Colombia has an endemo-epidemic for malaria, with a downward trend in mortality over the last few decades. This study describes the malaria mortality rates from 2009-2018.
We obtained data from the Colombian Mortality Information System and calculated the case fatality and crude and age-adjusted mortality rates.
During the study, 148 malaria-related deaths were registered. The average annual mortality rate was 0.032 deaths/100,000. Two peaks were observed in 2010 and 2016. Choco contributed to the highest number of deaths (27.7%).
The unstable downward trend of malaria mortality rates calls for greater emphasis on surveillance and interventions.
哥伦比亚存在疟疾地方性流行,过去几十年死亡率呈下降趋势。本研究描述了 2009 年至 2018 年的疟疾死亡率。
我们从哥伦比亚死亡率信息系统获取数据,并计算病死率、粗死亡率和年龄调整死亡率。
研究期间,共登记了 148 例与疟疾相关的死亡病例。年平均死亡率为 0.032 例/10 万人。2010 年和 2016 年出现了两个高峰。乔科省的死亡人数最多(27.7%)。
疟疾死亡率不稳定的下降趋势需要更加重视监测和干预措施。
