dc.description.abstractAim: To describe deaths from diverticular bowel disease in the period 2016-2020 in Chile according to sex, age group and region. Material and Method: Descriptive study. 406 deaths due to diverticular disease were described according to sex, age group and region between the years 2016-2020, performing a statistical analysis with the IBM SPSS Statistics ® software that included a Binomial Test for analysis of deaths according to “sex” and the Kruskal Wallis Test for the study of significance between the variables “sex” and “age group”. A 99% confidence interval (p < 0.01) was used. Results: A mortality rate of 0.46/100,000 inhabitants was obtained for the period. The female sex was predominant in a ratio close to 3:1 (p < 0.01). Deaths increased with age and the age group with the higher number of deaths was 80-89. A relationship between sex and age group was demonstrated (p < 0.01). The regions with the highest observed mortality rate were Magallanes, Valparaíso and Maule. Discussion: The mortality rate is similar to that reported worldwide. Women die at a higher rate than men, as described in other studies. The higher mortality rate observed in some regions of the country could be associated with the high prevalence of risk factors for the disease. Conclusion: Deaths from diverticular disease decreased since 2018, in conjunction with showing that women present a significantly higher number of deaths than men and that there were differences by region. © 2022, Sociedad de Cirujanos de Chile.
