ABSTRACT
Fundamento: según la Organización Mundial de la Salud la diabetes causa 300 000 muertes al año en América Latina y el Caribe y en la provincia Cienfuegos desde el año 2020 se ubica como séptima causa de fallecimientos. Objetivo caracterizar la mortalidad por diabetes mellitus en la provincia Cienfuegos en los primeros nueve meses del año 2020. Métodos: se realizó una investigación en sistemas y servicios de salud de tipo descriptiva a partir de una serie de casos para caracterizar la mortalidad por diabetes mellitus en Cienfuegos en los primeros nueve meses del año 2020. Los fallecidos se compilaron teniendo en cuenta: sexo, edad, color de la piel, nivel de escolaridad, lugar de residencia, estrato territorial, enfermedad, factores de riesgo asociados y causas de muertes directas. Se emplearon la media aritmética y la desviación estándar. Los resultados se presentan en forma de tablas y gráficos. Resultados la mayor afectación estuvo en las últimas décadas de la vida para el género femenino, así como la residencia en un territorio urbano, están entre las primeras causas directas de muerte el tromboembolismo pulmonar, así como la insuficiencia renal crónica agudizada, se destaca el desequilibrio hidroelectrolítico en un número considerable de las defunciones. Conclusiones las últimas décadas de la vida fueron las más afectadas y el sexo femenino, las principales causas de muerte fueron: el tromboembolismo pulmonar y la insuficiencia renal crónica agudizada. El desequilibrio hidroelectrolítico sobresale en un considerable número de los fallecidos.
Foundation: according to the World Health Organization, diabetes causes 300,000 deaths a year in Latin America and the Caribbean and in the Cienfuegos province since 2020 it ranks as the seventh cause of death. Objective: to characterize mortality from diabetes mellitus in the Cienfuegos province in the first nine months of 2020. Methods: a descriptive investigation was carried out on health systems and services based on a series of cases to characterize mortality from diabetes mellitus in Cienfuegos in the first nine months of 2020. The deceased were compiled taking into account: sex, age, skin color, educational level, place of residence, territorial stratum, disease, associated risk factors and direct causes of death. The arithmetic mean and standard deviation were used. The results are presented in the form of tables and graphs. Results: the greatest affectation was in the last decades of life for the female gender, as well as residence in an urban territory, among the first direct causes of death are pulmonary thromboembolism, as well as acute chronic renal failure; hydroelectrolytic imbalance stands out in a considerable number of deaths. Conclusions: the last decades of life were the most affected and the female sex, the main causes of death were: pulmonary thromboembolism and acute chronic renal failure. The hydroelectrolytic imbalance stands out in a considerable number of the deceased.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the general information and death causes in the emergency department ( ED) with an epidemiological study in the death cases.Methods The clinical records of 1007 death cases in the ED admitted in three years from 2011 to 2013 were collected and statistically analyzed.Methods The clinical records of 1 007 death cases in the ED admitted in three years from 2011 to 2013 were collected and statistically analyzed.Results The mean age of the 1 007 deaths was ( 75.95 ±13.89 ) ears, and the mean score of APACHEⅡ at admission was ( 27.19 ±6.44 ) .Malignant neoplasm, pulmonary infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary heart disease, stroke, sepsis, acute coronary syndromes were main underlying causes of death, while respiratory failure, circulatory collapse, generalized debility, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, emaciation from malignant neoplasm, septic shock, severe pulmonary infection were main direct lethal causes of death.Most patients were vulnerable to be dead in the spring season, January and around midnight from 23: 00 to 1: 00 (zi time).It is noteworthy that pulmonary infection accounted for 74.75%(151/202 ) of the nosocomial infection. Hyperlactacidemia and low oxygenation index indicated a poor prognosis.Conclusions The deaths were predominant in old age, and the order of incidence of the underlying death causes from high to low arranged was consistent with the sequence of death causes of the cities in China in 2010.To identify carefully the risk factors of death and concern about the early symptoms of exacerbation of underlying diseases can make a big difference in enhancing the success rate of rescuing the critical emergency patients.Besides, it's worth pondering over that the medical care of patients with malignant neoplasm spent abundant emergency resources.
