“…Mortality odds ratios were used to assess the odds of any-mention of a specific cause with other comorbidities at death. 9,35,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] Rate ratios were used to assess mortality burden according to whether another specific cause was present or absent, or to deaths in general. 58,59 In most cases the application of mortality odds ratios disregards the role of the cause, thereby enabling relationships between two non-UCs to be included in the assessment.…”

Background Research and reporting of mortality indicators typically focus on a single underlying cause of death selected from multiple causes recorded on a death certificate. The need to incorporate the multiple causes in mortality statistics - reflecting increasing multimorbidity and complex causation patterns - is recognised internationally. This review aims to identify and appraise relevant multiple cause analytical methods and practices. Methods We searched Medline, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science from inception to December 2020 without language restrictions, supplemented by consultation with international experts. Eligible articles included those analysing multiple causes of death from death certificates. The process identified 4,080 articles; after screening, 434 full texts were reviewed. Results Most reviewed articles (77%, n=332) were published since 2001. The majority examined mortality by 'any-mention' of a cause of death (87%, n=377) and assessed pairwise combinations of causes (56%, n=245). Recently emerging (since 2001) were applications of methods to group deaths based on common cause patterns using, for example, cluster analysis (2%, n=9), and the application of multiple cause weights to re-evaluate mortality burden (1%, n=5). Multiple cause methods applied to specific research objectives are described for recently emerging approaches. Conclusion This review confirms rapidly increasing international interest in the analysis of multiple causes of death and provides the most comprehensive overview of methods and practices to date. Available multiple cause methods are diverse but suit a range of research objectives, that with greater data availability and technology could be further developed and applied across a range of settings.

“…1 Deaths due to syphilis fell from 20,000 per year in the 1930’s to 40 per year since 2000. 2, 3 Disease rates have also decreased, but current levels have not been accurately quantified because surveillance focuses on rates of infection, not complications. Therefore, descriptions of syphilis continue to cite old rates and note that they have since decreased.…”

“…In North America and Western Europe, the incidence of syphilis has increased dramatically in the last decade among men who have sex with men, particularly those with coexisting HIV infection 1 . The United States of America, after reaching a historic minimum rate in 2000, has been showing a constant increase since then; however, with a decrease in mortality, possibly due to early detection and improved access to health services 2 . In South America, an adverse situation is observed in Brazil, especially when congenital syphilis is considered.…”

Objectives: to investigate factors associated with the occurrence of congenital syphilis in pregnant women with syphilis and to describe the cases of this disease regarding the justification for notification and aspects related to the newborn. Method: cohort study, with data collection between July and September 2017 which included 158 pregnant women diagnosed with syphilis during pregnancy, reported between 2013 and 2015. The characteristics of pregnant women and newborns are presented descriptively. The outcome under study was the occurrence or not of congenital syphilis. Sociodemographic exposure variables related to prenatal care and the adequacy of maternal syphilis treatment were analyzed by the stepwise selection criteria, and those that presented p<0.20, included in adjusted analysis, when critical p <0.05 was adopted. Results: most pregnant women with syphilis were white, had nine or more years of schooling and did not work. Among the participants, 74 (46.8%) had a newborn with congenital syphilis. Independently, the number of prenatal consultations was the only factor associated with congenital syphilis: as the number of consultations increased, the occurrence decreased (p=0.013, OR=0.87, 95%CI=0.79-0.97). The non-treatment of the mother and partner were the most frequent justifications for defining the case of congenital syphilis, and 33 newborns with syphilis presented complications at birth. Conclusion: considering the association with the number of prenatal consultations, in order to reduce cases of congenital syphilis, the municipality should modify the follow-up in this period, offering consultations, developing health education actions, implementing diagnostic investigation and appropriate treatment for pregnant women, and partnership when necessary.
