“…In a context of low testing and lack of standardization in data notification, a technical note pointed out rates of underreporting of deaths in Santa Catarina during the COVID-19 pandemic near 278%. 16 The excess deaths found in this study was 27.4% higher than the number of cumulative deaths due to COVID-19 and reported by the state. A possible explanation for this lies in the fact that excess deaths are not an indicator affected by the classification of causes of death, therefore they have not been affected by the high underreporting.…”

Objective: to estimate excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic in the state of Santa Catarina and its macro-regions, Brazil, 2020-2021. Methods: this was an ecological study, using data from the Mortality Information System; excess deaths in adults were calculated by the difference between the observed number of deaths and expected number of deaths, taking into account the average of deaths that occurred between 2015 and 2019; the variables “macro-region of residence”, “quarter”, “month”, “sex” and “age group” were analyzed; data were analyzed in a descriptive manner. Results: a total of 6,315 excess deaths in 2020 and 17,391 in 2021, mostly in males (57.4%) and those aged 60 years and older (74.0%); macro-regions and periods with the greatest excess deaths were those in which there were most deaths due to COVID-19; the greatest excess deaths occurred in March 2021 (n = 4,207), with a progressive decrease until the end of the year. Conclusion: there were excess deaths in the state of Santa Catarina and in all its macro-regions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Surveillance is a primary action of public health; 19 ),( 20 however, it is recognized that weak surveillance systems can lead to underreporting of TB. 21 It is possible that this weakness may be accentuated in the context of COVID-19. Studies conducted in India and Sierra Leone showed a reduction of 63.3% and 70.0% in TB notifications, respectively.…”

Objective: to analyze the distribution of tuberculosis cases in the state of Paraná, Brazil, between 2018 and 2021. Methods: this was an ecological study using secondary data obtained from compulsory notifications; detection rates per 100,000 inhabitants were described according to health regions in the state; percentage changes between 2018-2019 and 2020-2021 were calculated. Results: a total of 7,099 cases were registered. The highest rates were observed in the health regions of Paranaguá (52.4/100,000 in 2018-2019; 38.2/100,000 in 2020-2021) and Foz do Iguaçu (34.4/100,000 in 2018-2019; 20.5/100,000 in 2020-2021), and the lowest rates in Irati (6.3/100,000 in 2018-2019; 8.8/100,000 in 2020-2021) and Francisco Beltrão (8.5/100,000 in 2018-2019; 7.6/100,000 in 2020-2021); in 2020-2021, it could be seen a decrease in percentage changes in 18 health regions, while there was an increase in four of them, especially Foz do Iguaçu (-40.5%) and Cianorte (+53.6%). Conclusion: high rates were found in the coastal and triple border regions; and there was a decline in detection rates in the pandemic period.

“…As this was an ecological study, possible limitations due to the occurrence of bias or confounders cannot be ruled out. The underreporting of deaths stands out as a potential bias, observed in studies that used secondary data [39][40][41] .…”

Objective: To describe the mortality trend from all cancers and the five main ones in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, from 2000 to 2015. Methods: This is a descriptive, ecological, time series study, with data referring to deaths of residents of Mato Grosso due to cancer (ICD-10 codes C00 to C97), from the Mortality Information System (SIM). Time trend analyses of the standardized mortality rate from all cancers and five specific cancers (lung, prostate, breast, colorectal and cervical) for the state and according to macroregion (South, West, North, East and Center-North) were performed using linear regression (p<0.05). Results: From 2000 to 2015, 28,525 deaths from all cancers in residents of the state of Mato Grosso were recorded. An increasing trend was observed for all cancers, in addition to lung, breast and colorectal cancers. The South and North macroregions showed an increasing trend for all cancers, breast and colorectal, and Center-North for breast and colorectal. East showed an increasing trend for all cancers, prostate and colorectal, and decreasing for cervical. Conclusion: In the state of Mato Grosso, there was an increasing trend in mortality for all cancers and from specific ones, with emphasis on breast and colorectal cancer in most macroregions.
