Bernardo Lanza Queiroz's study assesses the completeness of the DataSUS SIM death-count registry and estimates adult mortality probability (45q15) for Brazilian states from 1980 to 2010. The analysis uses mortality data from the DataSUS Mortality Information System and population data from demographic censuses in 1980, 1991, 2000, and 2010. Results show a considerable improvement in death-count coverage and a decline in adult mortality probability across all states during this period.
Use Cases
- Modeling trends in adult mortality probability (45q15) based on sex and state over a 30-year period.
- Assessing the quality and completeness of death-count registry data across different Brazilian regions.
- Analyzing disparities in mortality between males and females as described in the study's findings.
- Evaluating the impact of public health system investments on vital event recording, as suggested in the conclusion.
Strengths
- Covers a 30-year time span from 1980 to 2010.
- Provides analysis at the subnational level for all Brazilian states.
- Includes data disaggregated by sex, allowing for gender-based analysis.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
