Dengue in Colombia is an important public health problem due to the huge economic and social costs it has caused, especially during the disease outbreaks.
To describe the behavior of dengue mortality in Colombia between 1985 and 2012.
We conducted a descriptive study. Information was obtained from mortality and population projection databases provided by the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE) for the 1985-2012 period. Mortality rates, rate ratios, and case fatality rates were estimated.
A total of 1,990 dengue deaths were registered during this period in Colombia. Dengue mortality rates presented an increasing trend with statistical significance between 1985 and 1998. Higher mortality rates were reported in men both younger than 5 years and older than 65 years. Between 1995 and 2012, category 1 to 4 municipalities reported the highest mortality rates. Case fatality rates varied during the period between 0.01% and 0.39%.
Dengue is an avoidable disease that should disappear from mortality statistics as a cause of death. The event is avoidable if the proposed activities from the Estrategia de Gestión Integrada (EGI)-Dengue are implemented and evaluated. We recommend encouraging the development of an informational culture to contribute to decision making and prioritizing resource allocation.
由于登革热在哥伦比亚造成了巨大的经济和社会成本，尤其是在疾病爆发期间，它已成为一个重要的公共卫生问题。
描述1985年至2012年期间哥伦比亚登革热死亡率的变化情况。
我们进行了一项描述性研究。信息来自国家统计局（DANE）提供的1985 - 2012年期间的死亡率和人口预测数据库。估算了死亡率、率比和病死率。
在此期间，哥伦比亚共登记了1990例登革热死亡病例。1985年至1998年期间，登革热死亡率呈上升趋势，具有统计学意义。5岁以下和65岁以上男性的死亡率较高。1995年至2012年期间，1至4类城市的死亡率最高。在此期间，病死率在0.01%至0.39%之间波动。
登革热是一种可避免的疾病，应从死亡率统计数据中作为死因消失。如果实施并评估综合管理战略（EGI）-登革热提出的活动，这一情况是可以避免的。我们建议鼓励发展信息文化，以有助于决策和优先分配资源。
