Abstract
Objective: To identify the opportunity gap with the BABIES method using perinatal mortality rates. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed with the Perinatal and Neonatal Epidemiological Surveillance Database. Perinatal mortality rates by districts and by areas of possible intervention were determined according to the BABIES method. Results: The district of Independencia had the lowest mortality rate, with 6.1 and 5.9 per 100 live births in the years 2014 and 2015, respectively. The priority area of intervention in the district of Comas was maternal health and in Carabayllo, care during pregnancy. Conclusions: The BABIES method allows us to identify the opportunity gap which can guide us to perform interventions at the local level.

Reyes 1,a ; Judith Cahuana-Aparco ; 1,2,b Paul Jesús Tejada-Llacsa* 2,b RESUMEN Objetivo: Identificar la “Brecha de Oportunidad” mediante el método BABIES con el empleo de tasas de mortalidad perinatal. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal con la Base de datos de Vigilancia Epidemiológica Perinatal y Neonatal. Se determinó las tasas de mortalidad perinatal por distritos y por áreas de posible intervención según método BABIES. Resultados: La tasa de mortalidad más baja se encontró en el distrito de Independencia (6,1 por 100 nacimientos vivos en 2014, y 5,9 en 2015, respectivamente). El área prioritaria de intervención en el distrito de Comas fue salud materna, y en Carabayllo, Cuidado durante el embarazo. Conclusiones: El método BABIES permite identificar la Brecha de Oportunidad para poder dirigir intervenciones a nivel local.
