Resumo
The objective was to describe time trends in cervi-
cal cancer mortality rates in Brazil as a whole and
in the country’s major geographic regions and
States from 1980 to 2009. This was an ecological
time series study using data recorded in the Mor-
tality Information System (SIM) and census data
collected by the Brazilian Institute of Geography
and Statistics (IBGE). Analysis of mortality trends
was performed using Poisson regression. Cervical
cancer mortality rates in Brazil tended to stabi-
lize. In the geographic regions, a downward trend
was observed in the South (-4.1%), Southeast
(-3.3%), and Central-West (-1%) and an upward
trend in the Northeast (3.5%) and North (2.7%).
The largest decreases were observed in the States
of São Paulo ( 5.1%), Rio Grande do Sul, Espírito
Santo, and Paraná (-4.0%). The largest increases
in mortality trends occurred in Paraíba (12.4%),
Maranhão (9.8%), and Tocantins (8.9%). Cervical
cancer mortality rates stabilized in the country
as a whole, but there was a downward trend in
three geographic regions and 10 States, while two
geographic regions and another 10 States showed
increasing rates.
