estimados utilizando modelos múltiplos de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. Resultados: dentre 1551 mães contatadas, 305 residiam em área rural, sendo elegíveis 1246 mães residentes em área urbana. No seguimento de 1 ano da coorte, 774 bebês não gemelares foram avaliados. A maioria das mães referiu ser de cor parda (79%o), maior de 21 anos (72%), >10 anos de escolaridade (72%) e não exercer atividade remunerada (54%). A idade dos bebês variou de 10 a 15 meses. A frequência do AM continuado foi de 69,4%o (IC950%= 66,0-72,6). Os fatores inversamente associados ao AM continuado foram uso de mamadeira (RP= 1,44; IC95% 1,33-1,57) e chupeta (RP= 2,55; IC95%= 1,99-3,28), após ajuste por idade materna e variáveis socioeconómicas. Conclusão: a frequência de AM continuado em Cruzeiro do Sul foi superior às estimativas nacionais, porém aquém das recomendações da OMS para amamentação até dois anos de idade.

Introdução: As práticas de alimentação no início da vida podem afetar diretamente o desenvolvimento, crescimento e a sobrevivência infantil. Entre os indicadores de saúde infantil propostos pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, a frequência e a duração das práticas de aleitamento materno (AM) até os dois anos de vida, e os fatores relacionados, são fundamentais para o monitoramento das ações para promoção, proteção e apoio à amamentação. Objetivos: a) Identificar as evidências disponíveis em estudos longitudinais sobre a frequência do aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME) aos 30 dias de vida (artigo 1); b) Investigar a associação entre ganho de peso gestacional (GPG) e desfechos perinatais em gestantes Amazônicas (artigo 2); c) Examinar o papel do GPG excessivo e das práticas de amamentação no índice de massa corporal (IMC) aos 2 anos de idade na primeira coorte de nascimentos de base populacional na Amazônia brasileira (artigo 3); e d) Identificar os preditores da interrupção do AME antes dos seis meses de vida e do AM antes dos dois anos de idade em crianças Amazônicas (artigo 4). Métodos: Trata-se de revisão integrativa da literatura (artigo1) e análises de dados do estudo de coorte de nascimentos MINA-Brasil: Materno-INfantil no Acre (artigos 2, 3 e 4). Mães e seus bebês nascidos entre julho de 2015 e de junho de 2016 na única maternidade do município de Cruzeiro do Sul foram convidados a participar do estudo. As participantes foram entrevistadas logo após o parto e em avaliações de seguimento aos 30-45 dias, 6 meses, 1 e 2 anos sobre dados socioeconômicos, demográficos, práticas alimentares e condições de saúde e morbidade materno-infantil. Regressão de Poisson com estimativas robustas, regressão linear (artigo 2 e 3), e modelos de regressão de Cox estendido (artigo 4) foram utilizados para investigar as associações de interesse. As análises foram realizadas em Stata 15.0, ao nível de significância de p<0,05. Resultados: No artigo 1, foram selecionados 17 estudos originais. Apesar das diferenças metodológicas entre eles, em relação ao tipo e tamanho de amostra, a definição do AME e método de mensuração, os resultados indicam alta taxa de início da amamentação (≥86%) e ampla variação da ocorrência de AME aos 30 dias de vida (4,5%- 86%), com declínio substancial (<60%) em 63% dos locais investigados. No artigo 2, seguindo as recomendações do Instituto de Medicina (IOM, n = 1305), a frequência de GPG insuficiente e excessivo foram semelhantes (32%). O GPG excessivo foi associado a maior escore-z de peso ao nascer (PN); maior risco de macrossomia, grande para a idade gestacional (GIG) e cesariana; e menor risco de baixo peso ao nascer (BPN) e ser pequeno para a idade gestacional (PIG). O GWG insuficiente foi associado a escore-z de PN mais baixo. Entre as mulheres com IMC pré-gestacional normal (n = 658), o GPG inapropriado foi elevado segundo o IOM (66%) e o Intergrowth-21st (42%). Ambos os métodos indicaram que os recém-nascidos de mulheres com GPG excessivo apresentaram maiores escore-z de PN, e maior risco de macrossomia e GIG. Mulheres com GPG abaixo dos padrões intergrowth-21st tiveram maior probabilidade de dar à luz um bebê PIG e com escores-z de PN mais baixos. No artigo 3 (n = 743), o GPG excessivo e o AM<1 ano foram associados a maior escore-z de IMC aos 2 anos de idade após ajuste por covariáveis. No artigo 4 (n = 1145), a probabilidade de AME até 6 meses foi 11,8% e a de AM até 2 anos 34,5%. Entre crianças nascidas a termo, os preditores da interrupção precoce do AME foram a mãe ser primípara, alimentar o bebê com pré-lácteos, o uso de chupeta no período perinatal e a ocorrência de diarreia nas duas primeiras semanas de vida. Os preditores da interrupção precoce do AM foram a criança ser do sexo masculino, o uso de chupeta no período perinatal e o AME menor a 3 meses. Conclusão: Entre crianças amazônicas brasileiras a duração das práticas de aleitamento materno foi consideravelmente menor do que as recomendações internacionais. Os preditores para a interrupção precoce da amamentação identificados nesta coorte de nascimentos devem ser considerados para avaliar estratégias locais e desenvolver intervenções para alcançar um comportamento ideal de amamentação.
