Objective: To verify the variation of the premature mortality rate caused the group of the main chronic noncommunicable diseases.

Method: This is a time-series ecological study, which used secondary data of the Mortality Information System, from 2006 to 2014, from the 26 federal units and from the Federal District. Deaths caused by circulatory system diseases, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases were included. The trend of adjusted mortality rate was analyzed by segmented linear regression.

Results: Premature mortality tended to be reduced in most states, except for Maranhão and Rio Grande do Norte, which presented a stable premature mortality rate. Bahia, Pernambuco, Sergipe, Roraima and all the states from the South, Southeast and Central-West Regions reached the goal of reducing 2% per year in premature mortality caused by main diseases.

Conclusion: Most of the states showed a reduced mortality rate and are reaching the proposed target.

The ten-year cardiovascular disease risk prediction among primary healthcare workers using the office-based globorisk tool: A cross-sectional study.

Med J Malaysia

January 2025

Occupational and Safety Unit, Selangor State Health Department, Ministry of Health, Selangor, Malaysia.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain to be the leading cause of premature mortality worldwide, and healthcare workers (HCWs) are potentially at risk for developing CVDs. Office-based Globorisk is a ten-year risk prediction tool for CVDs risk scores. This present study aims to determine the prevalence of CVDs risk and risk factors associated with moderate-high CVDs risk among primary HCWs in government health clinics in Selangor.

Background: Periviable infants are a highly vulnerable neonatal group, and their survival rates are considerably affected by patient-, caregiver-, and institution-level factors, exhibiting wide variability across different income countries and time periods. This study aims to systematically review the literature on the survival rates of periviable infants and compare rates among countries with varied income levels and across different time periods.

Methods: Comprehensive searches were conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and Web of Science.

Background: Impaired intrauterine growth, a significant global health problem, contributes to a higher burden of infant morbidity and mortality, mainly in resource-poor settings. Maternal anemia and undernutrition, two important causes of impaired intrauterine growth, are prioritized by global nutrition targets of 2030. We synthesized the evidence on the role of preconception nutrition supplements in reducing maternal anemia and improving intrauterine growth.

Background: Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) is a common finding during cardiac evaluation and has been linked to increased mortality. While some studies report a sex difference, most data stem from research cohorts.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of NSVT in a real-life outpatient clinic, focusing on sex differences in mortality.
