Abstract

Objective: to describe the epidemiological profile of deaths from viral hepatitis in the southern region of Brazil from 2012 to 2022. Methods: ecological, descriptive, exploratory and retrospective study. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: there were 5,781 deaths from viral hepatitis. The highest number of deaths occurred in 2012 (667) and the lowest in 2021 (336), with a downward
trend from 2017 onwards. The majority of deaths occurred in men (62.6%), whites (82.4%), aged between 60 and 69 (30.4%). Rio Grande do Sul had the highest number of deaths. The majority of deaths were in hospital (89.2%), and chronic viral hepatitis was the most common (84.5%). Conclusion: The data indicate that health policies are not very effective and that more effective interventions are needed. The high prevalence of chronic hepatitis and sociodemographic disparities highlight the importance of strengthening prevention and education strategies.
