“…In Brazil and macro-regions, a reduction in deaths due to ill-defined causes has been observed 9,10 . However, with the exception of Manaus, which presented a proportion greater than 10% in the period, it was found that despite the small percentage of ill-defined causes -GC-R codes corresponding to Chapter XVIII of ICD-10 -other GCs stood out as important causes of death, showing that only an analysis of the percentage of ill-defined causes is not enough to evaluate the quality of information on causes of death.…”

Objective:To assess the quality of mortality information by analyzing the frequency of garbage codes (GC) registered as underlying cause-of-death in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: Data of deaths of residents from 2011 to 2013 were selected. GC causes were classified as proposed by the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2015. They were grouped into GCs from ICD-10 Chapter XVIII and GCs excluding codes of Chapter XVIII. Proportions of GC were calculated by sex, age, and place of occurrence. Results: In Belo Horizonte, 30.5% of the total of 44,123 deaths were GC. Higher proportion of these codes was observed in children (1 to 4 years) and in people aged over 60 years. The following leading GCs observed were: other ill-defined and unspecified causes of death (code R99), unspecified pneumonia ( J18.9), unspecified stroke (hemorrhagic or ischemic) (I64), and unspecified septicemia (A41.9). The proportions of GC were 28.7% and 36.9% in deaths that occurred in hospitals and at home, respectively. An important difference occurred in the GC group from Chapter XVIII of ICD-10: 1.7% occurred in hospitals and 16.9% at home. Conclusion: The high proportions of GC in mortality statistics in Belo Horizonte demonstrated its importance for assessing the quality of information on causes of death.

“…The highest proportion of deaths by poorly defined causes in the elderly is a relatively common phenomenon in developing countries, due to the difficulties in accurate determination of basic cause of death 21 . In a study which analyzed the trend of deaths from poorly defined causes between 1979 and 2009 in the Northeast of Brazil, it was observed that the population aged over 60 years had the highest ratio of deaths by unknown cause at the beginning of the period, and it was also the one which presented the highest proportional reduction of those at the end of the study period 22 .…”

This study aimed at analyzing the pattern of prostate cancer mortality in the Central-West Region, in the period 1980 - 2011. The quadrennial and annual mortality rates, age-standardized by the world population, were calculated. Polynomial regression models were estimated to analyze trends of mortality in Brazilian regions and in the states of the Central-West Region. Throughout Brazil there was an increase in the magnitude of mortality rates during the study's period. In the Central-West Region, mortality rates from prostate cancer increased from 7.65/100,000 in the period 1980 - 1983, to 14.36/100,000 in the last four years, exceeding the national average. For Mato Grosso do Sul, an increased trend, although not constant, was observed for prostate mortality rates, while those rates showed stability for Mato Grosso and presented a constant trend of increment for Goiás along the studied period. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between mortality rates from prostate cancer and the proportional mortality from ill-defined causes of death in the three states, but no correlations were observed between these rates and the ratios of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) tests realized. Difficulties in the access to the health services network, better quality of death records with reduction of ill-defined causes and increased use of PSA may have contributed to the mortality pattern observed in the Central-West Region. Further studies are needed to investigate these relationships in order, to better understand the patterns of mortality from this cancer in the Central-West population.

“…The relationship between mortality by defined causes and age is in agreement with that reported from different studies conducted in the country. Among the possible explanations is the difficulty of establishing an underlying cause in concomitant multiple morbidities, a common situation among the elderly 30,31 . Lower odds of nonspecific causes in the 10-49 years age range and in males may be associated with the occurrence of deaths due to non-natural causes, which is known to be higher among young male adults 32 .…”

Resumo Objetivou-se investigar fatores associados à mortalidade por causas inespecíficas e mal definidas no estado do Amazonas (AM). Desenvolveu-se um estudo seccional incluindo 90.439 registros de óbitos não fetais, com residência e ocorrência no AM entre 2006 e 2012. Foram estimadas razões de chances de causas inespecíficas e mal definidas por meio de regressão logística multinomial hierárquica. A proporção de causas mal definidas e inespecíficas foi, respectivamente, 16,6% e 9,1%. A ocorrência de causas mal definidas diminuiu ao longo dos anos e a de causas inespecíficas somente no último biênio. As causas inespecíficas associaram-se com residência e ocorrência do óbito fora da capital, via pública, sexo feminino, dos 10 aos 49 anos, cor parda e quando atestadas por legistas. As causas mal definidas associaram-se com residência e ocorrência fora da capital, em domicílios, a partir de 40 anos, cor não branca, não ser solteiro, baixa escolaridade, assistência médica e falta de informação sobre o atestante. A mortalidade por causas mal definidas e inespecíficas no AM declinou entre 2006 e 2012, associando-se às dimensões espacial e temporal, fatores demográficos, socioeconômicos e à assistência médica na ocasião do óbito.

Tendência dos óbitos por causas mal definidas na região Nordeste do Brasil, 1979–2009

Abstract: Decreased trends were observed, but it is necessary to reinforce the actions to improve the capacity of health service assistance and coverage and data registration in order to maintain this trend.
