A situational diagnosis was performed on infant growth monitoring in Greater Metropolitan Recife and in the interior of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil, using the database from the Survey on Maternal and Child Health in the State of Pernambuco, 1998, which included 816 infants (< 1 year of age) and 120 health units. Epi Info version 6.04 was used for the analysis. In the health services infrastructure, 15.8% of the health units lacked infant scales and the Child's Health Card, and 75.4% lacked the guidelines for monitoring growth and development. Of these variables, the first two showed a difference between the two study areas. As for process evaluation, 81.2% of the mothers had the Child's Health Card, 53.1% of the children had been weighed, and only 21% had been measured. Mothers had received insufficient orientation. These variables also showed differences between the two study areas. Care for children with nutritional risk received little attention in the two areas, although there was a difference between the interior and Metropolitan Recife. In conclusion, monitoring of infant growth has not been effectively consolidated in the State of Pernambuco.
利用1998年伯南布哥州母婴健康调查数据库，对巴西累西腓大都市区和伯南布哥州内陆地区的婴儿生长监测进行了情境诊断，该数据库包含816名婴儿（<1岁）和120个卫生单位。分析使用了Epi Info 6.04版本。在卫生服务基础设施方面，15.8%的卫生单位没有婴儿秤和儿童健康卡，75.4%的单位缺乏生长发育监测指南。在这些变量中，前两个在两个研究区域之间存在差异。至于过程评估，81.2%的母亲有儿童健康卡，53.1%的儿童称过体重，只有21%的儿童量过身高。母亲们得到的指导不足。这些变量在两个研究区域之间也存在差异。尽管内陆地区和累西腓大都市区之间存在差异，但两个地区对有营养风险儿童的护理关注较少。总之，伯南布哥州的婴儿生长监测尚未有效巩固。
