Cystic fibrosis-related mortality trends in Brazil for the 1999-2017 period: a multiple-cause-of-death study

Abstract: Objetivo: Descrever as causas de morte e dados sobre mortalidade relacionada à fibrose cística (FC) por meio da metodologia de causas múltiplas de morte. Métodos: Dados sobre a mortalidade anual no período de 1999 a 2017 foram extraídos do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. Foram selecionadas todas as declarações de óbito em que a categoria E84 (FC) da CID-10 foi citada como causa básica ou associada de morte. Foram descritos os dados epidemiológicos e clínicos e calcula… Show more

“…However, the increasing mortality trend might be related to an increased number of patients being diagnosed with CF as a result of increased newborn screening for CF in Brazil. The most important finding in the study by Santo et al 12 is the significant increase in the median age at death, probably due to advances in diagnosis and treatment.…”

“…In the current issue of the Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia , Santo et al 12 describe causes of death and mortality data related to CF in Brazil on the basis of data from death certificates. For the 1999-2017 period, the overall CF-related number of deaths was 2,854, with CF being reported as the underlying cause of death in 83.5% of the death certificates.…”

“…The impaired function of CFTR results in mucus thickening responsible for early and chronic bronchopulmonary inflammation and infection leading to acute pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) and chronic respiratory disorders, the main cause of death in people with CF. [2][3][4] PEx are broadly recognized as clinical periods of acutely worsening signs and symptoms of CF airways disease. 5 They are frequently but not exclusively related to respiratory infections requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics (ATB).…”

“…CF is related to the mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) genes which makes the protein that it encodes low or nonfunctional. The impaired function of CFTR results in mucus thickening responsible for early and chronic bronchopulmonary inflammation and infection leading to acute pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) and chronic respiratory disorders, the main cause of death in people with CF 2–4 …”
