Introdução: O HIV/SIDA é um problema de saúde pública no mundo. Em Moçambique a taxa de prevalência actualizada em 2021 foi 12,5%, e cerca de 27% e 11% das mortes em 2007 e 2019 que ocorreram em todas as idades estavam relacionados ao HIV. Foi objectivo deste trabalho analisar o perfil epidemioló...
In sub-Saharan Africa, recent data about causes of adult death and care-seeking during illnesses are limited. This analysis examines adult deaths using verbal and social autopsy data from a nationally and provincially representative sample registration system in Mozambique. Causes of death among those 18...

Verbal autopsies (VAs) are extensively used to determine cause of death (COD) in many low- and middle-income countries. However, COD determination from VA can be inaccurate. Computer coded verbal autopsy (CCVA) algorithms used for this task are imperfect and misclassify COD for a large proportion of deat...

The Countrywide Mortality Surveillance for Action platform is collecting verbal autopsy (VA) records from a nationally representative sample in Mozambique. These records are used to estimate the national and subnational cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMFs) for children (1-59 months) and neonates (1...

Available information on the causes of death among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains scarce. We aimed to provide data on causes of death in PLHIV from two LMICs, Brazil and Mozambique, to assess the impact of clinical misdiagnosis ...

Background: Accurate information on causes of death (CoD) is essential to estimate burden of disease, track global progress, prioritize cost-effective interventions, and inform policies to reduce mortality. In low-income settings, where a significant proportion of deaths take place at home or in poorly-r...

Background
Although an increasing number of pregnant women in resource-limited areas deliver in health-care facilities, maternal mortality remains high in these settings. Inadequate diagnosis and management of common life-threatening conditions is an important determinant of maternal mortality. We analys...

Embora o diagnóstico de autópsia inclua rotineiramente uma avaliação completa de todos os resultados patológicos disponíveis e também de qualquer dado clínico disponível, a contribuição dessas informações clínicas para o rendimento diagnóstico da autópsia não foi analisada. Nosso objetiv...
Em janeiro de 2017, Moçambique lançou o sistema de vigilância de eventos vitais e causas de morte (comsa) para estabeleceu no sistema de registro por amostragem (SRS) para monitorar a mortalidade e as causas de morte. O instituto nacional de eeessstatisss555tiiica o instituto nacional da saúde com fi...

Postmortem studies, including the complete diagnostic autopsy (CDA) and the minimally invasive autopsy (MIA), an innovative approach to post-mortem sampling and cause of death investigation, are commonly performed within 24 hours after death because the quality of the tissues deteriorates over time.
