ABSTRACT
Abstract

Objectives:

to analyze the difference among geographical units and the evolution of infant mortality rate (IMR) based on Ecuadorian censuses (1990-2001-2010).

Methods:

artificial Neural Network analyzed the impact of sociodemographic factors over the variability of IMR. Poisson regression analyzed the variation of the standardized IMR (sIMR).

Results:

the decrease in the national IMR was 63.8%; however, 42.8% provinces showed an increase in 2001-2010. The variability was explained mainly by illiteracy decrease. The adjusted RR between provincial sIMR with illiteracy and poverty revealed a trend towards the unit.

Conclusions:

the variation of IMR reflects a complex interaction of the sociodemographic factors.
RESUMEN
Resumen

Objetivos:

analizar las diferencias de la evolución de la tasa de mortalidad infantil (TMI) entre unidades geográficas basada en los censos ecuatorianos (1990-2001-2010).

Métodos:

la red neuronal artificial analizó el impacto de los factores sociodemográficos sobre la variabilidad de la TMI. La regresión de Poisson analizó la cuantificación de la variación de la TMI estandarizada (TMIs).

Resultados:

la disminución en la TMI nacional fue de 63.8%; sin embargo, 42.8% de las provincias mostraron un incremento en el periodo 2001-2010. La variabilidad se explica principalmente por la disminución del analfabetismo. El RR ajustado entre TMIs provincial con analfabetismo y pobreza reveló una tendencia hacia la unidad.

Conclusiones:

la variación de la TMI refleja una interacción compleja de los factores sociodemográficos estudiados.
