Epidemiological situation of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related mortality in a municipality in northeastern Brazil. A retrospective cross-sectional study

Abstract: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The number of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related deaths covers different segments of the population differently, making monitoring of this mortality essential. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological situation of AIDS-related mortality in a municipality in the northeastern region of Brazil. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective cross-sectional study based on data from death certificates in the mortality information sys… Show more

“…Óbitos por HIV/Aids no estado do Piauí em número absoluto e porcentagem, segundo sexo -2008 a 2018. número apresentado de mortes entre homens corrobora com os dados do boletim epidemiológico de HIV/Aids, em que a razão verificada para as mortes por Aids no ano de 2018 foi de 20 óbitos entre homens para cada 10 mulheres.Além disso, nota-se um comportamento linear na taxa de óbito desde o ano de 2005 (Tabela 2). Ademais, um estudo feito porSilva et al (2018), no município de Teresina (PI) confirmou a prevalência de mortes entre o sexo masculino, verificando-se que das 1.066 mortes ocorridas por causa básica Aids entre 2003 e 2013, 743 (69,7%) ocorrem entre homens.…”

“…Unlike basic summary statistics that consider one cause at a time, these methods consider two causes simultaneously; they were used frequently to evaluate external cause epidemiology, specifically to assess the nature of poisoning and injury related to exposure to drugs and alcohol. [80][81][82][83][84] While the nature of the coding process mandates the use of multiple causes of death for assessing injuries sustained from external causes, descriptive pairwise analysis was regularly applied to infectious diseases [85][86][87][88][89] and chronic diseases. 3,[90][91][92][93][94][95][96] More complex applications such as the assessment of mortality odds ratios were applied to assess the strength of relationships between disease on the death certificates.…”

“…Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a global health crisis [1]. HIV invades T lymphocytes (CD4+) cells of the human immune system, leading to a variety of opportunistic infections and death [2,3]. Hepatitis B (HB), a chronic disease characterized by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection for more than 6 months and varying degrees of inflammatory necrosis/fibrosis of the liver, also poses a global health threat [4].…”
