Resumo
The objective of this study was to analyze the trend of the age standardized mortality rate (ASMR) for cervical cancer in Brazil between 2005 and 2019 and investigate its association with the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), an indicator of development status strongly correlated with health outcomes. We conducted an ecological time-series study using data from the Mortality Information System of the Ministry of Health. Trend analyses were performed using Prais–Winsten regression. The association between the SDI and ASMR was evaluated using simple linear regression. Between 2005 and 2019, 105,472 deaths from cervical cancer were recorded. The ASMR was 10.18 deaths/100,000 women. The North region presented the highest magnitude (20.23 deaths/100,000 women) and the Southeast region the lowest (7.83 deaths/100,000 women). We observed a decreasing trend of the ASMR for cervical cancer in the country. The Northeast, Central-West and Southeast regions showed a decreasing trend; South stationary trend and the North region showed an increasing trend. Most of the states showed a stationary or decreasing trend. It was found that the SDI was inversely associated with the ASMR and Annual Percent Change (APC). In conclusion, we observed a decreasing trend of ASMR for cervical cancer and inverse association with SDI in Brazil.
