Abstract:

This review article aims to perform analysis and critical discussion about the literature on mortality correction methods by accidents and violence reported to the Brazilian Mortality Information System . The Medline and Scielo databases were consulted, as well as the Global Burden of Disease site, using time filter for 1996-2015 interval. From 29 out of the 77 studies identified, 29 were selected, and 14 met the corrections production criteria for cases of underregistration: underreporting of deaths in the Mortality Information System, deaths declared as ill-defined causes or deaths due to external causes declared with nonspecific codes. It was found that the undercount of external causes was not significantly different from what occurs in the total deaths, and in some cases was higher in small and medium-sized municipalities. The reclassification of ill-defined causes of death corrected external causes to non negligible values. The selected studies differ on proposals for correction of unspecified external causes. There is evidence supporting interventions to improve the quality of data, and also the availability of correction procedure of external causes that bring together application conditions.
