ABSTRACT

Resumen: Objetivo: Estimar la potencial subestimación de la mortalidad por lesiones de tránsito en las entidades federativas de México para un periodo de 15 años. Se buscó identificar variables sociales y económicas de cada entidad federativa que pudieran estar potencialmente asociadas con la calidad de la clasificación estadística de las defunciones. Material y métodos: Análisis secundario de bases de mortalidad, periodo 1999-2013. Mediante modelos de imputación múltiple, se identificaron los registros que pudieran ser muertes atribuidas al tránsito y se realizó un análisis de correlación simple. Resultados: La subestimación de defunciones por lesiones de tránsito durante el periodo fue de 18.85%, con importantes variaciones por entidad federativa. No hubo evidencia de que existiera asociación de alguna variable con el porcentaje de subestimación de la mortalidad. Conclusiones: La clasificación de la mortalidad es diferente en las entidades federativas. Esta información es de gran utilidad para focalizar intervenciones que permitan mejorar el registro de las defunciones en el país.


Abstract: Objective: To estimate the potential underestimation of mortality from traffic injuries at the subnational level in Mexico for a period of 15 years and to identify social and economic variables at the state level that could potentially be associated with the quality of statistical classification of deaths. Materials and methods: Secondary analysis of validated mortality databases for the period 1999-2013 was conducted. Using multiple imputation models, registries that could potentially be attributed to road traffic deaths were estimated and the potential underestimation of mortality due to this external cause was quantified. A simple correlation analysis was carried out. Results: The potential underestimation of deaths from traffic injuries during the period was 18.85% at the national level, with significant variations by state. From the data analyzed, there was no statistical evidence of any association of the percentage of road traffic deaths underestimation with the variables analyzed. Conclusions: Performance in terms of mortality classification is different at the state level in Mexico. This information is useful for targeting interventions to improve the recording of deaths in the country.
