摘要：The present study was aimed to retrieve and analyse the temporal trends of congenital syphilis (CS) in Brazil, as well as to list its main associated factors. Methods: In August 2019 a systematic review was developed in four electronic databases (Lilacs, Pubmed, Scielo and Web of Science) and in manual searches on reference lists. It was established that the synthesis of this review would be composed by ecological studies with CS temporal trends in the Brazilian territory, regardless of the population characteristics and data representativeness. More specifically, it was also established that the prevalence of CS of the first and last year of the time series would be presented in the descriptive synthesis. Results: Of the 2,157 initial studies, 14 adequately met the inclusion criteria and composed the synthesis. Twelve (85.7%) of these studies showed increases in time trends, with particular emphasis on the two nationwide studies, which showed positive trends between 2003–2008 (0.4) and 2010–2015 (3.7). Associations were found between CS and socioeconomic and ethnic factors, especially in the groups of women with low income, low education, brown / black skin colour and who had untreated partners. Conclusion: most of the available research showed an increase in the temporal trends of CS, highlighting that these data were observed at the national, state and municipal levels. Since mothers' socioeconomic and ethnic factors are associated with higher CS frequencies, efforts are needed to increase the coverage of the Unified Health System to vulnerable women.
