Abstract

The research note entitled Assessment of incompleteness of Mortality Information System records on deaths from external causes in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, 2000-2019 1 presented results of an ecological time series study based on the analysis of deaths from external causes (ECs), specifically, from transport accidents, homicides, suicides and falls, occurred in Rio Grande do Sul, registered on the Mortality Information System ( Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade - SIM), between 2000 and 2019. There were discrepancies in the decreasing trends observed for sociodemographic variables among the alarming number of deaths analyzed (n = 146,882), according to causes of death. Fatal or non-fatal occupational injuries, although preventable, are a significant (and partially hidden) public health problem in Brazil. Underreporting of fatal occupational injuries (FOI) in the country, although not appropriately dimensioned, is recognized. 2,3 FOI should be recorded in various information sources, including those from the Ministry of Health (SIM; Notifiable Health Conditions Information System – Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação - SINAN; and, mainly, Hospital Information System of the Brazilian National Health System – Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema
