Abstract
LIMA, Mônia Maia de; FAVACHO, Alexsandra Rodrigues de Mendonça; SOUZA-SANTOS, Reinaldo and GAMA, Silvana Granado Nogueira da. Characteristics and temporal trends of mortality rates in children and adolescents in Mato Grosso and Brazil, 2009-2020. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.3, e2022491. Epub Oct 11, 2022. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s2237-96222022000300017.
Objective:
to analyze the characteristics and temporal trend of mortality rates in the population aged 5 to 14 years in Mato Grosso state and in Brazil, from 2009 to 2020.
Methods:
this was an ecological time-series study, based on data taken from the Mortality Information System. Descriptive and trend analyses were performed, using the joinpoint regression model and calculating the average annual percentage change (AAPC).
Results:
in Brazil and in Mato Grosso state, deaths were predominantly male, preventable and due to external causes. A falling trend was identified for Brazil (5-9 years AAPC: -2.9; 95%CI -4.3;-1.6 and 10-14 years AAPC: -2.5; 95%CI -3.3;-1.8), while a stationary trend was found in Mato Grosso (5-9 years AAPC: -2.0; 95%CI -5.6;1.7 and 10-14 years AAPC: -0.1; 95%CI -5.9;6.1).
Conclusion:
the stable trend of mortality at high levels demands urgent interventions to reduce it.
