RESUMO

There are great number of evidences the allow to characterize the role of alcohol as a risk factor for diseases and death, besides several negative social consequences. Thus, consumption of alcoholic beverages has become a worldwide concern, being hailed as a major public health problem. Considering the limitations of health statistics that take into consideration only the basic cause, the purpose of this study was to describe the mortality related to alcohol consumption, according to multiple causes of death of the Ribeirão Preto micro region - SP for residence and/or occurrence from 1996 to 2007. This is a descriptive epidemiological study that used as a source the secondary data from the Mortality Information System of the Ministry of Health (SIM / MS). It was downloaded 100% of the files of deaths occurred in Brazil from 1996 to 2007 through available database on the SIM DATASUS (http://www.datasus.gov.br), and it was imported 324 files relating to declaration of death (DD). Using the APPENDA program, the database has gone through several filtering processes and 1,800 DDs were found mentioning alcohol (F10) as basic or associated cause of death. In the 1,800 DD documents refering to \ alcohol\ , there was predominance of males (90.1%), between 40-59 years old (56.9%), and of Caucasian ancestry (\ White\ , 65.7% ). Analysis of educational level attained was confounded due to the high number where this parameter was classed as \ unknown\ (78.8%). Post mortem examinations had been undertaken in 43.7% of cases and in 56.3% of these no laboratory tests were requested. The ICD-10 Chapters: IX- Diseases of the circulatory system, X- Diseases of the respiratory system and XI- Diseases of the digestive system were the three most frequently assigned causes of death, totaling 56.2% of basic causes and 48.7% of all recorded diagnoses. Among the main causes of death include diseases of the liver (K70-K77), pneumonia (J12-J18) and other respiratory diseases (J22, J66-J99), acute pancreatitis and other diseases of the pancreas (K85-K86 ), mental and behavioral disorders due to use of other psychoactive substances (F11-F19), other diseases of the digestive system (K83-k82, K87-K93), other heart diseases (I27-I43, I51-I52) and other diseases hypertension (I11-I15). Only 1% of deaths due to alcohol were mentioned in the chapter on external causes, and the analysis of the group ICD-10 revealed the absence of diagnoses of traffic accidents and violence as a basic causes, pointing to the existence of an important bias in the information flow between Institutes of Forensic Medicine - IMLS and the SIM. These results indicate that IML has information that the health sector needs, and they don´t pass this information through. Because of this, the DDs are incomplete, which means they are not included in official statistics. Thus, it was aroused the necessity of improvement on information flow between the reporting units and the SIM.
