鉴于巴西因 COVID-19 大流行导致的死亡人数不断增加，本研究对 2020 年 3 月至 5 月在首都和其他城市观察到的超额死亡率进行了初步和探索性描述性分析。数据来源是民事登记处的死亡登记。数据按性别以及 26 个联邦单位和联邦区的首都和其他城市进行分类。以2019年死亡率系数为标准计算2020年标准化死亡率。结果显示，研究期间有 39,146 人超额死亡，其中男性死亡人数更高。这一增长在北部、东北和东南地区的首府中更为显着。在这些地区的其他城市，5 月份观察到病例有所增加，表明可能存在内陆 COVID-19 传播。强调需要改进病例的发现和登记，以实现对大流行的有效监测。
Given the growing number of deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, this study presents an initial and exploratory descriptive analysis of the excess mortality observed from March to May 2020 in capitals and other municipalities. The data source was the death registers from the Civil Registry Offices. The data were disaggregated by gender and capitals and other municipalities of the 26 federative units and the Federal District. The standardized mortality ratio for 2020 was calculated with the 2019 mortality coefficients as standards. The results showed 39,146 excess deaths for the period studied and is higher among men. This increase was more significant among the capitals of the North, Northeast, and Southeast regions. In the other municipalities in these regions, the increase was observed in May, indicating a possible inland-bound COVID-19 transmission. The need to improve the detection and registration of cases is highlighted to enable the efficient monitoring of the pandemic.
