7. One example for each ICD chapter

Deaths (SIM) and hospitalizations (SIH) by neighborhood for every ICD-10 chapter, in places across all regions.

This page has a ready-to-use example for every ICD-10 chapter, for deaths and for hospitalizations, each in a different place. Copy the one you need and change the municipality and the year.

NoteHow to write the cause
  • One letter takes the whole chapter: cid = "I".
  • A range takes part of a letter: cid = "D50-D89". The range must stay within the same letter.
  • Several at once: cid = c("A", "B").

Deaths by neighborhood (SIM)

Deaths by neighborhood are available for the State of Rio de Janeiro (all 92 municipalities) and for the city of São Paulo (by district). The examples therefore go through the health regions of Rio de Janeiro State and the city of São Paulo.

Chapter Cause Example Place
I Infectious and parasitic obitos_bairro("Rio de Janeiro", 2023, cid = c("A", "B")) Rio de Janeiro city
II Neoplasms (cancer) obitos_bairro("São Paulo", 2023, cid = "C") São Paulo city, by district
III Blood and immune obitos_bairro("Niterói", 2023, cid = "D50-D89") Metropolitana II (RJ)
IV Endocrine and metabolic (diabetes) obitos_bairro("Duque de Caxias", 2023, cid = "E") Metropolitana I (RJ)
V Mental disorders obitos_bairro("Campos dos Goytacazes", 2023, cid = "F") Norte (RJ)
VI Nervous system obitos_bairro("Petrópolis", 2023, cid = "G") Serrana (RJ)
VII Eye obitos_bairro("São Paulo", 2019:2023, cid = "H00-H59") São Paulo city
VIII Ear obitos_bairro("Rio de Janeiro", 2019:2023, cid = "H60-H95") Rio de Janeiro city
IX Circulatory obitos_bairro("Volta Redonda", 2023, cid = "I") Médio Paraíba (RJ)
X Respiratory obitos_bairro("Cabo Frio", 2023, cid = "J") Baixadas Litorâneas (RJ)
XI Digestive obitos_bairro("Angra dos Reis", 2023, cid = "K") Baía da Ilha Grande (RJ)
XII Skin obitos_bairro("Itaperuna", 2023, cid = "L") Noroeste (RJ)
XIII Musculoskeletal obitos_bairro("Três Rios", 2019:2023, cid = "M") Centro-Sul (RJ)
XIV Genitourinary (kidney) obitos_bairro("São Gonçalo", 2023, cid = "N") Metropolitana II (RJ)
XV Pregnancy and childbirth (maternal deaths) obitos_bairro("Nova Iguaçu", 2019:2023, cid = "O") Metropolitana I (RJ)
XVI Perinatal obitos_bairro("São Paulo", 2023, cid = "P") São Paulo city
XVII Congenital malformations obitos_bairro("Rio de Janeiro", 2023, cid = "Q") Rio de Janeiro city
XVIII Ill-defined causes obitos_bairro("Macaé", 2023, cid = "R") Norte (RJ)
XX External causes (accidents, homicides, suicides) obitos_bairro("Belford Roxo", 2023, cid = c("V", "W", "X", "Y")) Metropolitana I (RJ)
— COVID-19 obitos_bairro("Rio de Janeiro", 2021, cid = "B34") Rio de Janeiro city
TipWhy are some chapters missing?

In the SIM, the cause of death is the underlying cause. Injuries (chapter XIX, S and T) and contact with health services (chapter XXI, Z) are not used as underlying causes, so use external causes (V to Y) for injuries. COVID-19 deaths were coded B34.2 in the SIM, not in chapter U, which is why the example uses cid = "B34".

For chapters with few deaths (eye, ear, skin, musculoskeletal), combine years (2019:2023) for more stable numbers.

To split any example by sex, add por = "sexo":

obitos_bairro("Volta Redonda", 2023, cid = "I", por = "sexo")

Hospitalizations by neighborhood (SIH)

Hospitalizations reach the neighborhood through the patient’s ZIP code (CEP), in any municipality in Brazil. The examples therefore cover all five regions. Always give the state (uf).

Chapter Cause Example Region
I Infectious and parasitic internacoes_bairro("Manaus", 2023, cid = c("A", "B"), uf = "AM") North
II Neoplasms internacoes_bairro("Porto Alegre", 2023, cid = c("C", "D00-D48"), uf = "RS") South
III Blood and immune internacoes_bairro("Teresina", 2023, cid = "D50-D89", uf = "PI") Northeast
IV Endocrine and metabolic internacoes_bairro("Campo Grande", 2023, cid = "E", uf = "MS") Center-West
V Mental disorders internacoes_bairro("Belo Horizonte", 2023, cid = "F", uf = "MG") Southeast
VI Nervous system internacoes_bairro("Florianópolis", 2023, cid = "G", uf = "SC") South
VII Eye internacoes_bairro("Natal", 2023, cid = "H00-H59", uf = "RN") Northeast
VIII Ear internacoes_bairro("Vitória", 2023, cid = "H60-H95", uf = "ES") Southeast
IX Circulatory internacoes_bairro("Recife", 2023, cid = "I", uf = "PE") Northeast
X Respiratory internacoes_bairro("Curitiba", 2023, cid = "J", uf = "PR") South
XI Digestive internacoes_bairro("Belém", 2023, cid = "K", uf = "PA") North
XII Skin internacoes_bairro("Cuiabá", 2023, cid = "L", uf = "MT") Center-West
XIII Musculoskeletal internacoes_bairro("Juiz de Fora", 2023, cid = "M", uf = "MG") Southeast
XIV Genitourinary internacoes_bairro("Fortaleza", 2023, cid = "N", uf = "CE") Northeast
XV Pregnancy and childbirth internacoes_bairro("Macapá", 2023, cid = "O", uf = "AP") North
XVI Perinatal internacoes_bairro("Salvador", 2023, cid = "P", uf = "BA") Northeast
XVII Congenital malformations internacoes_bairro("Ribeirão Preto", 2023, cid = "Q", uf = "SP") Southeast
XVIII Ill-defined internacoes_bairro("Maceió", 2023, cid = "R", uf = "AL") Northeast
XIX Injuries and poisoning (fractures, burns) internacoes_bairro("João Pessoa", 2023, cid = c("S", "T"), uf = "PB") Northeast
XXI Contact with health services internacoes_bairro("Londrina", 2023, cid = "Z", uf = "PR") South
TipDifferences from the SIM
  • The SIH uses the hospitalization’s principal diagnosis, so injuries (chapter XIX, S and T) and contact with health services (chapter XXI, Z) appear.
  • External causes (V to Y) are recorded as secondary diagnoses and don’t appear here.
  • In chapter II, c("C", "D00-D48") combines malignant (C) with benign and in situ neoplasms (D00 to D48). The letter D alone would also include blood diseases.
WarningIt takes a while

Each call downloads the whole state’s hospitalizations from DATASUS, so the first query for each state can take 10 to 30 minutes. For several causes in the same state, ask for all of them at once and split them afterwards by the grupo column:

pe <- internacoes_bairro("Recife", 2023, cid = c("I", "J", "N"), uf = "PE")
aggregate(internacoes ~ grupo, data = pe, FUN = sum)   # total for each cause

Every hospitalization result has attr(x, "cobertura"), which shows how many got a neighborhood and why the others didn’t (see tutorial 4).
