Summary

By hospital mortality, the health of a population is identified. Death certificates are a valuable tool in establishing causes of death.

The objective will be to analyze the main causes of death in hospitalized patients by population groups of interest.

A retrospective observational study will be carried out, by analyzing the death databases of the Hospital Departamental of Villavicencio from January 2012 to May 2022. The records will be exported to Excel for review and debugging. Demographic variables and causes of death will be analyzed. The categorical variables will be described in frequency and proportion; the quantitative ones will be defined in their central distribution and dispersion. For comparison, the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney test will be performed according to the characteristics of the outcome studied.

It is expected to identify the main causes of death in the groups of interest (adults, maternal, infants, fetal and non-fetal, congenital malformations) and their characteristics.
