RESUMO
Objecto. Explora-se a aplicabilidad da análise por causa múltipla de morte para o estudo do cancro cervicouterino. Métodos. Desenho de mortalidade proporcional para analisar todas as causas consignadas na totalidade dos certificados de morte por cancro cervicouterino de mulheres maiores de 18 anos do Estado de México (367), e 515 certificados de mulheres falecida por outras causas. Resultados. Encontrou-se uma razão de causa básica/múltipla de 2.9 nos certificados de morte, isto é pela cada causa básica encontraram-se 2.9 As mulheres falecidas por cancro cervicouterino morrem cinco anos dantes que as que morrem por outras causas (p<0.05). Ao ajustar as análise por causa múltipla para cancro cervicouterino por idade, escolaridad, estado civil, e direito habiencia, destaca a participação dos tumores malignos de lugares mau definidos como causas contribuintes e condicionantes [OR=14.24 (1.67-121.0) e OR=18.98 (2.28-157.56, respectivamente]; seguido pela diabetes mellitus também como contribuintes e sócias [OR=1.82 (1.02-3.27) e OR=7.78(1.46-41.37)] e a hipertensión arterial sistémica como causa sócia [OR = 3.0 (1.39-6.47)]. Conclusões. Causa múltipla é uma análise adequada para observar as doenças que intervêm, contribuem, condicionan e se associam ao cancro cervicouterino no momento da morte.
Objective. The study explores the applicability of the multiple-cause-of-death analysis for cervical-uterine cancer. Methods. A proportional mortality hazard design and the analysis of all causes of death due to cervical-uterine cancer from 367 death certificates of women older than 18 years of age from the State of Mexico, and 515 age and year adjusted sample of death certificates of women from the same region who died from other causes. Results. A basic multiple cause of death of 2.9 was observed in the death certificates, i.e., for every basic cause there were 2.9 multiple causes. When adjusting the multiple-causes-of-death analysis for cervical-uterine cancer by age, education, marital and insurability status, the most contributing and associated causes of death were malignant tumors from unspecified sites [OR=18.98 (2.28-157.56) and OR=14.25 (1.67-121.0)] respectively; Diabetes Mellitus as a contributing [OR=1.82 (1.02-3.27) and associated cause [OR=7.78 (1.46-41.37], and systemic arterial hypertension as an associated cause [OR=3.00 (1.40-6.47)]. Conclusions. The multiple-cause-of-death analysis is an adequate to observe the diseases that contribute condition and are associated to the cervical-uterine cancer.
