Analyze, in the necroscopic reports of the Death Verification Service of the State of Tocantins (SVO-TO), the records of biological samples collected for histopathological examination and records of autolysis in histopathological results and correlate them with records of causes of mortality and morbidity. Cross-sectional observational analytical study conducted in 494 autopsy reports completed and filed in SVO-TO, Brazil, between 2012 and 2016. Records of the number of biological samples collected for histopathology, number of autolysis, number of causes of mortality and number of causes of morbidity were extracted and identified. For the analysis of the relationship between the variables, descriptive and analytical statistics were used in SAS SYSTEM software. The mean number of mortality records was 5.72 ± 2.42 (CV 42.32%), causes of morbidity: 0.2 ± 0.5 (CV 251.46%), number of biological samples collected: 2.66 ± 1.13 (CV 42.59%), number of autolysis: 1.74 ± 1.05 (CV 60.06%). The number of mortality and morbidity diagnoses recorded in SVO reports increases the higher the number of samples collected by necropsies physicians. The number of biological samples collected by necropsy positively impacts the number of causes of mortality and morbidity. Collecting more than seven tissue samples by necropsy does not impact the number of causes of mortality and morbidity. The low numbers of autolysis records suggest efficacy in the collection of biological samples in SVO-TO.

Introduction: Mental disorders are changes in psychological, mental or cognitive functioning, in which there is impairment, or suffering that impairs life habits, family, social interaction, among others. Objective: To trace the epidemiological profile of psychiatry patients of Gurupi polyclinic -TO. Materials and Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, performed from the analysis of 104 medical records of patients in the psychiatric specialty attended at Gurupi-TO polyclinic. Data were collected on gender, age, the city of origin, the profession, marital status and medical diagnosis. The data were analyzed from descriptive statistics, in absolute and relative values. Results: It was observed that people aged 6 to 84 years were observed, most of them female (63.5%). In addition, it is noticed that polyclinic users are mostly single (70%), residents of Gurupi city (84%). Regarding the profession, a high percentage of medical records do not contain these responses (58%), of the others are mostly from home (15%). The most prevalent disorders are bipolar affective disorder (34.2%) and depression (27.9%). Conclusion: It is possible to realize that psychiatric disorders are predominantly affecting female patients, aged between 30 and 49 years, single, as a profession of "home", with fixed residence in the city of Gurupi and diagnosed predominantly with mental pathologies related to bipolar affective disorder and depression.
