- Profile of tuberculosis mortality in Brazil, 2001-2011 Anne Caroline Vieira Ethel Leonor Maciel Thiago Prado Nascimento Carolina Maia Salles Adelmo Inácio Bertolde Maria Catarina Salvador da Motta Salud Mortality Tuberculosis Health Profile Information Systems Observational study Rationale: In the health-disease process of tuberculosis (TB), mortality is one of the health indicators that most reflects the social link with the biological aspect. Death from TB is a sentinel event because it is preventable and indicates a failure of the social network and the health system. Objectives: To describe the sociodemographic and operational characteristics of patients who died of TB and the temporal distribution of the TB mortality rate in Brazil. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study performed from the database of the Mortality Information System (Portuguese acronym: SIM), in which all deaths with TB as the main cause registered from 2001 to 2011 were considered. Data analyzed through descriptive statistics. Results: During the study period, 53,747 deaths were recorded with TB as the basic cause. There was a higher percentage of cases of male sex (n = 39,597; 73.6%), mixed race (n=21,697; 40.3%), single marital status (n=23,518; 43.8%), schooling of up to eight years (n=19,443; 36.2%). A higher number of deaths occurred at the hospital (n=43,028; 80.1%) and 19,712 cases (36.7%) received medical assistance before death. The annual crude mortality rate decreased during the study period, ranging from 3.2 to 2.4 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants. Conclusion: The results show the need for strategies differentiated by sex, age and education at the local level in TB control programs, as well as for planning health promotion and prevention actions available to populations living in these areas. 2019 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570464292012 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570464292012/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570464292012/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570464292012/570464292012.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570464292012/movil https://doi.org/10.17058/.v9i4.12202 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.9
