Introduction: Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death in children, among external causes, and the one that has the greatest family, social and economic impact. It is a public health problem, in which prevention is the main tool. Objectives: Describing the epidemiological profile of children from 0 to 11 years old who were victims of drowning and accidental submersion that evolved to death in the Brazilian regions and capitals from 2010 to 2017. Methodology: Ecological study whose data were collected from the Mortality Information System (SIM) provided by the IT Department of the Unified Health System (Datasus). The study variables were: age, sex, race/color, year of death (2010 to 2017), place of death, region of occurrence and the primary cause of death classified in ICD-10, with alpha numeric code W65 to W74. The variables were grouped by Brazilian Regions. Results: Drowning as the primary cause of death in children in Brazil represented 19.3% (6,296) of all deaths from external causes, with the highest proportion (32.8%) observed in the Northern Region. The highest proportion of drowning deaths occurred in the state capitals was observed in the Midwest Region (25.1%), followed by the North Region (19.3%). It was observed that deaths from drowning children tend to increase in the Midwest and South regions and to decrease in the North, Northeast and Southeast regions. The predominant age group of deaths was between 0 and 2 years of age (2,405), mainly in the North, Midwest, South and Southeast. In the Northeast, there was superiority in the age group from 6 to 11 years (919), with the highest absolute number of drowning deaths in children. There was a predominance in males (4,337) in all Brazilian regions, with higher occurrence in the Northeast. Brown race/color was predominant in all regions except the Southern region. The mortality rate was higher in children aged from 0 to 2 years (163) in all regions. The main day of the week for all regions was Sunday, with a predominance of afternoon time. As for the place of occurrence, excluding the unspecified place of occurrence (615), the drowning of children in natural waters (422) stood out in all regions, followed by residence, for the North and Northeast regions and pool in the Center regions. West, South and Southeast. In the North and Northeast regions, the most frequent age range in natural waters is from 6 to 11 years and in residence from 0 to 2 years. While in the South, Southeast and Midwest, the occurrence of drowning in natural waters predominated, with the most frequent age range between 6 and 11 years, followed by swimming pool, aged between 0 and 2 years. Conclusion: We emphasize the importance of the results obtained for the creation of drowning prevention strategies in children, contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of families and society as a whole.
Perfil epidemiológico da mortalidade infantil por sepse no estado do Pará

Sepsis is the leading cause of death in Intensive Care Units (ICU) worldwide, with an estimated number of more than 48 million cases and 11 million deaths annually. Sepsis can be considered one of the main adverse events that impact life, as it is life-threatening and can be defined as the systemic response to an infectious disease, whether caused by pathogens. To carry out an epidemiological study that identifies the epidemiological profile of mortality due to sepsis in children in the state of Pará. This was a cross-sectional, quantitative epidemiological study that consulted the public database (TABNET) from 2021 to 2023. The sample The research was obtained through screening of data obtained from the mortality database for children in age group 1. From the consultation, the data obtained was organized and tabulated. From this, we proceeded with statistical analysis using the GraphPad software, performing parametric and non-parametric tests, to define incidence, prevalence and epidemiological profile. It is observed in the results of this research that the incidence of mortality due to sepsis affects boys and girls in the same proportion, being preponderant in the metropolitan region of the state and of mixed race ethnicity, as well as being predominant in public hospitals, however treatment in the state of Pará is being effective because the number of hospitalizations is greater than the number of deaths recorded, and the year with the highest number was 2021. It is worth highlighting that several factors influence this index, such as family income, which tends to be aggravating in families of low, the absence of basic public health, such as water and electricity, and access to the private health system, which increases hospitalizations in public systems. Therefore, it is a plausible discussion and a challenge to be met to improve the supply and public health assistance for the population, intensifying prevention and health promotion. Thus, this research makes it possible to reflect on the importance of the theme of epidemiological studies on sepsis, reinforcing both that there is no difference in mortality between patient sexes, the occurrence in greater proportions in the public service, as well as the importance of evaluating whether the reduction of mortality in hospitalized patients is due to improvements in team training, or underreporting of mortality in the systems. Therefore, it is extremely important to collect epidemiological data in the region, as this generates data and statistical analyzes that can be compared, generating impacts on community health prevention.
