To describe the epidemiological characteristics of suicide mortality in the state of Pernambuco, from 1996 to 2015.
Study with data from the Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade. The simple linear regression model was used to verify the trend in the period analyzed.
There were 6,229 suicides, of which 3,390 (54.4%) occurred in the second decade of study. The mortality rate was 4.7 per 100,000 inhabitants. The temporal trend presented a decrease of 23.5% (p=0.031). For the male sex and the age range between 20 and 39 years, there was a decline in self-inflicted death of 23.8% (p=0.018) and 26.1% (p=0.046), respectively.
The temporal analysis revealed a reduction in suicide mortality coefficients. This observation may contribute to better targeting of health interventions, optimizing resources and efforts, especially in suicide prevention.
描述 1996 年至 2015 年伯南布哥州自杀死亡率的流行病学特征。
本研究的数据来源于 Mortalidade 信息系统。采用简单线性回归模型来验证分析期间的趋势。
共发生 6229 例自杀事件，其中 3390 例（54.4%）发生在研究的第二个十年。死亡率为每 10 万人中有 4.7 人。时间趋势显示下降了 23.5%（p=0.031）。对于男性和 20-39 岁年龄组，自杀死亡率分别下降了 23.8%（p=0.018）和 26.1%（p=0.046）。
时间分析显示自杀死亡率系数有所降低。这一观察结果可能有助于更有针对性地开展卫生干预措施，优化资源和努力，特别是在预防自杀方面。
