Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the mortality rate of foreign citizens in Croatia. Materials and methods: Data were collected from the Department of Forensic Medicine, University of Split – School of Medicine and University Hospital Centre Split (which is the autopsy center of the Split-Dalmatia County with approximately 20% of total foreign visitors), as well as from the Croatian Central Bureau for Statistics for the period 2001-2015. The mortality rate (number of deaths of members of each nationality per 100 000 entrances ratio) and standardized mortality ratio (ratio between the observed and expected number of deaths) were calculated for period 2005-2015. Results: There were 284 deaths (210 men, 73.9%) of foreign citizens (mortality rate of 0.0012%). A total of 143 deaths (51.8%) were by natural causes, more often among older people, and 137 deaths (48.2%) were injury deaths, more often among younger people, mostly by drowning or traffic-related (26.7% and 8% of all deaths, respectively). Most represented were citizens of German, Czech, Austrian and Polish nationality, with 53 (18.6%), 52 (18.3%), 27 (9.5%), and 27 deaths (9.5%), respectively. Mortality rate by nationality showed no significant difference (P < 0.05). The standardized mortality ratio was lowest in Hungarian citizens (0.06) and highest in Austrian citizens (0.38). Conclusions: Croatia has low foreign citizens’ mortality rate and could be considered a safe tourist destination.
Abstract (croatian)
Ciljevi: Istražiti smrtnost stranih državljana u Republici Hrvatskoj. Materijali i metode: Podaci su prikupljeni na Kliničkom odjelu za sudsku medicinu, Sveučilište u Splitu – Medicinski fakultet i Klinički bolnički centar Split (koji je obdukcijski centar Splitsko-Dalmatinske županije u koju dolazi približno 20% svih stranih državljana koji posjete Hrvatsku), kao i s Državnog zavoda za statistiku za razdoblje 2001. - 2015. Stopa smrtnosti (omjer broja umrlih za svaku nacionalnost na 100 000 ulazaka) i standardizirana stopa smrtnosti (omjer smrtnih slučajeva i broja očekivanih smrtnih slučajeva po nacionalnosti) su izračunate za razdoblje 2005. - 2015. Rezultati: U navedenom razdoblju ukupno je bilo 284 smrtna slučaja (210 muškaraca, 73.9%) stranih državljana (stopa smrtnosti 0.0012%). Ukupno 143 smrti (51.8%) su bile prirodne i češće su se događale među starijim turistima, dok je 137 smrti (48.2%) bilo nasilno, češće među mladima, najčešće uslijed utapanja ili povezano s prometom (26.7% i 8% svih smrti). Najzastupljeniji su bili građani Njemačke, Češke, Austrije i Poljske sa 53 (18.6%), 52 (18.3%), 27 (9.5%), i 27 smrti (9.5%). Stopa smrtnosti među nacionalnostima nije pokazala statističku značajnost (P < 0.05). Standardizirana stopa smrtnosti je bila najniža kod mađarskih (0.06), a najviša kod austrijskih građana (0.38). Zaključci: Hrvatska ima nisku stopu smrtnosti stranih državljana i samim time može biti smatrana sigurnim turističkim odredištem.
