“…Despite its limitations, consistent corrections in terms of geographical areas and their agreement with data from literature 3,10,18 confi rm that the method of correction used in this study provided a more realistic estimate of mortality rates from cervical cancer in Brazil.…”

“…The effectiveness of a population-based screening program depends not only on the performance of Pap smears, but especially on the capacity of health services to ensure treatment and follow-up of all patients with abnormal results. 18 However, our results show inadequate diagnostic ability in addition to inadequate cervical cancer prevention.…”

“…These results are consistent with the literature since higher death rates from cervical cancer are expected in less developed regions. 3,10,18 In addition, more corrections were expected in these Brazilian regions because they have the lowest reporting rates and the poorest quality of death certifi cates. f The percent variation of rates at each step of correction also showed a close relationship with prevalent socioeconomic conditions in the regions and their geographical areas (capital, interior and other cities of metropolitan areas).…”

OBJECTIVE:To develop a methodology for correction of reported cervical cancer deaths in Brazil.METHODS: Data on 9,607,177 cancer deaths were obtained from the Brazilian National Mortality Database for the period between 1996 and 2005. For correction of underreporting of deaths, factors generated by the Global Burden of Disease Study in Brazil-1998 were used. Proportional distribution was used in order to correct the categories of unknown, incomplete or ill-defi ned death diagnosis. The corrections were applied to each Brazilian state and the results were presented for Brazil nationwide, macroregions, and geographical areas (capital, other cities of metropolitan areas and interior cities) as percent variability of cervical mortality rates before and after correction. Corrections were analyzed by multivariate linear regression with interaction terms between macroregion and geographical area. RESULTS:After correction, cervical cancer mortality rates showed an increment of 103% nationwide, ranging between 35% (Southern region capitals) and 339% (Northeastern region interior cities). The reallocation of cervical cancer deaths not otherwise specifi ed resulted in greater mortality rate increments. The percent correction by year of death revealed steady trends nationwide. CONCLUSIONS:The study results showed that the proposed methodology was appropriate for the correction of cervical cancer mortality rates in Brazil. It evidenced that cervical cancer mortality is even higher than that reported.

“…7,13 "Health plan" in the sense of an outcome can be seen in the work of Lima-Costa et al 14 and Travassos et al 19 The fi rst shows greater uptake of preventative services among those who have private health insurance, regardless of sex and level of education. The second shows the probability of using health services by those segments covered by plans is greater than that of those without a plan, even after adjusting for age sex and morbidity.…”

“…However, various authors 6,7,8,9,10 have warned that for the country as a whole, mortality from this neoplasm has remained virtually stable in the last 30 years. Importantly, various countries have witnessed a drop in mortality from this type of cancer a few years after organized programs have been implemented 11 .…”
