| Abstract (English): |
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most common neoplasm worldwide, and Colombia is no exception. It is essential to study mortality from this condition in specific regions, as variations have been found even within the same country. The objective is to describe the mortality trends from colorectal cancer in the district of Barranquilla between 1985 and 2020. Methodology: A descriptive and retrospective study. Non-fetal death records with colorectal cancer as the underlying cause of death were analyzed from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) website for residents in Barranquilla between 1985 and 2020. Crude mortality rates were calculated for the years studied, along with the annual percentage changes in these rates. Results: A total of 3,201 deaths from colorectal cancer were recorded, with 59.6% in women and 21.7% in individuals aged 80 years or older. There was an increase in the age-adjusted mortality rate (per 100,000), from 5.1 to 12.7. Overall, there was an upward trend in the annual percentage changes in mortality rates. Conclusion: An increase in colorectal cancer mortality was observed in the district of Barranquilla. It is necessary to continue this line of research and investigate factors related to this trend.

Introducción: el cáncer colorrectal es la tercera neoplasia más frecuente a nivel mundial y Colombia no escapa a esta situación. Es necesario estudiar la mortalidad por esta patología en territorios específicos, ya que se ha encontrado que existen variaciones aún dentro de un mismo país. El objetivo es describir el comportamiento de la mortalidad por cáncer colorrectal en el distrito de Barranquilla entre 1985 y 2020. Metodología: estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo. Se analizaron las actas de defunciones no fetales ocurridas con lugar de residencia en el distrito de Barranquilla entre 1985 y 2020 de la página web del Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE) con cáncer colorrectal como causa básica de muerte. Se calcularon las tasas crudas de mortalidad para los años estudiados y las variaciones porcentuales anuales de estas tasas. Resultados: se presentaron 3201 fallecimientos por cáncer colorrectal, 59,6% en mujeres y 21,7% en personas de 80 años o más. Hubo un incremento en la tasa de mortalidad ajustada por edad (x 100.000), al pasar de 5,1 a 12,7. En general, hubo un aumento en las variaciones porcentuales anuales de las tasas de mortalidad. Conclusión: se presentó un aumento en la mortalidad por cáncer colorrectal en el distrito de Barranquilla. Es necesario continuar esta línea de investigación e indagar por factores relacionados con este evento. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
