Why the study?
Latin American countries are at different stages of the cardiovascular disease epidemic, and garbage code corrections may produce varying changes in mortality rates across specific countries.
Coronary heart disease mortality trends vary significantly across Latin American countries, highlighting the need for region-specific population-wide prevention policies.
Latin American countries are at different stages of the cardiovascular disease epidemic. Garbage code correction produce large changes in the mortality rates in Argentina, yet smaller in Mexico and Colombia, suggesting garbage code corrections may be needed for specific countries. While coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality is falling in Argentina, modest falls in Colombia and substantial increases in Mexico highlight the need for the region to propose and implement population-wide prevention policies.
