Objective:
To develop and validate indicators for the evaluation of computerized systems in vaccination rooms.
Methods:
Methodological study. From the construction of a logical model for managing information produced in computerized systems in vaccination rooms, an evaluation indicator matrix was developed, and its contents were validated by specialists using the Delphi method. The degree of relevance and clarity were judged, using the following parameters: agreement percentage ≥ 90%; content validity index > 0.78. Internal consistency was tested using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.93.
Results:
Of the 55 proposed indicators, 48 were validated and composed the final matrix, with 13 in the structure dimension, 29 in the process dimension, and six in the outcome dimension.
Conclusion:
The set of indicators shows validity and high reliability, and can be used to evaluate computerized systems in vaccination rooms throughout the country, as it adhered to the recommendations of the National Immunization Program.

Objective:
To verify the temporal trend of neonatal mortality in the health regions of Pernambuco between 2000 and 2020.
Method:
A time-series ecological study was conducted, analyzing the total neonatal mortality rate and its early and late components. For regression analysis, Joinpoint Regression was applied, trends were classified, and annual and average percentage changes were calculated for the period, with a significance level of 95%.
Results:
The average neonatal mortality rate in Pernambuco was 11.5 during the studied period. A decreasing trend in neonatal mortality rate was observed, especially in the early component. The region where the state capital is located showed the fastest decrease across all components.
Conclusion:
The temporal trend of neonatal mortality was decreasing; however, the rate of reduction was not uniform across the health regions of the state, and the implementation of the Mãe Coruja Pernambucana Program did not impact the trend in neonatal mortality.
