“…The different profile found in the proportion of GCs according to place of occurrence, with lower proportion in hospitals, was already expected, considering the greater ease of diagnosis after hospitalization 17 . Despite this, the proportion of GCs in hospitals remains high.…”

“…Previous studies showed that a higher proportion of ill-defined causes of death are found among the elderly and small children, are more concentrated in less-developed regions of the country and that most of them happened outside a health facility 1,25,31,33 . We should expect that the number of ill-defined causes of death would decrease as improvements in diseasediagnosis develop over time.…”

“…A maioria dos trabalhos sobre a qualidade da informação da causa de morte focaliza-se nas crianças, especialmente nos menores de um ano 15,16,23,24 , e em mulheres em idade reprodutiva 22,25,26,27 . Poucas são as análises voltadas para a população idosa 7,13 , sendo a maior parte baseada apenas nas causas mal definidas. Em recente artigo, Lima-Costa et al 11 analisam, além das causas mal definidas, as causas inespecíficas, porém, a população considerada restringe-se a uma coorte de idosos de Bambuí, município de Minas Gerais.…”

“…Um percentual elevado de óbitos por causas mal definidas prejudica a compreensão do padrão, nível e causalidade da mortalidade 4,7 . No Brasil, análises da situação de saúde dos idosos ficam comprometidas pela elevada propor-ção de causas mal definidas nesta faixa etária 13 , afetando, assim, o estudo geral da mortalidade no país, já que aproximadamente 60% do total de óbitos ocorridos anualmente correspondem a pessoas de 60 anos ou mais 7 .…”
