“…(16,27) Interestingly, it was possible to qualify 67% of undetermined intent deaths relying on newspaper reports alone. (31) We also verified a reclassification of cases between external causes and natural causes as well as the reclassification of unintentional injury to other valid codes. This was most evident when looking at reclassification of ill-defined causes to external causes, obtained from national and local data; (10) where forensic institutes accounted for 20% of the ill-defined causes in 2010.…”

“…There is evidence of more reclassification of undetermined intent for accidents, specifically falls; (28,29) as well as more recent findings have shown more of these are classified to homicides. (16,27,30,31) Evidence has indicated that the utilization of multiple sources of information improves the results of GC reclassification, (27,30) although this still may not be sufficient for assigning a specific COD. (20) Thus, it was observed that certain sources contribute better to identifying a particular category of cause, e.g.…”

“…police investigations identifying homicides, or newspaper reports of recent traffic accidents, etc. (10,28,31) After more than 40 years of operation, SIM has its own challenges in modernization and in decentralizing in a relatively large country like Brazil; with some of its components being implemented partially inadequately. (32) The challenges may be greater in areas with poorer access to public services, especially small and medium-sized municipalities in countryside and rural areas.…”

Background: Accurate cause of death (COD) data are essential for policy and planning. Garbage codes (GCs), such as external causes with no further specific information, are commonly used as an indicator of poor quality of COD information. The investigation of GC using an effective instrument is necessary to convert them into useful data for public health. Aim: This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of the new investigation of deaths from external causes (IDEC) form, proposed by Ministry of Health, Brazil, to improve the quality of COD. Methods: The study compared the performance of the IDEC form on 164 external GC deaths with a stratified matched sample of 2,283 external GC deaths that used the existing standard GC form. The percentage of GCs that were reclassified into valid causes was calculated. Analyses according to subgroup (age, type of external cause) and exploration of the reclassifications of deaths between different cause groups were conducted. Qualitative data on the feasibility of the form were recorded by form users. Results: Investigation using the new form reduced all external GCs by 93% (95% confidence interval [CI] -97%, -88%), while the existing form decreased GCs by 66% (95% CI -68%, -64%). The IDEC form was most effective for external-cause GCs not of undetermined intent. Deaths that remained GCs were mainly due to a lack of detailed information on the circumstances of death, primarily poisoning and unspecified vehicle accidents occurring in a residence or on a road without witnesses. The IDEC form was found to be satisfactorily feasible in general, with specific suggestions for further improvement determined. Conclusions: The new form was more effective than the current standard form in reducing GCs and improving the quality of external causes. Feedback from the fieldwork highlighted opportunities for further improvement of external cause data.

“…Lower odds of nonspecific causes in the 10-49 years age range and in males may be associated with the occurrence of deaths due to non-natural causes, which is known to be higher among young male adults 32 . External causes tend to be better defined in relation to natural ones, either at the time of certification or coding, when additional information is usually available regarding the circumstances of the accident or violence that produced the fatal injury, recorded in police reports or accessible in newspapers and other means of dissemination, such as the internet 33,34 .…”

Resumo Objetivou-se investigar fatores associados à mortalidade por causas inespecíficas e mal definidas no estado do Amazonas (AM). Desenvolveu-se um estudo seccional incluindo 90.439 registros de óbitos não fetais, com residência e ocorrência no AM entre 2006 e 2012. Foram estimadas razões de chances de causas inespecíficas e mal definidas por meio de regressão logística multinomial hierárquica. A proporção de causas mal definidas e inespecíficas foi, respectivamente, 16,6% e 9,1%. A ocorrência de causas mal definidas diminuiu ao longo dos anos e a de causas inespecíficas somente no último biênio. As causas inespecíficas associaram-se com residência e ocorrência do óbito fora da capital, via pública, sexo feminino, dos 10 aos 49 anos, cor parda e quando atestadas por legistas. As causas mal definidas associaram-se com residência e ocorrência fora da capital, em domicílios, a partir de 40 anos, cor não branca, não ser solteiro, baixa escolaridade, assistência médica e falta de informação sobre o atestante. A mortalidade por causas mal definidas e inespecíficas no AM declinou entre 2006 e 2012, associando-se às dimensões espacial e temporal, fatores demográficos, socioeconômicos e à assistência médica na ocasião do óbito.

“…A mais comum e acessível ao público é aquela que considera a violência como uma questão policial e como um conjunto de eventos que alimentam as manchetes, a venda de jornais e os noticiários dos meios de comunicação (MINAYO, SOUZA 1998;SOUZA, 1994;STARK, 1990;VILLELA, 2012;ZUNINO, 2011).…”

Violence, particularly homicide, is considered to be a social plague and is also a public health problem of great magnitude and transcendence that causes a great impact on the morbimortality of the population. Thus, it is essential to understand its occurrence in the context of the life of the population and the space that evolves it as well. This study displays a hybrid and ecological design and a temporal tendency and aimed to obtain the special standard of the murdering according to the place of residence of the victims in the municipality of Itabuna-BA, from the year of 2006 to the year of 2012, and it's related to the Adapted Indicator of Living Condition in 2010.The population consisted of all the homicides cases of residents of the municipality that occurred during the study period. Mortality data was obtained from the Mortality Information System of the Ministry of Health and the information that composed the Indicator of Living Condition collected from the Demographic Census conducted in 2010, so that the unit of analysis is the census tract itself. Epidemiological indicators, Years of Potential Life Lost, thematic maps and the Kernel density estimator were obtained. In order to elaborate the Adapted Indicator of Living Conditions, the factor analysis was used in the strata of living conditions defined by the clustering technique (hierarchical cluster analysis). The Chi-square test and the odds ratio were calculated according to the socioeconomic level to verify the association between the homicides and the low living conditions. The ArcGIS 10 and SPSS 18 software were used. The increasing homicide rates observed over the analyzed years were 214%, and 94% of the homicide cases affected the male population. Among the male population, the growth affected mainly the younger men, aged 15-29 years old. The firearm was the responsible instrument for the homicides in 83% of the deaths. Regarding the variables that composed the Adapted Indicator, the highest loadings were the literate population over 10 years old (0,920); proportion of children under 5 years old (0,801) and literate population aged 10-14 years old (0,720). The municipality was classified into four clusters: high, medium, low and very low living conditions. The comparison between the maps of living condition and residence of the victims of homicide showed the relationship established between the phenomenon and the neediest urban areas. When the clusters were compared, the crude Odd Ratio was equal to 12,62 (RC=12,62; IC 95%:[4,78; 33,32]) and equals 6,93 to the clusters of medium and low living conditions (RC=7,93; IC 95%: [2,76; 17,4]). The homicide mortality rates observed in Itabuna reaches the same rates observed in the big cities of the country in the 1980s, which shows that the violent criminality phenomenon, once predominant only in the big urban centers, advances towards the countryside, causing changes in the map of homicidal violence in Brazil. The stratification of the municipality according to living conditions and special distribut...

Abstract: News in newspapers has great potential for qualifying and supplementing the information on the underlying cause of death due to external causes in the mortality information system, particularly regarding deaths due to traffic accidents.
