“…Taking into account that the coverage of the Colombian health system reaches 99.6% of universal insurance, according to the accountability report for the 2021 -2022 period (9); the data from SISPRO could globally re ect all the situations of the SGSSS. During the 6 years evaluated, 1,128,149 cases with a principal diagnosis of ischemic heart disease were recorded.…”

Introduction: Ischemic heart disease is a worldwide public health problem, since 2000 the largest increase in deaths corresponds to this, which has increased from more than 2 million deaths in 2000 to 8.9 million in 2019. Objective: To estimate the burden of disease attributable to ischemic heart disease, measured in disability-adjusted life years DALYs in the Colombian inhabitants from 2015 to 2020. Methodology: This is an exploratory ecological study in which the burden of disease for ischemic heart disease was estimated by reviewing the trend in mortality and morbidity. Incidence rate data from the Individual Service Provision Records (RIPS) of the Social Protection Information System (SISPRO) and specific mortality rates by age, sex, year and department, according to the official source of vital statistics of the DANE, were used. Years of life lost due to premature death (YLL) and years of life lost due to disability (YLD) were estimated to calculate the DALYs, according to Murray's methodology. Results: During the years from 2015 to 2020, ischemic heart disease caused a loss of 4,703,914 total disability-adjusted life years. A greater contribution of DALYs is observed in all periods in men compared to women. The distribution by age group indicates that from the age of 60 years onwards, the loss of DALYs is progressive. At the national level, a greater loss was observed in the departments of Quindío, Risaralda, Caldas, Tolima, Valle del Cauca, Atlántico, Bogotá, Santander, Huila and Cundinamarca. Conclusion: The main cause of mortality in Colombia is ischemic heart disease, which is a major contributor to disability in the country. This scenario and the aging inhabitants point to challenges for the health system and decision makers that require effective national policies and immediate interventions to lessen the negative impact on the health and development of Colombians.
