2 preface This fourteenth pulication on the health situation of the Region of the Americas includes a set of asic indicators and provides the latest information availale on 5 asic indicators for 4 countries and territories, as well as for groupings of countries or suregions. Resolution CD40.R0, Collection and Use of Core Health Data, requires the Memer States of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to gather data in order to develop these asic indicators. This year the pulication includes an analysis of the quality of mortality data ased on the proportion of mortality underregistration and on the proportion of deaths assigned to illdefined and unknown causes. This information was used to develop an index for classifying the quality of mortality data. The results show that of the 32 countries studied, 9 (59%) have good quality mortality data, and 7 countries (%) have poor or very poor quality mortality data. In addition to prolems with data quality, 2 countries from Central America and 4 Cariean countries were excluded from the analysis due to their critical situation in the availaility of mortality data. There is also a comparison etween estimated infant and maternal mortality using the World Health Organization methodology and those calculated from data reported y the countries. This comparison allows for etter visualization of differences etween different ways of measuring the same indicator and provides a parameter for discussing the validity of these important health indicators. Information required for decisionmaking must e availale, ut also accurate and timely. In this pulication we want to emphasize those aspects that reveal differences in the quality of data oserved among the different countries in the Region. By doing so, it is expected that those responsile for health statistics in the countries of the Americas will e encouraged to implement improvements in the collection, validation, analysis and dissemination of data. Strengthening and improving health information is everyone s responsiility, therefore, PAHO developed the Regional Plan of Action for Strengthening Vital and Health Statistics, approved y the Executive Committee (Resolution CE42.R4, June ). The Plan requests PAHO to provide technical cooperation to countries in order to improve the quality and coverage of vital and health statistics, to promote horizontal cooperation, to estalish a collaoration mechanism among the different areas of PAHO, and to coordinate actions with other international agencies and relevant actors in order to strengthen the health information systems of the countries in the Region. The material presented in this rochure has een compiled, drafted, and reviewed y PAHO staff at Headquarters and country levels and staff from ministries of health. For more information, including all asic indicators and their definitions, please refer to Mirta Roses Periago Director () More information can e found at For this pulication: Latin America includes Mexico, the Central American Isthmus, the Latin Cariean, the Andean Area, Brazil, and the Southern Cone. Latin America and the Cariean comprise Latin America and nonlatin Cariean. Brazil and Mexico appear separately due to their population sizes.

Deviances from the straight line reflect the differences etween rates/ratios reported y the countries and WHO estimates. Tale shows maternal and infant mortality reported y countries and estimated y WHO. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR): Four countries (GUY, MEX, SUR, TTO) report infant mortality rates lower than the WHO estimates. The relative difference etween the reported and estimated mortality in these countries is greater than 50%. Two countries (ATG, VCT) show reported rates higher than the estimated rate, with a relative difference of over 30% (Figure ). In general, the differences oserved may stem from the assumptions used in the WHO estimation methodology or from possile underregistration of irths and/or infant deaths. In Mexico, for example, we oserve a large difference etween the rate reported y the country and the estimated rate although Mexico has a good vital statistics system. Additionally, it can e oserved that countries with higher reported rates than estimated tend to have smaller populations and the estimation error is larger. Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR): Figure 2 shows the comparison etween the maternal mortality ratio in the two different sources where the estimates are in most cases higher than the figures reported y the countries. In four countries, the estimates are more than 00% higher than the figures reported (ECU, SLV, GUY, DOM). The estimates for ARG, COL, GTM, JAM, NIC, and PAN are 50% to 00% higher than the country reported figures. The estimates for BRA and CUB are approximately 50% higher than their reported figures. Oserved differences etween the estimated and reported maternal mortality ratio are higher than those for the infant mortality rate. Conclusion: Since monitoring of maternal and infant mortality is part of the Millennium Development Goals, having methodologies that allow the validation of reported indicators is essential. The analysis of the data has shown that estimation does not always provide reliale indicators for certain countries. For example, estimation of infant mortality in Mexico shows: a) a rate different to the national reality and ) a rate not consistent to other countries. It is therefore necessary to work with the countries in the identification of methodologies that will lead to an improvement in the quality of mortality data, and to develop correction methods for immediate use in areas such as monitoring and health situation analysis. Limitations: Estimates of WHO correspond to the year (MMR) and 200 (IMR). The data reported y the countries does not necessarily correspond to the year of the estimates. The magnitude of some differences etween reported and estimated is very large and cannot e explained solely due to the difference in years. The following countries have een excluded from the analysis for lack of uptodate information ( or most recent year): MMR: ANT, GUF, HON, PER; IMR: ANT, GTM, JAM. Furthermore, countries with few events were not included, owing to the fluctuation in the rate/ratio over time.

12 technical notes & sources Technical notes: Infant mortality rate (IMR) and maternal mortality ratio (MMR) (BI 0, ) are reported or estimated y countries. Data are presented when the variation coefficient (relative standard error) is less than 23%; otherwise the numer of deaths is shown. An increase of MMR or IMR may reflect an improvement in data coverage and quality. Certified deaths due to illdefined and unknown conditions (BI ) refers to death certificates issued in a given year for which the underlying cause of death was symptoms, signs, and illdefined and unknown conditions (ICD9 codes 707; ICD0 codes R00R). Mortality underregistration (BI 7) is determined y sutracting from the cumulative deaths registered in a countryperiod divided y the corresponding cumulative estimated deaths, otained after applying the UN estimated crude death rates to the corresponding population estimates y the UN. Corrected mortality rates (BI Tc/Mc/Fc IB 2Tc/Mc/Fc) were computed ased on registered mortality data, applying a correction algorithm for mortality underregistration and a redistriution algorithm for deaths from illdefined causes. The methodology used is presented in Health Statistics from the Americas, 200 edition ( The rates represent the average mortality for three years. General corrected mortality rates for Bolivia and Honduras were determined with UN lifetales and UN population estimates. Ageadjusted mortality rates (BI Ta/Ma/Fa BI 2Ta/Ma/Fa) were computed y direct standardization to the World Standard Population (2,400 under year; 9,00 from to 4 years; 9,000 from 5 to 4 years;,000 from 5 to 44 years; 9,000 from 45 to 4 years; and 7,000 5 years and older) (WHO, World Health Statistics Annual; Edition; Geneva, ). Malaria risk areas population (BI 3) shows the proportion of the population in a country living in high and moderate malaria transmission risk areas. Moderate risk: API etween to 0/,000 pop; high risk: API > 0/,000 pop. Data from previous years were used to calculate the estimated APIs. National Health Expenditure (BI 42A) corresponds to expenditure in the function health (Division 07) of the Functional Classification of the Government Expenditure y Functions of the International Family of Classifications of the United Nations. It includes expenditures y general government, from social security funds and other pulic health insurance systems (mandatory). Data come from the International Monetary Fund s Government Finance Statistics dataase (Printed version 200 and CD, ) and from pulic health insurance institutions financial reports.
