OLIVEIRA, Andreia Ferreira de et al. Estimating prevalence and mortality due to peptic ulcer complications, Brazil, 2008: a methodological proposal. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.1, pp.145-154. ISSN 1679-4974.

OBJECTIVE: to estimate peptic ulcer prevalence and mortality in Brazil and its regions, by gender and age group in 2008. METHODS: prevalence was estimated based on Hospital Information System data adjusted according to Unified Health System (SUS) service coverage. Ulcer complications were taken to be hospitalized cases. Mortality was calculated using Mortality Information System data, according to the methodology proposed by global burden of disease studies. RESULTS: overall peptic ulcer prevalence in Brazil was 0.2% in males and 0.1% in females; mortality rate was 3.0/100,000 inhabitants (3.6/100,000 males and 2.3/100,000 females); prevalence and mortality increased with advancing age in both sexes, with highest values found in males. CONCLUSION: this study highlights the importance of peptic ulcers on the Brazilian health scenario and the need for further research for more precise estimates of the occurrence of this disease in our country.
