Abstract
En varios países centroamericanos se observa que el número de muertes por enfermedad renal crónica asociada a causas no tradicionales (ERCnt) entre trabajadores del campo continúa creciendo y existe un subregistro. Se presenta el resultado de un proceso de consenso coordinado por la Organización Panamericana de la Salud/Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS), el Centro para el Control de Enfermedades de los Estados Unidos (CDC) y la Sociedad Latinoamericana de Nefrología e Hipertensión Arterial (SLANH). Este consenso busca aumentar la probabilidad de detectar y registrar las muertes por estas causas. Se reconoció el impacto negativo que tiene la falta de un instrumento estandarizado y la baja capacitación que se tiene en la profesión médica para un registro adecuado de la o las causas de muerte. Como resultado del consenso, se propone el uso de un código de la Lista para Propósitos Especiales (de manera temporaria) dentro de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades (CIE-10), continuar con la promoción del uso del instrumento internacional estandarizado de la OMS para el registro de causas y eventos antecedentes relacionados con la muerte, aumentar el entrenamiento de los médicos responsables por el llenado del certificado de defunción, la realización de acciones para aumentar la completitud y calidad de la información de mortalidad, un algoritmo de decisión para facilitar la selección de la ERCnt como causa específica de muerte, presentando el papel que debieran tener los diferentes mecanismos regionales y subregionales en la región de las Américas para mejorar la situación del registro de mortalidad por ERC y ERCnt.
 
Several Central American countries are seeing continued growth in the number of deaths from chronic kidney disease of nontraditional causes (CKDnT) among farm workers and there is underreporting. This report presents the results of a consensus process coordinated by the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Latin American Society of Nephrology and Hypertension (SLANH). This consensus seeks to increase the probability of detecting and recording deaths from these causes. There has been recognition of the negative impact of the lack of a standardized instrument and the lack of training in the medical profession for adequate registration of the cause or causes of death. As a result of the consensus, the following has been proposed: temporarily use a code from the Codes for Special Purposes in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10); continue to promote use of the WHO international standardized instrument for recording causes and preceding events related to death; increase training of physicians responsible for filling out death certificates; take action to increase the coverage and quality of information on mortality; and create a decision tree to facilitate selection of CKDnT as a specific cause of death, while presenting the role that different regional and subregional mechanisms in the Region of the Americas should play in order to improve CKD and CKDnT mortality records.
