This is a retrospective time-series study (2008-2017). Suicide data recorded in the states of the Northern region were extracted from the Brazilian Public Security Yearbook. The source of population data, used for mortality calculations (×100,000), was the IBGE. To extract the trend of the series, simple temporal regressions were used. The SPSS 20.0 software was used. During the period examined 4,438 suicides were registered in the Northern region, of which 172 (3.88%) were in Amapá. There was no significant difference between the means of suicide mortality in Amapá (x=2.65±1.12) and that in the Northern region (x=2.66±0.72). However, it is necessary to consider the influence of underreporting in the time-series analysis of Amapá. The temporal regressions showed a significant upward trend in the suicide mortality rate in the Northern region (R2=0.566; p=0.012), in the state of Pará (R2=0.606; p |