Introduction: Early life feeding practices can directly affect infant development, growth, and survival. Among the indicators for child health proposed by the World Health Organization, the frequency and duration of breastfeeding (BF) practices up to two years of life, and related factors, are fundamental for monitoring actions for the promotion, protection, and support of breastfeeding. Objectives: a) To identify the evidence available in longitudinal studies on the frequency of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) at 30 days of life (article 1); b) To investigate the association between gestational weight gain (GWG) and perinatal outcomes in Amazonian pregnant women (article 2); c) To examine the role of excessive GWG and breastfeeding practices on body mass index (BMI) at 2 years of age in the first population-based birth cohort in the Brazilian Amazon (article 3); and d) To identify the predictors of EBF interruption before six months of life and BF before two years of age in Amazonian children (Article 4). Methods: We performed an integrative literature review (article 1) and analysis of data from the MINA- Brazil birth cohort study: Maternal and Child in Acre (articles 2, 3 and 4). Mothers and their babies born between July 2015 and June 2016 in the only maternity hospital in the municipality of Cruzeiro do Sul were invited to participate in the study. Participants were assessed shortly after delivery and at follow-up visits at 30-45 days, 6 months, 1 and 2 years of childs age about socioeconomic and demographic data, dietary practices, health conditions, and maternal and child morbidity. Poisson regression with robust estimates, linear regression (article 2 and 3), and extended Cox regressions analyses (article 4) were run to investigate the associations of interest. Analyses were performed in Stata 15.0, at a significance level of p<0.05. Results: In article 1, 17 original studies were selected. Despite the methodological differences between them, regarding type and size of the sample, the definition of EBF, and the method of measurement, the results indicate a high rate of initiation of breastfeeding (≥86%) and a wide variation in the occurrence of EBF at 30 days of life (4.5%-86%), with substantial decline (<60%) in 63% of the investigated sites. In article 2, following the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations (n = 1305), the frequencies of insufficient and excessive GWG were similar (32%). Excessive GWG was associated with higher new-born birthweight (BW) z-scores; increased risk of macrosomia, large for gestational age (LGA), and cesarean delivery; and lower risk of low birth weight (LBW) and being small for gestational age (SGA). Insufficient GWG was associated with lower new-born BW z-scores. Among women with normal pre- pregnancy BMI (n = 658), inappropriate GWG was high according to the IOM (66%) and the Intergrowth-21st (42%). Both methods indicated that new-born of women with excessive GWG had higher BW z-scores, and a higher risk of macrosomia and LGA. Women with GWG below intergrowth-21st standards were more likely to give birth to an SGA baby and with lower BW z-scores. In article 3 (n = 743), excessive GWG and BF <1 year were associated with higher BMI z-score at 2 years of age after adjustment for covariates. In article 4 (n = 1145), the probability of EBF up to 6 months and BF up to 2 years were 11.8% and 34.5%, respectively. Among children born at term, the predictors of early EBF interruption were the mother being primiparous, feeding the baby with prelacteal food, use of a pacifier in the perinatal period, and occurrence of diarrhea in the first two weeks of life. The predictors of early BF interruption were a male child, use of pacifier in the perinatal period, and EBF for less than 3 months. Conclusion: Among Brazilian Amazonian children, the duration of breastfeeding practices was considerably shorter than the international recommendations. Predictors for early cessation of breastfeeding identified in this birth cohort should be considered to assess local strategies and develop interventions to achieve optimal breastfeeding behavior.

