to describe the mortality from external causes, by Health Regions in Pernambuco, during the periods of2001-2003 and 2011-2013.
descriptive study with data from the Mortality Information System. For data analysis we used percentage, percentage variation and proportion ratio.
mortality from external causes reduced in Pernambuco, however, mortality increased in some health regions of the countryside. Increased numbers of deaths from accidents and event of undetermined intent were registered. There was an increase of deaths classified as “other/unspecified” event of undetermined intent.
there was a change in the spatial distribution of mortality from external causes moving to Pernambuco countryside regions. We found necessity for data classification regarding deaths from external causes and strengthening of the monitoring.
