KLAFKE, André et al. Mortality from acute complications of diabetes mellitus in Brazil, 2006-2010. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2014, vol.23, n.3, pp.455-462. ISSN 1679-4974.

OBJECTIVE: to describe mortality from acute complications of diabetes in Brazil according to geographical region, age and sex. METHODS: deaths registered on the Brazilian Mortality System due to these complications (ICD-10 E10-14.0 or 1) in 2006-2010 were corrected for under-reporting and ill-defined causes. Mortality rates were standardized by age and sex. RESULTS: annual mortality in Brazil was 2.45 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, and 0.29 deaths/100,000 inhabitants among those <40 years old, accounting for 6.8% and 22.9% of deaths registering diabetes as the underlying cause, respectively. Mortality was higher in the North and Northeast regions and increased with age. CONCLUSION: given its potential avoidability, mortality due to acute complications of diabetes was high, especially in the Northeast and the North regions. As such, it is an important indicator for evaluating preventive actions and regional health inequalities.