Objective: This study provides an overview of the perceptions of primary care professionals on how the current primary health care (PHC) attributes in Spain could influence health-related responses to intimate partner violence (IPV). Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with 160 health professionals working in 16 PHC centres in Spain. Data were analysed using a qualitative content analysis. Results: Four categories emerged from the interview analysis: those committed to the PHC approach, but with difficulties implementing it; community work relying on voluntarism; multidisciplinary team work or professionals who work together?; and continuity of care hindered by heavy work load. Participants felt that person-centred care as well as other attributes of the PHC approach facilitated detecting IPV and a better response to the problem. However, they also pointed out that the current management of the health system (workload, weak supervision and little feedback, misdistribution of human and material resources, etc.) does not facilitate the sustainability of such an approach. Conclusion: There is a gap between the theoretical attributes of PHC and the reality of how these attributes are managed in everyday work, and how this influences IPV care (AU)
Objetivo: Este estudio presenta las percepciones de profesionales de atención primaria sobre cómo los atributos de la atención primaria en España pueden influenciar las respuestas sanitarias a la violencia del compañero íntimo (VCI). Métodos: Estudio cualitativo con entrevistas semiestructuradas con 160 profesionales sanitarios de 16 centros de atención primaria en España. Los datos se analizaron con el enfoque de análisis de contenido. Resultados: Del análisis de las entrevistas emergieron cuatro categorías: Implicados/as con el enfoque de primaria, pero enfrentando dificultades para implementarlo; El trabajo comunitario depende del voluntarismo; ¿Trabajo multidisciplinario o profesionales que trabajan juntos?; y Continuidad amenazada por la sobrecarga de trabajo. Los participantes consideraron que la atención centrada en la persona y otros atributos del enfoque de atención primaria facilitaban la detección de VCI y una mejor respuesta a este problema. Sin embargo, también reconocieron que la forma en que se gestionan los servicios sanitarios (sobrecarga de trabajo, débil supervisión y escaso feed-back, distribución de los recursos humanos y materiales, etc.) no facilita la sostenibilidad de este enfoque. Conclusión: Existe una brecha entre los atributos teóricos de la atención primaria y la «realidad» de cómo estos atributos se gestionan en la actividad profesional del día a día y de qué manera esta influye en la atención a la VCI (AU)

Objective To propose how to incorporate equity issues, using the GRADE approach, into the development and implementation of Colombian Clinical Practice Guidelines. Methodology This proposal was developed in four phases: 1. Included a literature review and the development of a preliminary proposal about how to include equity issues; 2. Involved an informal discussion to reach a consensus on improving the first proposal; 3. Was a survey of the researchers' acceptance levels of the proposal, and; 4. A final informal consensus was formed to adjust the proposal. Results A proposal on how to incorporate equity issues into the GRADE approach was developed. It places particular emphasis on the recognition of disadvantaged populations in the development and implementation of the suggested guideline. PROGRESS-Plus is recommended for use in exploring the various categories of disadvantaged people. The proposal suggests that evidence be rated differentially by giving higher ratings to studies that consider equity issues than those that do not. The proposal also suggests the inclusion of indicators to monitor the impacts of the implementation of CPGs on disadvantaged people. Conclusions A consideration of equity in the development and implementation of clinical practice guidelines and quality assessments of the evidence would achieve more in the participation of potential actors in the process and reflect on the effectiveness of the proposed interventions across all social groups.(AU)

