  • Scientific production on health inequalities using the Brazilian Information System on Live Births: A scoping review

    Open Access•F Solano Costa, Luiza Eunice Sá Da Silva et al.•ARTICLE•Cadernos de Saude Publica•2026

    The Brazilian Information System on Live Births (SINASC) is widely used by health managers to plan and monitor maternal and child health programs. Scientific research using SINASC data is also essential to identify underexplored topics that warrant further investigation. This study aims to describe the profile of scientific output based on SINASC data and to determine gaps in the literature, with particular attention to studies addressing health …

  • Exacerbation of antenatal care inequities as coverage recommendations rise in Brazil: Evidence for the inverse equity hypothesis from national health information system data (Sinasc) in 2023

    Open Access•Luiza Eunice Sá Da Silva, Janaína Calu Costa et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2026

    Within-country inequalities in antenatal care (ANC) coverage are widely documented. With recent international guidelines recommending eight or more visits, we hypothesized that this increase could reveal wider inequalities in Brazil, consistent with the Inverse Equity Hypothesis, which postulates that new interventions initially widen socioeconomic gaps because privileged groups are the first to adopt them. We assess how the magnitude of inequali…

    Open Access•Tim Groteclaes, Saifuddin Ahmed et al.•ARTICLE•BMJ Global Health•2025

    INTRODUCTION: Afghanistan's healthcare system faces geopolitical instability and inequities in maternal and child health (MCH) services, particularly associated with a temporary collapse in funding in 2021. We analysed coverage levels and spatiotemporal trends in sociodemographic inequalities in the country using data from the 2010/2011 and 2022/2023 Afghan Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys. METHODS: The study's primary outcome was an adapted Co…

  • Timely initiation of antenatal care in adolescent victims of sexual violence: Implications for legal abortion in Brazil

    Open Access•Luiza Eunice Sá Da Silva, Janaína Calu Costa et al.•ARTICLE•Ciência & Saúde Coletiva•2025

  • Demand for family planning satisfied by modern methods in Ghana: Trends and inequalities (2013–2022)

    Open Access•Akua Amponsaa Obeng, Cauane Blumenberg et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    Reductions in educational and wealth-related inequalities in mDFPS coverage have been observed over time; however, persistent challenges emphasize the need for targeted interventions. Prioritizing equitable access for poorer, less educated women and addressing regional disparities, particularly in the Northern region of Ghana, are crucial to achieving inclusive family planning services

  • Learning from success: The main drivers of the maternal and newborn health transition in seven positive-outlier countries and implications for future policies and programmes

    Open Access•Oona Maeve Renee Campbell, Agbessi Amouzou et al.•ARTICLE•BMJ Global Health•2024

    Currently, about 8% of deaths worldwide are maternal or neonatal deaths, or stillbirths. Maternal and neonatal mortality have been a focus of the Millenium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals, and mortality levels have improved since the 1990s. We aim to answer two questions: What were the key drivers of maternal and neonatal mortality reductions seen in seven positive-outlier countries from 2000 to the present? How generalisa…
