Analysis of mortality trends in children aged 0–14 in Brazil and the northeast macroregion: a time series study (2000–2019)
During the two decades studied, there was a significant reduction in mortality. However, the stagnation of rates since 2014 and the uneven profile of deaths indicate that social indicators and health actions were impacted by austerity measures, posing a challenge for the country in terms of maintaining, regionalizing, and strengthening effective public policies.
