Resumo: | OBJECTIVE: Increased homicide rates in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the last two decades points out to the need for better understanding this subject. The purpose of the present study was to link information about homicide from different sources of data. METHODS: Homicide data from death certificates, medical examiners and police records of residents in the city of Sao Paulo was linked for the second semester of 2001. Variables about victims, risk factors and homicide circumstances were analyzed using absolute numbers, proportions and coefficients. Statistical differences were tested using Pearson's Chi-square test. RESULTS: Homicide crude rate was 57.2/100,000. Higher rates were observed among men aged 15 to 29 years (56.0% of all cases). The proportion of firearm-related homicides was 88.6%, higher among men than women. Most injuries were to the head (68.9%). Among the victims who underwent to drug screening, 42.5% had high blood alcohol concentrations (44.0% for men and 24.0% for women). Most events occurred at night during weekends and it was found a high correlation (74.6%) between the victim's place of residence and event location. CONCLUSIONS: The study findings highlight that linking information provides better quality of data and allows for better understanding of homicides. |

OBJETIVO: O aumento verificado nas taxas de homicídios aponta para a necessidade de melhorar a compreensão do problema. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi conhecer as informações adicionais acerca da mortalidade por homicídios provenientes de diferentes fontes de dados. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados os dados de homicídios entre residentes do Município de São Paulo, para o segundo semestre de 2001 obtidos nas declarações de óbito, laudos de necropsia e boletins de ocorrência policial. As informações foram analisadas sob a forma de números absolutos, proporções e coeficientes. Para a verificação de diferenças estatísticas foi utilizado o teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson. RESULTADOS: O coeficiente de homicídios foi 57,2/100.000, sendo que os valores mais altos foram encontrados entre os homens na faixa de 15 a 29 anos. O percentual do uso de armas de fogo foi 88,6%, mais alto entre homens que em mulheres. A localização anatômica de lesões mais freqüentes foi a cabeça (68,9%). Entre as vítimas que tiveram o exame toxicológico realizado, 42,5% tinham feito uso de álcool (44% para os homens e 24% nas mulheres). Há maior concentração de ocorrências nos finais de semana no horário noturno. Em 74,6% dos óbitos, as vítimas residiam próximas ou no mesmo local de ocorrência do evento. CONCLUSÕES: Os achados do estudo apontam que a integração de dados permite melhorar a qualidade da informação, contribuindo para a compreensão dos homicídios. Universidade de São Paulo.
