And in this sense, the metropolitan region of the Baixada Santista has presented the worst pointers of child mortality in São Paulo State in recent years.

The study of the infant mortality distribution triggers off health interventions destined for motherly and child health population. Part of the system allows upgrade and integrate the deaths data and live births in management reports (tables, graphs and maps), which can be used to present the information in the course of the infant mortality study in a municipality or microregion and not only to record the results after study completion. The system used a simple computational tool capable of analyzing and recognizing place and time patterns from different sources at different time, at multiple scales and thus gives managers a computing environment capable of monitoring and analyzing infant deaths patterns in the region. The system constructed was evaluated and considered effective in their proposal. It was observed that the use of the proposed system assists in improving the activities and management of health resources, contributing to the municipal health surveillance modernization, with emphasis on improving the quality of information.
