Abstract

Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of reported cases of accidental tetanus in the Northeastern region of Brazil between the years 2007 and 2022. Methods: This is an ecological study,  and as such data collection was conducted in May 2023 using the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) online platform. Results: The sample (1422 cases) majoritarily consisted of males (89.52%), with a majority of mixed-race individuals (73.41%), and the largest amount of cases (53.09%) resulted in recovery. The average fatality rate among the observed years was of 32.22 per 100 confirmed cases, with peak fatality rates occurring in 2021 and 2018 with (n=19.23) and (n=48.33) respectively. Conclusions: The study cooperates with the advancement of epidemiological knowledge regarding confirmed cases of accidental tetanus in the Northeastern Region. Thus, it is possible to successively observe the evolution of the incidence of the disease in the region in question. In addition, it is essential to invest in preventive actions in order to alleviate the problems that emerge as a result from the disease. Additionally, the research suffers from a lack of possible cases due to underreporting, outdatedness of information and lack of registration of data due to the inadequacies of the platform used to carry out the data collection.
