The aim of this study was to present epidemiological data on hospitalizations and deaths related to asthma in Brazil over the past 11 years.
An ecological study was conducted on asthma-related hospitalizations and mortality in Brazil from 2013 to 2023, using data extracted from the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Unified Health System and the Mortality Information System.
Asthma-related deaths showed an increasing trend during the analyzed period. A surge in deaths was observed in 2022 compared to 2014 (difference between means = 56.08 ± 19.7; 95% CI = 15.2-96.9). The mean number of deaths was higher among females, with their rate remaining stable, while the rate for males increased. Individuals aged >60 years accounted for approximately 65% of all asthma-related deaths from 2013 to 2023, with a strong direct correlation observed between age and the number of deaths, regardless of sex. During the same period, the total number of asthma-related hospitalizations in Brazil showed a declining trend, decreasing from 134,322 in 2013 to 87,707 in 2023.
Over the past 11 years, asthma-related deaths have increased in Brazil, with the majority occurring among females. Older individuals accounted for most asthma-related deaths, and a positive correlation was observed between age and the number of deaths.
本研究旨在呈现巴西过去11年中与哮喘相关的住院和死亡的流行病学数据。
采用生态研究方法，利用从巴西统一卫生系统信息部和死亡信息系统提取的数据，对2013年至2023年巴西与哮喘相关的住院情况和死亡率进行研究。
在分析期间，与哮喘相关的死亡呈上升趋势。与2014年相比，2022年死亡人数激增（均值差异=56.08±19.7；95%置信区间=15.2-96.9）。女性的平均死亡人数较高，其死亡率保持稳定，而男性的死亡率则有所上升。2013年至2023年，60岁以上个体约占所有与哮喘相关死亡人数的65%，无论性别，年龄与死亡人数之间均存在强烈的直接相关性。同一时期，巴西与哮喘相关的住院总数呈下降趋势，从2013年的134,322例降至2023年的87,707例。
在过去11年中，巴西与哮喘相关的死亡人数有所增加，其中大多数发生在女性中。老年人占哮喘相关死亡的大多数，且年龄与死亡人数之间存在正相关。
