RESUMO
Fundamento: según la Organización Mundial de la Salud la diabetes causa 300 000 muertes al año en América Latina y el Caribe y en la provincia Cienfuegos desde el año 2020 se ubica como séptima causa de fallecimientos. Objetivo caracterizar la mortalidad por diabetes mellitus en la provincia Cienfuegos en los primeros nueve meses del año 2020. Métodos: se realizó una investigación en sistemas y servicios de salud de tipo descriptiva a partir de una serie de casos para caracterizar la mortalidad por diabetes mellitus en Cienfuegos en los primeros nueve meses del año 2020. Los fallecidos se compilaron teniendo en cuenta: sexo, edad, color de la piel, nivel de escolaridad, lugar de residencia, estrato territorial, enfermedad, factores de riesgo asociados y causas de muertes directas. Se emplearon la media aritmética y la desviación estándar. Los resultados se presentan en forma de tablas y gráficos. Resultados la mayor afectación estuvo en las últimas décadas de la vida para el género femenino, así como la residencia en un territorio urbano, están entre las primeras causas directas de muerte el tromboembolismo pulmonar, así como la insuficiencia renal crónica agudizada, se destaca el desequilibrio hidroelectrolítico en un número considerable de las defunciones. Conclusiones las últimas décadas de la vida fueron las más afectadas y el sexo femenino, las principales causas de muerte fueron: el tromboembolismo pulmonar y la insuficiencia renal crónica agudizada. El desequilibrio hidroelectrolítico sobresale en un considerable número de los fallecidos.

Results: the greatest affectation was in the last decades of life for the female gender, as well as residence in an urban territory, among the first direct causes of death are pulmonary thromboembolism, as well as acute chronic renal failure; hydroelectrolytic imbalance stands out in a considerable number of deaths. Conclusions: the last decades of life were the most affected and the female sex, the main causes of death were: pulmonary thromboembolism and acute chronic renal failure. The hydroelectrolytic imbalance stands out in a considerable number of the deceased.
RESUMO
Objetivo: avaliar a mortalidade materna na região Sul do Brasil, do período de 1996 a 2005. Métodos: estudo ecológico descritivo, avaliando-se todas as mortes maternas de mulheres entre 10 e 49 anos no banco de dados do DATASUS. Resultados: a Razão de Mortalidade Materna foi de 59,48/100.000 nascidos vivos. A avaliação do banco de dados fornecido para o estudo evidenciou que 63% dos óbitos maternos ocorreram por causas diretas, sendo as etiologias mais frequentes as doenças hipertensivas, e hemorrágicas O puerpério foi o período menos frequente de mortes maternas sendo que a grande maioria dos casos ocorreram em ambiente hospitalar. Conclusão: esses resultados demonstram a deficiência da saúde pública e a necessidade de desenvolver-se programas que visem melhorar a qualidade da assistência médica durante a gestação, o parto e o puerpério além de criar estratégias eficazes pra se prevenir a morte materna, uma vez que a grande maioria desses óbitos são passíveis de prevenção.
Objective: to assess maternal mortality in Southern Brazil, the period from 1996 to 2005. Methods: an ecological descriptive study, assessing all the maternal deaths of women between 10 and 49 years in the database of DATASUS. Results: the Ratio of Maternal Mortality was 59.48 per 100,000 live births. The evaluation of the database provided for the study showed that 63% of maternal deaths occurred due to direct, and the most frequent etiologies hypertensive diseases, hemorrhagic and infectious period of puerperal respectively. The most common period in which the maternal deaths has occurred during pregnancy, childbirth or abortion and the vast majority of cases occurred in hospitals. Conclusion: these results demonstrate the deficiency of public health and the need to develop programs that improve the quality of medical care during pregnancy, delivery and puerperium and create effective strategies for preventing maternal deaths is because the large most of these deaths are likely to prevention.
