Abstract

The aim was to map evidence on the quality of records in the Mortality Information System (SIM) through a national scoping review of articles published up to April 2023 across five databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, LILACS, and SciELO). Studies focused on specific causes of death were excluded. Dimensions evaluated included accessibility, methodological clarity, coverage, completeness, reliability, consistency, non-duplication, timeliness, validity, and studies on ill-defined causes/garbage codes. Among the 33 included articles, a general improvement in SIM quality was observed, with a 68.5% reduction in garbage codes (2000-2015). However, regional inequalities in SIM persist, with coverage below 90% in Acre and Maranhão and poorer performance in the North and Northeast regions. A robust SIM is essential for public health strategies aimed at preventing avoidable deaths.

[巴西死亡率信息系统（SIM）的质量评价：范围审查]。

目的是通过对截至2023年4月在5个数据库（PubMed、Embase、Scopus、LILACS和SciELO）中发表的文章进行全国性范围审查，绘制死亡率信息系统（SIM）中记录质量的证据图谱。侧重于特定死亡原因的研究被排除在外。评估的维度包括可访问性、方法清晰度、覆盖率、完整性、可靠性、一致性、非重复、及时性、有效性，以及对定义不清的原因/垃圾代码的研究。在纳入的33篇文章中，观察到SIM质量的普遍改善，垃圾代码减少了68.5%（2000-2015）。然而，SIM的区域不平等仍然存在，Acre和maranh的覆盖率低于90%，北部和东北部地区的表现较差。健全的全民健康调查对于旨在预防可避免死亡的公共卫生战略至关重要。
