GARCIA-BUSTOS, Sandra; RUIZ-BARZOLA, Omar; MORAN, Miguel  y  TANDAZO, William. XSTATIS method for the study of the main causes of death in Ecuador 2020. Pap. poblac [online]. 2023, vol.29, n.116, pp.53-81.  Epub 29-Nov-2024. ISSN 2448-7147.  https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2023.116.13.

Since the beginning of 2020, countless scientific publications have been published about the Covid-19 disease. The objective of this work is to use the Partial Triadic Analysis (XSTATIS) methodology to study the main causes of death in Ecuador in 2020, the year in which Covid-19 was present, and how they varied in relation to previous years with a particular focus on the effect generated by age and gender factors. The By gender, that is, XSTATIS was applied for men and women. Then, it was possible to identify the interaction between the registered comorbidities that affected people of a certain age and gender in the different years studied, which allowed the development of an indicator through latent variables, which clearly shows the degree of risk of death, giving a high score for people at higher risk and lower scores for those at lower risk. Additionally, the results showed that 2020 was an atypical year as it presented an increase in deaths between the ages of 5 and 45, with Covid-19 as the primary cause. Therefore, the XSTATIS methodology is very useful not only to understand relationships between various bivariate tables but also to be able to generate risk indicators that could contribute to decision making.
