Abstract

RESUMOObjetivo: Analisar a completude dos dados do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade sobre os óbitos por suicídio em idosos no estado da Bahia, no período de 1996 a 2010. Mé-todos: Estudo epidemiológico, de desenho ecológico, com base em dados dos óbitos de idosos por suicídios, no estado da Bahia, disponibilizados no Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade, referentes ao período de 1996 a 2010, sendo calculada a incompletude das variáveis relacionadas aos óbitos e analisada por meio de um escore. Realizou-se análise de tendência temporal dos dados de incompletude por meio da estimação de modelos de regressão polinomial, utilizando o programa SPSS 15.0, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Registrou-se no período um total de 625 casos de suicídio em idosos. As taxas de não completude oscilaram de acordo com a variável e o ano, destacando-se raça/cor, escolaridade, fonte de informação e assistência médica como aquelas com os maiores índices de não preenchimento. Houve tendência decrescente para a não completude dos dados quanto a grau de instrução, raça/cor, fonte da informação e realização de necropsia para confirmação da causa básica do óbito. Para as demais variáveis não foram encontrados valores estatisticamente significantes nos modelos testados. Conclusão: Verificou-se melhoria na completude dos dados de suicídios em idosos na Bahia, sendo observadas tendências decrescentes ou não significativas estatisticamente.