Introdução - As práticas de alimentação no início da vida podem afetar diretamente o estado nutricional, crescimento, desenvolvimento e a sobrevivência infantil. Entre os indicadores de saúde infantil propostos pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, a prevalência do aleitamento materno exclusivo até 6 meses de idade (AME: quando a criança recebe somente leite materno direto da mama, ordenhado, ou de ama de leite, sem outros líquidos ou sólidos, com exceção de gotas ou xaropes contendo vitaminas, sais de reidratação oral, suplementos minerais ou medicamentos, podendo ser desagregado nos grupos etários 0-1, 2-3, 4-5 e 0-3 meses) é fundamental para o monitoramento das ações para promoção, proteção e apoio à amamentação. Objetivos - Investigar a prevalência e os fatores associados à prática de AME aos 30 dias de vida em Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre. Métodos - Análise de dados do estudo de coorte de nascimentos MINA-Brasil: Materno-INfantil no Acre. Entre julho de 2015 e junho de 2016, mães internadas para parto no Hospital Estadual da Mulher e da Criança do Juruá do município de Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, foram entrevistadas sobre dados socioeconômicos, demográficos e história de saúde após aceite à participação no estudo. Para a presente análise, o desfecho de interesse -aleitamento materno exclusivo aos 30 dias de vida?, foi obtido 30 a 45 dias após o parto por meio de entrevista telefônica e classificado segundo critério da OMS (2010). Medidas de tendência central e dispersão, frequências absolutas e relativas, intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) e teste de homogeneidade χ2 foram calculados segundo prática do AME. A análise de sobrevida por meio do estimador Kaplan-Meier foi utilizada para estimar a probabilidade e o efeito de fatores associados à prática do aleitamento materno exclusivo aos 30 dias de vida. O efeito dos preditores sobre a duração do AME no primeiro mês foi investigado em modelos múltiplos de regressão tempo de vida acelerado. A análise estatística foi realizada com auxílio do pacote estatístico Stata 14.0 ou superior, ao nível de significância de p<0,05. Resultados - No total, 962 mães responderam a entrevista telefônica de acompanhamento no puerpério. A prevalência de AME aos 30 dias de vida foi 36,7% e o tempo mediano para os que interromperam o AME nesse intervalo foi 16 dias. Quando consideradas todas as crianças nascidas no período e elegíveis ao seguimento, a probabilidade de AME aos 30 dias foi 43,7% e a mediana de AME foi 30 dias. Os fatores associados à duração do AME no período estudado foram: número de filhos vivos, uso de chupeta e história de chiado no peito. Observou-se que a duração do AME (time ratio - TR) foi 28% mais prolongada entre os bebês que tinham irmãos (1,28; IC95% 1,11-1,48). O uso de chupeta e história de chiado no peito foram associados à redução no tempo de AME em 33% (0,67; IC95% 0,58-0,78) e 20% (0,80; IC95% 0,69-0,93), respectivamente. Conclusões - A prática de aleitamento materno exclusivo aos 30 dias de vida em Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, foi aquém das recomendações nacionais e internacionais. Mães primíparas interromperam o AME mais precocemente durante o primeiro mês quando comparadas às mães com mais de um filho; bebês que usaram chupeta ou apresentaram história de chiado no peito apresentaram menor duração do AME no primeiro mês de vida. Dada a importância do AME para a saúde materno-infantil e para a duração total do AM, os resultados deste estudo evidenciam a necessidade de ações intensivas para promoção, apoio e proteção da amamentação antes do primeiro mês de vida nesta população
