OBJECTIVES: to identify factors associated with homicides in women who had prior notification of violence in the state of Pernambuco, 2011 to 2016.
METHODS: a transversal, quantitative and observational study, guided by the STROBE tool, with data of homicides of women obtained from the Mortality Information System; and of violence against women, from the Grievance Notification Information System. The logistic regression model was used to verify the factors associated with the homicides.
