Mortalidade feminina por hipertensão: análise por causas múltiplas

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃO: A prevalência da hipertensão arterial vem crescendo no país, constituindo-se em um problema de saúde pública por sua magnitude e dificuldades no controle. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade dos dados sobre hipertensão como causa de morte e verificar o ganho de informação na mortalidade por hipertensão arterial de mulheres de 10 a 49 anos, por meio da metodologia de análise por causas múltiplas de morte. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Foi constituída uma base de dados com 7.332 óbitos ocorridos no primeiro semestre… Show more

“…8 The multiple causeof-death analysis is a more time-consuming, complex and costly approach but these methodological difficulties are fully paid off in view of its contribution to the knowledge of the actual epidemiological profile of a population. 7 The multiple cause-of-death mortality data in the present study showed that the average number of causes reported on DCs was 2.94. This is close to that found in studies conducted in the state of São Paulo 5 and in the city of Belo Horizonte, both in southeastern Brazil.…”

“…On the other hand, the approach of presenting multiple cause mortality statistics can provide a broader, more comprehensive overview of all causes of death. 7 The World Health Organization (WHO) defines underlying cause of death as (a) "the disease or injury that initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence that produced the injury." 4 Other causes known as associated causes of death include morbid conditions giving rise to the underlying cause (terminal and intervening causes in Part I of the medical certificate), and contributory causes of death (Part II), which are not related to the disease or condition directly causing death.…”

“…Mortality statistics according to underlying cause no longer show the total impact of a disease or aggravation in a set of deaths 38 . This study enabled this broader and more complete view, evidencing the presence of viral hepatitis B and C as associated causes, in order to contribute to the knowledge of the epidemiological profile of these diseases in our environment.…”

“…As estatísticas de mortalidade segundo causa básica deixam de mostrar o impacto total de uma doença ou agravo, em um conjunto de óbitos 38 . O presente estudo possibilitou esta visão mais ampla e completa, evidenciando a presença das hepatites virais B e C como causas associadas, de forma a contribuir para o conhecimento do perfil epidemiológico desses agravos em nosso meio.…”

“…In the Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy, diabetic individuals had excessive general mortality from DM and cardiovascular diseases, when compared to the general population (standardized mortality rates were 7.5, 191 and 9.1 times higher, respectively) 15 . The aging of the population associated with the higher prevalence of chronic--degenerative comorbidities, which usually have a long duration, may make it difficult for researchers to select a single underlying cause at the moment of death 18 , which can partly explain the underestimation of DM in the statistics of mortality by underlying cause of death. The methodology of multiple causes (MC) enabled an increase in the frequency of DM among deaths of 30% and 80%, when compared to the statistics of mortality from underlying cause (UC) in the special cohort (UC: 41.0% and MC: 52.6%) and population base (UC: 5.6% and MC: 10.0%) respectively.…”
