ABSTRACT
Introduction: Autopsy is the most complete method for studying the patient and the disease. Their results show the real health problems of a population.Objective: Characterize the distribution according to age and sex of the deceased with autopsies performed in the institution and identify the main causes of death in relation to sex, age groups and frequency of years.
Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was carried out, between 1962 and 2016, of the autopsies performed at the hospital. Study groups were organized by sex, age groups and institution years of work. The variables of causes of death and malignant tumors are explored by sex.
Results: The most frequent causes of death in relation to sex show similarity, with a high frequency of bronchopneumonia in almost a fifth of the autopsies. The causes of death according to age groups show similarity in the groups of older years. Cardiovascular, septic and tumor diseases, represented by the malignant tumor of the lung occupy the first places.
Conclusions: The experience gained in the study of thousands of autopsies, allows establishing methodological bases that must be analyzed as proposals to measure the quality of the medical assistance that is provided and the exposed results, valued as effective indicators of the health problems that must be faced.
