Abstract

Objective: To analyze the factors associated to mortality in hospitalized patients due to external
causes, according to the characteristics of the individuals, the injuries and hospitalizations.
Method: Cross-sectional study based on secondary data from medical records of patients
admitted to a general hospital in Bahia who died from external causes. Data was analyzed
through descriptive statistics, and for verification of the factors associated with hospital
mortality Pearson’s Chi-square test was performed.
Results: There were 5,537 hospitalizations due to external causes at the referred hospital
from 2009 to 2013, of which 192 (3.7%) evolved to death. There was an association between
hospital deaths and the variable: age group (p = 0.001), city where the injury/violent act
occurred (p = 0.018), type of external causes (p = 0.001), injury nature (p = 0.018), body
segment (p = 0.001) and day of the week (p = 0.005).
Conclusion: Identification of the factors associated with hospital mortality from external
causes may contribute to the development of actions and measures that reduce and prevent
such deaths.
