Abstract

In Canada, most people prefer to die at home. However, the proportion of deaths that occur in hospital has increased over time. This study examined mortality rates and proportionate mortality in Innu communities in Labrador, and compared patterns to other communities in Labrador and Newfoundland. We conducted a cross-sectional ecological study with mortality data from the vital statistics system. This included information about all deaths in Newfoundland and Labrador from 1993 to 2018. We used descriptive statistics and rates to examine patterns by age, sex, cause and location. During the 2003 to 2018 period the leading cause of death in the Innu communities (excluding external causes) was cancer, followed by circulatory disease and respiratory disease. Between 1993 and 2018, there was a lower percentage of hospital deaths and a higher percentage of at home deaths in Innu communities than in the rest of the province. The majority of deaths among Innu were due to cancer and chronic diseases. We found a higher percentage of at home deaths in Innu communities compared to the rest of the province.

1993-2018 年拉布拉多因努人社区的死亡率:关于死亡原因和地点的横断面研究。
在加拿大,大多数人更愿意在家中去世。然而,随着时间的推移,在医院死亡的比例却在增加。本研究调查了拉布拉多因努人社区的死亡率和死亡比例,并将其模式与拉布拉多和纽芬兰的其他社区进行了比较。我们利用生命统计系统中的死亡率数据开展了一项横断面生态研究。其中包括 1993 年至 2018 年纽芬兰省和拉布拉多半岛的所有死亡信息。我们使用描述性统计和比率来研究按年龄、性别、原因和地点划分的模式。在 2003 年至 2018 年期间,因努人社区的主要死因(不包括外部原因)是癌症,其次是循环系统疾病和呼吸系统疾病。与该省其他地区相比,1993 年至 2018 年期间,因努人社区的医院死亡比例较低,而在家中死亡的比例较高。因努人的大部分死亡原因是癌症和慢性疾病。我们发现因努人社区的居家死亡比例高于该省其他地区。
