Identificación de los conocimientos de calidad de la información de mortalidad en Bogotá

Abstract

RESUMENObjetivo Identificar los conocimientos del personal que participaba en la producción y el uso de la información de mortalidad sobre la calidad de la misma, durante el año 2010. Métodos Estudio descriptivo que aplicó encuesta semi-estructurada, auto-administrada a 130 funcionarios que participaban en la producción y uso de estadísticas de mortalidad. Sobre los conocimientos de calidad de la información de mortalidad, se indagaron aspectos que daban cuenta de fiabilidad, características, calificación, explicación a la calificación dada y propuesta para mejorar. Se calcularon frecuencias y distribuciones porcentuales. Resultados El 76,2 % de los encuestados identificaron cobertura y contenido como aspectos que daban cuenta de la fiabilidad de la información de mortalidad. Las principales características de calidad de la información reconocidas fueron veracidad, 80,8 %; completitud, 76,2 %; precisión, 75,4 %; oportunidad, 74,6 %; y validez, 73,8 %. El 55,4 % de los participantes calificó la calidad como regular y el 6,2 % como mala. Sensibilización, procesos formativos y evaluativos fueron algunas de las propuestas mencionadas para el mejoramiento de la calidad. Conclusiones Los hallazgos sugieren que existe falta de conocimientos sobre la calidad de la información de mortalidad. Se hace necesario corregir esa falta de conocimientos poniendo en práctica las propuestas de mejoramiento realizada por los encuestados. Se recomendó que las distintas propuestas que se pongan en marcha, sean seguidas y evaluadas para conocer el impacto que ellas producen.Palabras Clave: Información; mortalidad; estadísticas vitales; causa de muerte (fuente: DeCS, BIREME). ABSTRACTObjective Identify the workers knowledge involved in the production and usage, about the quality of mortality information in Bogotá during 2006. Methods We conducted a descriptive study using a self-administered and semi-structured questionnaire in 130 functionaries who participated in the mortality data production and use. The instruments inquired into the reliability, characteristics, qualification, reasons for that qualification and improvement proposals. We calculated frequencies and percentage distributions. Results 76.2 % of respondents identified coverage and content as the aspects that best indicated reliability of mortality information. The main quality characteristics of the information recognized were veracity, 80.8 %; completeness, 76.2 %; accuracy, 75.4 %; opportunity, 74.6 %; and validity, 73.8 %. 55.4 % of participants rated the quality as fair and 6.2 % as poor. Some of the proposals for the quality improvement were awareness, training and evaluation processes. Conclusions The findings suggest that there is still a lack of knowledge about the quality of mortality information in people involved in its production and use. It is necessary

Initial insights on vaping-associated illnesses in Colombia: evidence for action

“…Our results are consistent with those reported in the literature. ( 9 A meta-analysis focusing on evaluating the concomitant usage of e-cigarette and marijuana in adolescents found that those who reported e-cigarette use had 6.04 times greater odds (OR = 6.04; 95% CI, 3.80-9.60) of reporting marijuana use than did those who did not vape. 9 Some authors have underscored that the current strategy of identifying lung injury associated with e-cigarettes has limitations.…”

“…Insights iniciais sobre doenças associadas ao vaping na Colômbia: evidências para ação o uso de maconha do que aqueles que não fumavam. (9) Alguns autores ressaltaram que a estratégia atual de identificar lesões pulmonares associadas aos cigarros eletrônicos tem limitações. O anúncio da inclusão de doenças relacionadas ao vaping na CID-10-CM (Clinical Modification) U07.0 no final de 2019 foi ofuscado pela pandemia de COVID-19, reduzindo o potencial de sua aceitação universal.…”
