The totality of the deceased of this cause in the aforementioned period of time has been studied.The mortality rates have been used as a step to summarize the information(crude and specific rates and the proportion of potentially lost years of life.

The most important results were:The tendency of mortality proved ascending and the hemorrhagic events were those of higher relative importance within mortality.Hospital fatality rate and community mortality rate remained standardized.

 The years of life that are lost are likely to increase as death shifts to other ages Necropsy only reaches half of the deceased in the year of better behavior,and the statement of prognoses proved useful when evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of the designed strategies,and the allocation of resourses for action.
