Perfil de morbimortalidade por causas externas na Bahia

Abstract

The study aims to describe the pattern of morbidity and mortality from external causes in the state of Bahia in the period 2008 to 2014. It is a study of character cross, ecological, with exploratory quantitative approach. We used secondary data from the Mortality Information System (SIM) in the period January 2008 to December 2012 and data from the Hospital Information System (SIH-SUS) for the period January 2009 to June 2014, available at Department of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), the largest database available in Brazil, and the data collected for both systems on general external causes, falls, burns / corrosion and transportation accidents involving residents in the State of Bahia . Data collection was conducted in the month of August 2014 and the interpretation of the data was made through simple and absolute frequency from the raw data collected and represented by tables. The variables studied in the time frame were related to morbidity and mortality from external causes according to CID-10 (International Classification of Diseases), year of morbidity and mortality, gender, color / race, age and causes of mortality. The age was categorized as follows: 0-14, 15-29, 30-59 and 60 or older. In addition, the mortality rate was calculated to external causes. The results showed that the profile of morbidity and mortality from external causes, is the most victims, youth and adult, male, aged between 15-29 years and 30-59 years, color / brown race. When dealing morbidity according to the specific groups contained in the external causes during the study period, it was found that falls accounted for 35.79%, burns and corrosions represented 3.17% and 13.70% transport accidents . Regarding mortality, falls accounted for 3.48%, burns and corrosion accounted for 0.06% and 20.28% transport accidents of all cases occurring in this period. With respect to morbidity and mortality from external causes on race / color variable, the victims were mostly classified as no information. The mortality rates from external causes showed positive growth during the period examined, analyzed by sex, the mortality rate due to external causes for males is four times higher compared to females. We conclude that morbidity from external causes was higher than mortality. Therefore, it is evident, the need for intersectoral, interdisciplinary and integrated strategies involving health, traffic, education, safety, labor, the environment, justice and all civil society organizations to monitor and evaluate the occurrence and consequences of external causes, for victim assistance, prevention of risk, health promotion and encouragement of a culture of peace factors.
