Abstract

Studies have shown different mortalities due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), ischemic heart disease (IHD) and cerebrovascular diseases (CbVD) in the five Brazilian regions. Socioeconomic conditions of those regions are frequently used to justify differences in mortality due to those diseases. In addition, studies have shown a reduction in the differences between the mortality rates of the five Brazilian regions. To update CVD mortality data in women and men in the five Brazilian regions. Mortality and population data were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and Ministry of Health. Risk of death was adjusted by use of the direct method, with the 2000 world standard population as reference. We analyzed trends in mortality due to CVD, IHD and CbVD in women and men aged ≥ 30 years in the five Brazilian regions from 1980 to 2012. Mortality due to: 1) CVD: showed reduction in the Northern, West-Central, Southern and Southeastern regions; increase in the Northeastern region; 2) IHD: reduction in the Southeastern and Southern regions; increase in the Northeastern region; and unchanged in the Northern and West-Central regions; 3) CbVD: reduction in the Southern, Southeastern and West-Central regions; increase in the Northeastern region; and unchanged in Northern region. There was also a convergence in mortality trends due to CVD, IHD, and CbVD in the five regions. The West-Central, Northern and Northeastern regions had the worst trends in CVD mortality as compared to the Southeastern and Southern regions. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2016; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0). Estudos mostraram diferentes mortalidades por doenças cardiovasculares (DCV), doença isquêmica do coração (DIC) e doenças cerebrovasculares (DCbV) nas cinco regiões do Brasil. Particularidades socioeconômicas entre as cinco regiões são frequentemente usadas para justificar diferenças na mortalidade por essas doenças. Estudos também mostraram redução das diferenças entre as taxas de mortalidade das cinco regiões do Brasil. Atualizar os dados de mortalidade por DCV em mulheres e homens nas cinco regiões do país. Os dados populacionais e de mortalidade foram obtidos do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística e do Ministério da Saúde. O risco de morte foi ajustado pelo método da padronização direta, tendo como referência a população mundial em 2000. Foram analisadas as tendências da mortalidade por DCV, DIC e DCbV em mulheres e homens com ≥ 30 anos de idade nas cinco regiões do Brasil no período de 1980-2012. Observou-se na mortalidade: 1) por DCV: redução nas regiões Norte, Centro-Oeste, Sul e Sudeste; aumento na região Nordeste; 2) por DIC: redução nas regiões Sudeste e Sul; aumento na região Nordeste; e inalterada nas regiões Norte e Centro-Oeste; 3) por DCbV: redução nas regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste; aumento na região Nordeste; e inalterada na região Norte. Observou-se também convergência das tendências da mortalidade por DCV, DIC e DCbV nas cinco regiões. As regiões Centro-Oeste, Norte e Nordeste tiveram as maiores taxas de mortalidade por DCV comparadas às regiões Sudeste e Sul. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2016; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0).

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 August 2016.
All research outputs
#16,721,717
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia
#456
of 1,210 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#237,896
of 377,580 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia
#5
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,210 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 377,580 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
