Apesar de importantes avan?os nos Sistemas de Informa??o, em especial o Sistema de Informa??o sobre Mortalidade (SIM), alguns estudos apontam fatores que comprometem a qualidade das informa??es, sobretudo os relacionados ? completude e ? consist?ncia. Esse estudo tem o objetivo de analisar a qualidade das investiga??es dos ?bitos infantis do munic?pio de Natal/RN, no per?odo de 2010 a 2015. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiol?gico do tipo transversal, de natureza explorat?ria e descritiva, que ser? realizado atrav?s de uma abordagem quantitativa. Foram utilizados os dados do SIM municipal, considerando o universo dos ?bitos de menores de um ano, de m?es residentes em Natal/RN, ocorridos entre os anos de 2010 a 2015. A completude e a consist?ncia foram analisadas a partir das vari?veis contidas na Declara??o de ?bito (DO) e na Ficha S?ntese (FS). Os resultados mostraram que ocorreu uma ascens?o gradual na propor??o de investiga??o dos ?bitos notificados ao longo dos anos do estudo, no entanto foram observados atrasos significativos para sua conclus?o. O preenchimento das vari?veis contidas na DO e na FS foi considerado satisfat?rio, entretanto algumas inconsist?ncias foram encontradas nos dados, mostrando a necessidade de melhorar a qualidade dos registros nas investiga??es. / The investigation of infant mortality is an important strategy that allows visibility to the profile of the deaths, and the good quality of the information is necessary to ensure the monitoring of deaths efficiency and support actions to control and prevention of new events. Despite important advances in information systems, in particular Information System Mortality (ISM), some studies point to factors that compromise the quality of information, especially those related to the completeness and consistency. This study aims to analyze the quality of investigations of infant deaths in the city of Natal/RN, in the period between 2010 and 2015. This is an epidemiological cross-sectional study, exploratory and descriptive, which will be held through a quantitative approach. The data of the municipal ISM were used, and included the deaths of children under one year of mothers living in Natal/RN, occurred the years between 2010 and 2015. The completeness and consistency were analyzed from the variables contained in Death Certificate (DC) and Summary Sheet (SS). The results showed that there was a gradual rise in the proportion of investigation of deaths reported over the years of the study, however were observed significant delays to completion. Fulfilment of the variables contained in the DC and SS was considered satisfactory, but some inconsistencies were found in the data showing the need to improve the quality of records in investigations.
