Análise da mortalidade e das internações por doenças cardiovasculares em Niterói, entre 1998 e 2007

Abstract

This study has clarified some aspects of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Niterói. The reduction in population and hospital mortality from IHD indicates that there is a better approach in this condition. Increased mortality rate from cerebrovascular diseases and HF points to the need to give greater attention to the quality of hospital care for these groups of diseases.

Hospital morbidity in a medium-sized city: differentials between men and women

“…Concerning hospitalizations due to diseases of the circulatory system, a study based on SIH/SUS data identified the reduced hospitalization coefficient in Niterói, between 1998 and 2007, between male and female individuals between 30 and 59 years of age ( 21 ) . Nevertheless, the coefficient continued higher among men, similar to the present study findings as from the second triennium.…”

Mortality due to diseases of the circulatory system among the elderly population in Brazilian Amazon: temporal and spatial analysis

“…shows decrease in mortality rates among men and women in all age groups, however, this tendency diminishes with age and there is an increase in mortality rates from cerebrovascular disease can be observed 29 . During the period analyzed by Lima and Costa et al 25 , from 1980 to 1991, in a mortality diagnosis among the elderly in Brazil, diseases of the circulatory system appear in the first position among the causes of mortality, significantly increasing with age.…”

Estudo comparativo de mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares em São Caetano do Sul (SP), Brasil, no período de 1980 a 2010

“…Although some studies show a decrease in CVD deaths 1,[3][4][5][6][7][8]11,[19][20][21] , possibly due to accelerated economic development, bringing with it better living conditions and less exposure to infections during the perinatal period 4 , such deaths may present themselves in a non-homogeneous manner within the population groups of a given country, as mentioned by Frank et al 22 . Reinforcing these findings, Mansur et al 19 found an increase in the risk of death due to these diseases in the less developed states of the country, which agrees with the study by Farias et al 23 , which suggests that despite a decrease in recent years, these deaths may show different patterns in the different socioeconomic groups.…”
