Abstract

Introduction: Cervical cancer mortality is considered preventable. High rates and an upward temporal trend and observed in Brazil’s Northeast. Objective: To evaluate the spatial distribution of cervical cancer mortality of municipalities in Brazil’s Northeast in the period 2015-2019 and its correlation with sociodemographic indicators. Method: Mortality data were obtained from DATASUS Mortality Information System. Mortality rates per 100,000 women were calculated and smoothed using the empirical Bayesian estimator. The spatial correlation of mortality rates was evaluated using the global and local Moran index. Moreover, the correlation between mortality rates and sociodemographic indicators was tested using bivariate analysis. Mapping and analyzes were performed using GeoDa and R software, values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Rates ranged from 1.0 to 27.2 deaths per 100,000 women, with the highest rates concentrated in the municipalities of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Alagoas, and Sergipe. Clusters with high mortality were observed in the municipalities of Maranhão and Piauí (close to Maranhão) on the coast of Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, and Bahia. An association between socioeconomic indicators and mortality by cervical cancer was found. Municipalities with the worst indicators show higher mortality rates by this neoplasm. Conclusion: High mortality rates were observed in municipalities with the worst sociodemographic indicators, indicating the health system’s limitations in reducing these rates in cities with low socioeconomic development.
