Resumen
VARGAS-HERRERA, Javier et al. Automated coding and selection of causes of death in Peru: a descriptive study, 2016-2019. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.3, e2023024. Epub 05-Sep-2023. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s2237-96222023000300005.en.
Objective:
to describe software performance in the automatic selection of the underlying cause of death in Peru, between 2016 and 2019.
Methods:
this was a descriptive study on the software performance in the automated selection of the underlying cause of death over the years (chi-square test for trend) and the correlation between the type of death certificate and software performance (correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination).
Results:
a total of 446,217 death certificates were analyzed; the proportion of death certificates with the underlying cause of death increased from 69.6% in 2016 to 78.8% in 2019 (p-value < 0.001); it could be seen a direct linear correlation between electronic death certificates and software performance (correlation coefficient = 0.95; R2 = 0.89).
Conclusion:
the software showed good performance in the automatic selection of the underlying cause of death, with a significant increase between 2016 and 2019.
