FARIAS, Maria do Carmo Andrade Duarte de et al. Between the capture and dissemination of data: the importance of the DNV and its adequate completion. Rev. bras. crescimento desenvolv. hum. [online]. 2014, vol.24, n.2, pp. 150-156. ISSN 0104-1282.

INTRODUTION: The Information System on Live Birth (SINASC) aims to receive and disseminate information about the live births, the mothers, the gestation, birth, of the newborn; taking into consideration that the information about the live births of a country or a particular region is fundamental, because thebirths are part of the composition of variousdemographic and epidemiological indicators, such as the rates of infant mortality, low birth weight, birth rates and fecundity. OBJECTIVE: This research aimed to compare the data contained in the DNV (White duplicate) compared to the disclosed in the SINASC/DATASUS, in the municipality of Cajazeiras, PB (2006-2010). METHOD: It is a descriptive study, by means of revising the 3972 DNV from 2006 to 2010, archived in the sector of Epidemiologic Vigilance, and also the data disclosed in the SINASC, relating to the mothers residing in the referred municipality. RESULTS: It was perceived a significant flaw in the completion of the DNV and ambiguity between the SMS and DATASUS data, thereby jeopardizing the reliability and questioning the precision and completeness of the registers of this information system compared to the SMS ones. Thereby, in addition to the flaws in the adequate completion in of the DNV at the birth place, there were flaws in the electronic typing of the data. CONCLUSION: Thus, the results point to a need of the Municipal Health Department to promote training and guidance for the person responsible for the completion of the DNV and the electronic typing of the system, in order to achieve a total and correct completion of all the items of the DNV; emphasizing the importance of this document and its integral completion.
