[Using correspondence analysis to evaluate information records of the risk newborns]

This study aims to analyze in different information systems the quality of the information on infants enrolled in the High-Risk Newborn Vigilance Program. This is a cross-sectional study with quantitative analysis. Data was collected from the following forms and charts: the Newborn Montoring Form; Information System of Primary Care Forms, A and C; and forms of 505 children at risk in 23 Basic Health Units (UBS). Correspondence Analysis and Ascendant Hierarchical Classification were used to analyze data. The positive aspects observed refer to the adequacy of records. The results show that the quality of the activity records was adequate in 30% of UBS (Basic Units of Health), suggesting training and professional development of physicians and nurses referred to services and assistance programs, and complete records of routine home visits.
