IntroductionAlagoas is one of the poorest states of Brazil and its HDI is the country’s worst.ObjectivesPresent the epidemiological profile of suicides that occurred in the State of Alagoas from 2008 to 2018.MethodsThis research is epidemiological, descriptive and transversal. In this sense, data from the Universal Health System Informatics Department (DATASUS) were used to analyze the age range, marital status, race, sex, education and cause of death of the suicide victims.Results1245 people committed suicide in Alagoas in the period of 10 years, they were 951 men (76%) and 294 women (24%). The main cause of death was self-harm caused by hanging, strangulation and suffocation (ICD X-70), occurring in approximately 67% of cases (836 people), followed by self-poisoning by drugs and medication (ICD X-64) 140 people, and pesticides (CID X-68) 92 people. The auto injuries caused by firearms (ICD X-72 to X-74) totalled 45 victims, while the self-inflicted injuries intentionally caused by precipitation from a high place (ICD X-80) totalled 38 victims. Most of those who took their lives were single (57%), brown (88%), had between 15 and 39 years old (55%) and did not have their education level informed (75%).ConclusionsThus, the present study demonstrated that there is a compromise of important statistical data on education level and there is the inexistence of data on family income and sexual orientation, which may help to understand the phenomenon of suicide in Alagoas. Despite all this, it was possible to identify a group of risk for suicide in the State: brown, single and young men.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil de mortalidade por endocardite infecciosa na região nordeste entre 2010 e 2019. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico do tipo transversal ecológico, com análise espacial dos casos notificados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Sinan), software TabNet Win32 3.0. A amostra consiste em todos os óbitos por EI aguda e subaguda na região nordeste no período compreendido entre 2010 e 2019, com análise das variáveis sexo e idade, sob classificação segundo a Classificação Internacional de Doenças em sua 10ª revisão - CID-10 (I33). Resultados: Identificaram-se 1335 casos diagnosticados, sendo 2019 o ano com o maior número de óbitos (n=178) e 2012 o ano com o menor número de óbitos (n=120). Na análise realizada, a correlação de Pearson foi fortemente positiva para o sexo masculino (r=0,97); raça parda (r=0,87); escolaridade de 8 a 11 anos de estudo (r=0,85); faixa etária entre 65 e 75 anos (r=0,87); entre os casados (r=0,82). Conclusão: Os resultados ratificam que esta doença é um desafio diagnóstico, tem alta mortalidade e está associada a complicações graves. Por ser um estudo retrospectivo, limita-se às informações disponíveis no Sinan.
