High values of maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and infant mortality are indicators of precarious socioeconomic conditions, low schooling and difficulty in accessing quality health services, constituting important goals for achieving sustainable development among countries. In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda was consolidated. This agenda has in its Objective 3 "to ensu…
Although fetal mortality is an increasingly important component of mortality in childhood, it is still insufficiently known, valued and studied as a public health problem, especially through approaches that integrate the biological, epidemiological and social dimensions. The proposed project aims to contribute to decreasing fetal mortality by increasing understanding of the complex networ…
Gastroschisis is an abdominal wall defect with evisceration of the abdominal organs, into the amniotic fluid, without peritoneal membrane covering the organs. The incidence has increased in the last decades, ranging from 4 to 5 per 10,000 live births, with an increase of 6% every 2 years, in the last 10 years. Although the outcome of gastroschisis is good, this malformation is associated …
Scientific dissemination, as a field of knowledge and strategy of action, facilitates and expands the possible dialogues between science and society. To ensure an inclusive and democratic discussion, it is essential to incorporate and engage with various sectors of society in debates related to the production of knowledge and scientific practices. The dialogue between researchers, manager…

In different countries, cultural difficulties related to necropsies in fetuses have contributed to the adoption of different protocols to establish the cause of death, which rely mainly on information from medical records. Under these conditions, the non-negligible proportion of death…
