This systematic review accompanied by a meta-analysis aimed to estimate the prevalence of syphilis in pregnant women in Brazil and describe its associated factors.
Following the establishment the search strategies and the registration of the review protocol in PROSPERO, we conducted a search for relevant articles in the Pubmed, LILACS, Science Direct, SciELO and Web of Science databases. Our inclusion criteria were cross-sectional studies published between 2005 and 2023, with no language restrictions. The combined prevalence of syphilis infection was estimated using the random effects model in the R Software with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) and p < 0.01 as statistically significant.
A total of 24 articles were recruited, which together investigated 221,884 women. The combined prevalence of syphilis in pregnant women in Brazil was 1.79% (95% CI: 1.24-2.57%), and the main factors associated with its occurrence were black and brown skin color, low education and factors related to the partner.
There was a high prevalence of syphilis in pregnancy in Brazil, mainly associated with socioeconomic factors.

To describe the mortality of female breast cancer in Brazil according to color, in the years 2000 and 2010.
A descriptive study in which demographic data were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The breast cancer death information in Brazil was collected from the Ministry of Health through the Mortality Information System (SIM). The crude mortality rates for female breast cancer were calculated according to color and age group, up to 49 years and ≥50 years. The results obtained were distributed into five geographical regions of the country (North, Northeast, Midwest, South and Southeast).
In Brazil, in women aged 50 or more, the highest crude mortality rates of breast cancer in 2000 were 62.6/100,000, 46.0/100,000 and 29.7/100,000 among yellow, white and black women, respectively. In women under 50 years in 2000, the crude mortality ranged from 2.0/100,000 among indigenous women to 6.8/100,000 among white women. After ten years, in women over 50 years, the crude mortality rate among yellow, white and black women was 21.5, 53.2 and 40.4 per 100,000, respectively. In the country's regions, the highest mortality rates of breast cancer were observed in white and black women from the South and Southeast. In the Northeast, mortality rates in black and brown women doubled in 2010.
Breast cancer mortality rates show ethnic and geographical variations. However, it is not possible to exclude the possibility that large variations have occurred as a result of improvement in the quality of information on mortality in the country.
