ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Investigate factors associated with death at home among older adults who died of cancer in a large city. METHODS This is a descriptive study, including all cancer deaths (ICD C00-C97) occurring between 2006 and 2012, among residents of the city of São Paulo, 60 years of age or older. The data source was the Mortality Information System, and the proportion of deaths was calculated according to place of occurrence, gender, age, race/skin color, education, marital status, cancer type, hospital bed availability, and year of death. The chi-squared test was used to examine the associations between the place of death and sociodemographic and clinical variables. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with home death. Crude and adjusted odds ratios and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were estimated. RESULTS Most of the deaths occurred in hospitals (88.2%). There was a significant association between the place of death and the following variables: gender, race/skin color, education, age, marital status, cancer type, hospital bed availability, and year of death. In the multivariate analysis, all variables, except the availability of hospital beds, remained as independent predictors of death at home. CONCLUSIONS There was a predominance of hospital deaths, with an increase in frequency in the period. Female gender, higher education, married or widowed status, and black race were associated with a decreased risk of death at home, while increasing age, Asian race, and solid neoplasms were associated with higher risk of dying at home.


RESUMO OBJETIVO Investigar os fatores associados ao óbito domiciliar entre idosos que morreram por câncer em uma cidade de grande porte. MÉTODOS Estudo descritivo, incluindo todos os óbitos por câncer (CID C00-C97) ocorridos entre 2006 e 2012, entre residentes do município de São Paulo com 60 anos de idade ou mais. A fonte de dados foi o Sistema de Informações de Mortalidade e a proporção de óbitos foi estimada segundo local, sexo, faixa etária, raça/cor, escolaridade, estado civil, tipo de câncer, disponibilidade de leitos hospitalares e ano do óbito. O teste qui-quadrado foi utilizado para investigar as associações entre o local do óbito e as variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas. A regressão logística foi empregada para identificar fatores associados à morte domiciliar. Foram estimadas as razões de chance brutas e ajustadas e os intervalos de confiança de 95%. RESULTADOS A maioria dos óbitos ocorreu em hospitais (88,2%). Houve associação significativa entre o local de óbito e as seguintes variáveis: sexo, raça/cor, escolaridade, faixa etária, estado civil, tipo de câncer, disponibilidade de leitos hospitalares e ano do óbito. Na análise multivariada, todas as variáveis, exceto a disponibilidade de leitos hospitalares, permaneceram como preditores independentes de óbito domiciliar. CONCLUSÕES Houve predomínio de óbitos hospitalares, com aumento na frequência no período. O sexo feminino, maior escolaridade, o status de casado ou viúvo e a raça negra foram associados à menor chance de óbito domiciliar, enquanto o aumento da idade, a raça/cor amarela e as neoplasias sólidas estiveram associados à maior chance de morrer em casa.

Objetivo: Evaluar la razón de mortalidad materna, causas, factores relacionados, en la Maternidad “Concepción Palacios” y proponer sugerencias y estrategias que permitan disminuirla. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, analítico y retrospectivo de las muertes maternas ocurridas en el período 2009-2013 realizando revisión de historias médicas. Resultados: Se reportaron 27 muertes maternas. La razón de mortalidad materna fue del 65,40 % por cada 100 000 nacidos vivos en dicho período. Prevalecieron las causas obstétricas directas (70,37 %), por trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo (26,62 %) y dentro de estos la preeclampsia severa con 50 %, la sepsis con 22,22 % y hemorragia con 18,51 Las causas indirectas ocuparon el 29,62 % y las principales causas fueron las cardíacas con 11,11 %, seguidas por las inmunológicas con 7,40 %. De las pacientes que fallecieron, el 51,85 % tuvo un buen control prenatal, el 55,5 % era procedente del Distrito Capital y el 37,03 % del Estado Miranda. El rango de edad materna en el que se presentó el mayor número de muertes fue entre los 20-25 años de edad con el 33,33 %, el 51,85 % cursaba con II o III gestas para el momento de la muerte, la mayoría de estas pacientes culminó la gestación por cesárea con 55,55 % y se determinó que el intervalo en horas entre el momento del ingreso y la declaración de la muerte fue más frecuente en las primeras 24 horas (17 muertes) y después de las 48 horas (10 muertes) con 62,96 % y 37,03 % respectivamente. Conclusiones: La razón promedio de mortalidad materna fue 65,40 por 100 000 nacidos vivos, con predominio de las causas obstétricas directas, principalmente los trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo.


Objective: To investigate maternal deaths that occurred at “Maternidad Concepcion Palacios” from 2009 to 2013 to determine maternal mortality rate, causes, related factors and to propose suggestions and strategies that adequately address the problem. Method: A retrospective, descriptive and analytical study of maternal deaths that occurred in the period from 2009 to 2013. Results: 27 reported maternal deaths. The average maternal mortality rate was 65.40 per 100 000 live births. The prevailing direct causes (70.37 %) represented by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (26.62.%) mainly by severe preeclampsia (50 %), sepsis (22.22 %) and hemorrhage (18.51 %). The main indirect causes (29.62 %) were cardiac (11.11 %) and immunologic (7.40 %). Of all the patients 51.85 % had a good prenatal care, 55.5 % of them came from Distrito Capital and 37.03 % from Miranda state, maternal age was predominant in the range 20-25 years (33.3 %) with II or III pregnancies at the moment of dead. The predominant form of termination of pregnancy was the cesarean section (55.5 %), the interval between admission and death was before 24 hours (17 deaths) and after 48 hours (10 deaths), 62.96 % y 37.07 % respectively. Conclusions: The average maternal mortality rate was 65.40 % per 100 000 live births, being the lowest rate reported at the moment, with prevalence of direct causes mainly hypertensive disorders of pregnancy 26.62 %.