Introduction - Early life feeding practices can directly affect nutritional status, growth, development, and child survival. Among the indicators of child health proposed by the World Health Organization, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months of age (EBF: when the baby receives only breastmilk, including milk expressed or from a wet nurse, without other liquids or solids, except for drops or syrups containing vitamins, oral rehydration salts, mineral supplements or medicines, which can be disaggregated in the age groups 0-1, 2-3, 4-5 and 0-3 months) is essential for monitoring actions to promote, protect and support breastfeeding. Objectives - To investigate the prevalence and factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding at 30 days of life in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre. Methods - Data analysis of the MINA-Brazil birth cohort study in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre state, Western Brazilian Amazon. Mothers of babies born from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 at the only maternity hospital in the region were enrolled in this study after signing a free, informed consent form. Women were interviewed soon after giving birth and by telephone at 30-45 days postpartum. Socioeconomic, demographic, obstetric, infant feeding practices, child health and lifestyle data were collected. The outcome of interest was exclusive breastfeeding at 30 days of life, classified according to WHO guidelines (2010). Descriptive statistical data, 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) and chi-square tests were calculated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to estimate the median duration and the probability of EBF at the end of the first month of life. In order to explore factors associated with time to EBF cessation, accelerated failure-time (AFT) models were run, following a conceptual framework hierarchical model for determinants of EBF. <0.05. Results - During the follow-up period, 962 mothers answered the postpartum telephone interview. The prevalence of EBF at 30 days of life was 36.7% and the median duration was 16 days. Considering all children born in the study period and eligible for follow-up, the probability of EBF in the first month of life was 43.7% and the median duration was 30 days. Factors associated with time to EBF cessation were: having one or more children, pacifier use and history of wheezing. It was observed that duration of EBF (time-ratio - TR) was 28% longer among infants who had siblings (1.28; 95% CI, 1.11-1.48). Use of a pacifier and history of wheezing were associated with reduced EBF duration by 33% (0.67, 95% CI 0.58-0.78) and 20% (0.80, 95% CI 0.69-0.93), respectively. Conclusions - The exclusive breastfeeding practice at 30 days of life in Cruzeiro do Sul was considerably below nacional and international recommendations. Primiparous mothers stopped EBF earlier in the first month when compared to mothers with more than one child; infants who used pacifiers or had history of wheezing presented higher risk of not being exclusively breastfed in the first month of life. Given the importance of EBF for maternal and child health and for total duration of breastfeeding, the results of this study may provide a basis for intensive actions to promote, support and protect breastfeeding before the first month of life in this population

Con el objetivo de identificar las metodologías para incorporar las consideraciones de equidad durante el desarrollo de una Guía de Practica Clínica (GPC) se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura. De 940 artículos identificados 24 cumplieron los criterios de selección. No se encontraron artículos metodológicos que describieran o evaluaran una metodología explicita para incorporar las consideraciones de equidad. Algunos estudios dan recomendaciones generales con algunas estrategias de acuerdo a la etapa del desarrollo de las guías. Se consideran factores importantes para la incorporación de consideraciones de equidad: 1. vincular la población objetivo durante todas las fases desarrollo de GPC, 2. el análisis y adaptación al contexto cultural que propendan por la aplicación de intervenciones sin disparidades por barreras culturales y con resultados clínicos más equitativos, 3. considerar los factores psicosociales que podrían afectar la implementación y los resultados de las GPC, 4. considerar las inequidades del sistema de salud en su conjunto de modo que se promueva intervenciones dirigidas a conductas de riesgo y barreras para la salud debidas a factores socioeconómicos. Se concluye que las GPC pueden favorecer la equidad en la atención en salud, si se incorporan los procesos mencionados, mediante la promoción de la estandarización de intervenciones y evitando diferencias innecesarias, evitables o injustas en la cantidad y calidad de la atención.
