Resumo: | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality of reported adult deaths by unknown causes and to explore their relationships with some indicators. METHOD: There were evaluated adult deaths by unknown causes for all Brazilian federal units from 1990 to 2000. Criteria were established to categorize the overall proportion of deaths by quality into four groups. The age patterns of ill-defined causes were represented by typical states and correlation coefficients between these causes and other indicators were estimated, such as external causes and urbanization level. RESULTS: "Good" quality data was found in the South-Southeast regions and "fair" quality in the North-Northeast regions. Improvement on reported deaths was seen in half of the states, especially for women. The proportion of ill-defined deaths increased with age and a strong association with death coverage, urbanization level and external causes was verified. CONCLUSIONS: Although lowered quality of reported deaths by basic causes was seen in several Brazilian states, the overall quality can be considered at least as satisfactory. This means the explanatory power of death statistics by defined causes can be recovered. |

OBJETIVO: Analisar a qualidade dos registros de óbitos por causas desconhecidas da população adulta e explorar suas relações com outros indicadores. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados dados de óbitos por causas desconhecidas da população adulta de todas as Unidades da Federação do Brasil, de 1990 a 2000. Os dados percentuais das mortes por essas causas foram classificados em quatro categorias quanto à qualidade. Os padrões etários das causas mal definidas foram representados por Estados-típicos e calculados coeficientes de correlação entre essas causas e alguns indicadores, como causas externas e grau de urbanização. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se "boa" qualidade dos registros de óbitos por causas desconhecidas para as regiões Sul-Sudeste e no máximo como "regular" para o Norte-Nordeste. Avanços nas declarações ocorreram para a metade dos estados do País, particularmente para as mulheres. As proporções de mal definidas aumentaram com as idades, associando-se à cobertura dos óbitos, o grau de urbanização e as mortes por causas externas. CONCLUSÕES: Embora tenha havido diminuição na qualidade das declarações das causas básicas de óbitos para vários estados do País, pode-se considerar a qualidade, no mínimo, como satisfatória. Isso significa que é possível resgatar o poder explicativo das estatísticas dos óbitos por causas definidas. Universidade de São Paulo.
