ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To present the methodological approach used to estimate injury morbidity (Years Lived with Disability, YLD) in the 2008 Global Burden of Disease study in Brazil (GBD-Br).

METHODS:

YLD was based on the admission rate for injuries from both public and private sector facilities. Morbidity arising from emergency room (ER) visits was estimated using logistic regression models of the likelihood of hospitalization for different types of injuries, controlling for sex, age and geographic region. Data was obtained from the Mortality Information System, the Hospitalization Information System of the Unified Health System and the 2009 survey for the Surveillance System for Violence and Accidents (VIVA).

RESULTS:

Injuries accounted for 10.0% of the total burden of disease in Brazil in 2008, corresponding to 19 years of life lost per 100 000 inhabitants. YLD accounted for 10% of total years of life lost.

CONCLUSIONS:

This approach represents a methodological advance, particularly due to the inclusion of the VIVA survey, which provides a more reliable measurement of the burden of injury in Brazil than other sources.
RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

Presentar el enfoque metodológico usado para calcular la morbilidad por lesiones (Años Vividos con Discapacidad, AVD) en el estudio sobre la Carga Mundial de Morbilidad del 2008 en el Brasil.

MÉTODOS:

El cálculo de los AVD se basó en la tasa de ingresos por lesiones en establecimientos sectoriales tanto públicos como privados. La morbilidad, obtenida a partir de las visitas a los servicios de urgencias, se calculó usando modelos de regresión logística de la probabilidad de hospitalización por diferentes tipos de lesiones, con control del sexo, la edad y la región geográfica. Los datos se obtuvieron del Sistema de Información de Mortalidad, el Sistema de Información de Hospitalización del Sistema de Salud Unificado y la encuesta del Sistema de Vigilancia de Violencias y Accidentes correspondiente al 2009.

RESULTADOS:

Las lesiones representaron el 10,0% de la carga total de morbilidad del Brasil en el 2008, lo que correspondía a 19 años de vida perdidos por 100 000 habitantes. Los AVD representaron un 10% del total de años de vida perdidos.

CONCLUSIONES:

Este enfoque representa un adelanto metodológico, en particular como consecuencia de la inclusión de la encuesta del Sistema de Vigilancia de Violencias y Accidentes, que proporciona una medición de la carga de lesiones en el Brasil más fiable que la de otras fuentes.