This systematic literature review sought to identify methodologies and technical strategies emphasising healthcare services and outcomes when incorporating the concept of equity into Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG). 940 references were identified, of which 20 fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected. While no reports were found describing or evaluating an explicit methodology for incorporating considerations of equity into CPG, some studies revealed related strategies or processes, summarised as follows: 1. Target population involvement during all phases of designing, implementing and evaluating CPG; 2. "Cultural capacity" seen as being necessary in CPGs' "cultural translation" for interventions to have less disparity regarding their application and results; 3. Considering psycho-social factors which could affect implementing CPG, and; 4. Considering system inequities so that any health intervention would also confront risks and obstacles to health care due to socioeconomic status. It was concluded that CPGs could be a potential route for promoting more equitable healthcare effects by standardising health interventions if, by incorporating some of the processes described above, they actively seek to avoid unjust differences in access to and/or the quality of the interventions that they prescribe.

Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) are useful tools for clinical decision making, processes standardization and quality of care improvements. The current General Social Security and Health System (GSSHS) in Colombia is promoting the initiative of developing and implementing CPG based on evidence in order to improve efficiency and quality of care. The reduction of inequalities in health should be an objective of the GSSHS. The main propose of this analysis is to argue why it is necessary to consider the incorporation of equity considerations in the development and implementation of clinical practice guidelines based on the evidence. A series of reflections were made. Narrative description was used for showing the arguments that support the main findings. Among them are: 1. Differential effectiveness by social groups of interventions could diminish final effectiveness of CPG in the GSSHS; 2. To not consider geographical, ethnic, socioeconomic, cultural and access diversity issues within the CPG could have a potential negative impacts of the CPG; 3. Overall effectiveness of GPC could be better if equity issues are included in the quality verification checklist of the guideline questions; 4. Incorporating equity issues in the process of developing CPG could be cost effective, because improve overall effectiveness of CPG. Conclusions To include equity issues in CPG can help in achieving more equitable health outcomes. From this point of view CPG could be key tools to promote equity in care and health outcomes.
Las Guías de Práctica Clínica (GPC) son herramientas útiles para la estandarización de los procesos de toma de decisions y los mejoramientos de la calidad del cuidado. El Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS) en Colombia está promoviendo la iniciativa de desarrollar e implementar GPC basadas en evidencia con la intención de mejorar la eficiencia y la calidad del cuidado. La reducción de las desigualdades en salud debe ser un objetivo del SGSSS. El principal propósito de este análisis es argumentar por qué es necesario considerar la incorporación de las consideraciones de equidad en el desarrollo e implementación de GPC basadas en evidencia. Para ello se hace una serie de reflexiones, usando descripción narrativa para mostrar los argumentos que soportan los principales hallazgos: 1. La efectividad diferencial por grupos sociales de las intervenciones, disminuye la efectividad final de las GPC en el SGSSS; 2. No considerar aspectos como diversidad geográfica, étnica, socioeconómica, cultural y de acceso dentro de las GPC podría tener un impacto negativo potencial de la GPC; 3. La efectividad global de la GPC puede ser mejor si los aspectos de equidad son incluidos en la lista de verificación de calidad de las preguntas de la GPC; 4. Incorporar los aspectos de equidad en el proceso de desarrollo de la GPC puede mejorar la costo efectividad, porque mejora la efectividad global de la GPC. Conclusiones Incluir la equidad como un aspecto a considerar en la GPC puede ayudar a lograr desenlaces de salud más equitativos. Desde este punto de vista, las GPC pueden ser herramientas que promuevan la equidad en el cuidado y en los desenlaces en salud.
