abstract="OBJECTIVE: to describe the completeness of notifications of accidents involving venomous animals held on the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System (SINAN), in Brazil and its macro-regions, from 2007 to 2019. <br><br>METHODS: we analyzed essential and non-mandatory fields for snakebite, spider bite and scorpion sting notifications, considering the following completeness categories: Excellent (≤5.0% incompleteness), Good (5.0% to 10.0%), Regular (10.0% to 20.0%), Poor (20.0% to ≤50.0%) and Very Poor (>50.0%). Proportional change in completeness between 2007 and 2019 was estimated. <br><br>RESULTS: 1,871,462 notifications were investigated. The &quot;localized manifestations&quot;, &quot;systemic manifestations&quot;, &quot;case classification&quot;, &quot;case progression&quot; and &quot;zone of occurrence&quot; fields had excellent or good completeness. Completeness was regular or poor for the &quot;schooling&quot; and &quot;race/color&quot; fields. The &quot;occupation&quot; field was predominantly poorly or very poorly filled in. There was a proportional worsening in completeness (PC<0) in most regions for the &quot;zone of occurrence&quot;, &quot;case progression&quot; and &quot;schooling&quot; fields. <br><br>CONCLUSION: completeness of most fields improved, although socioeconomic and occupational fields require more attention.<p /> <p>Language: pt</p>",
