A retrospective cohort study was conducted with administrative data obtained from the per-capita payment unit (UPC) sufficiency database of the Integrated Social Protection Information System (SISPRO) of the Colombian Ministry of Health. This database contains event reports of the services provided by insurance companies (Health Promoter Enterprises [EPS]) of the Colombian health system, which covered 22.5 million Colombians in 2012 (48% of the population). The database is highly standardized and contains the codes of the services provided (CUPS), the date the service was provided, age, sex, insurance company, municipality, ICD-10 code, and cost of care. Information on mortality, date of death, and diagnoses associated with the cause of death was obtained from death certificates.
