Abstract

The goal is to identify the production of knowledge in nursing on the use of epidemiological indicator of Potential Life Years lost (APVP). This is a review of the BVH/Lilacs and Scielo literature bibliometric databases VHL/Lilacs and Scielo, by isolated descriptor: potential years of life lost, with complete articles in portuguese language, from 2007 to 2016. 46 articles were found and selected for reading in full 19 of them. The descriptive analysis of publications showed non-linearity of these in the last ten years, with a few peak years (2011/n=4; 2009/2012 and 2014, n=3 each). Most of the publications can be found in non-specific magazines for nursing (63.1%). External causes (63.2%) and the northeast of Brazil (n=10) were theme and most recurring scenario. Only two articles presented international collaboration and nurses has reached 39.5% of all authors. Epidemiological aspects affect the design of modern nursing nightingale. Thus, it is suggested that other reviews are carried out to a better delineation of these surveys in international scope and quality of publications.
