Artigo Inequalities in esophageal cancer mortality in Brazil: temporal trends and projections(Plos One, 2018) Telles, Mauricio Wiering Pinto; Santos, Juliano dos; Meira, Karina Cardoso; Simões, Taynãna Cesar; Guimarães, Raphael Mendonça; Borges, Laiane Felix; Assis, Auzenda Conceição Parreira de; Silva, Maria das Vitorias; Barbosa, Isabelle Ribeiro; Giusti, Angela Carolina Brandão de Souza; Santos, Camila Alves dos; Souza, Dyego Leandro Bezerra de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5568-6877The main objective of the study was to analyze the effect of age, period and birth cohort on esophageal cancer mortality in Brazil and its geographic regions, per sex. An ecological study is presented herein, which evaluated the deaths by esophageal cancer and the distribution, per geographic region. Poisson Regression was utilized to calculate the effects of age, period and birth cohort, and projections were made with the statistical software R, using the age-period-cohort model. Projection of data covered the period 2015–2029. Regarding the geographic regions of Brazil, a decrease was verified, throughout time, for the mortality rates of the South and Southeast regions, for men and women. For the North, Northeast and Midwest regions, an increase was evidenced in mortality rates, mainly for men, after the 2000's. Regarding the projections, a progressive increase of mortality rates was verified for the Northeast and North regions. Divergences evidenced for observed and projected esophageal cancer mortality rates revealed inequalities among the geographic regions of Brazil.Artigo Trends and predictions for gastric cancer mortality in Brazil(World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016) Souza, Dyego Leandro Bezerra de; Giusti, Angela Carolina Brandão de Souza; Salvador, Pétala Tuani Candido de Oliveira; Santos, Juliano dos; Camacho, Amanda Rodrigues; Guimarães, Raphael Mendonça; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8426-3120AIM: To analyze the effect of age-period and birth cohort on gastric cancer mortality, in Brazil and across its five geographic regions, by sex, in the population over 20 years of age, as well as make projections for the period 2010-2029. METHODS: An ecological study is presented herein, which distributed gastric cancer-related deaths in Brazil and its geographic regions. The effects of age-period and birth cohort were calculated by the Poisson regression model and projections were made with the age-period-cohort model in the statistical program R. RESULTS: Progressive reduction of mortality rates was observed in the 1980’s, and then higher and lower mortality rates were verified in the 2000’s, for both sexes, in Brazil and for the South, Southeast and Midwest regions. A progressive decrease in mortality rates was observed for the Northeast (both sexes) and North (men only) regions within the period 1995-1999, followed by rising rates. CONCLUSION: Regional differences were demonstrated in the mortality rates for gastric cancer in Brazil, and the least developed regions of the country will present increases in projected mortality rates.
