A retrospective, population\u2010based study was conducted using data on Chagas disease\u2010related deaths from 1999 to 2019, obtained from the Mortality Information System. Descriptive analyses were applied to characterise deaths by sex, age, education level, and geographic distribution. The temporal trend was assessed using joinpoint regression, with calculation of the annual percent change. For spatial analysis, the global Moran's\n                    <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic>\n                    index and space\u2013time scan statistics were applied to identify high\u2010risk clusters. The results showed higher mortality in males (56%\u201364%), a predominance of deaths in individuals over 50\u2009years old, and a concentration of the chronic cardiac form of Chagas disease in approximately 80% of the records. Low educational attainment was associated with higher mortality, indicating social vulnerability. The spatial distribution revealed that 95.0% of municipalities reported Chagas disease\u2010related deaths, with risk clusters primarily located in the Zona da Mata region, particularly in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Regional Health Superintendencies. These areas have a history of high vector infestation and socio\u2010environmental conditions conducive to transmission. Although the overall temporal trend remained stable or showed a slight decline, the persistence of endemic areas and clusters underscores the need for targeted actions. Thus, it is concluded that Alagoas remains an endemic area for Chagas disease, with mortality influenced by social and environmental factors. This study highlights the importance of strengthening surveillance, diagnosis, and control in priority regions and suggests that future research incorporate predictive models integrating social determinants to improve disease management.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/tmi.70046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,7]],"date-time":"2025-10-07T01:10:21Z","timestamp":1759799421000},"page":"22-31","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Spatial, Spatiotemporal Patterns, and Sociodemographic Aspects of Mortality From Chagas Disease in the State of Alagoas, Northeast Brazil: A 21\u2010Year Population\u2010Based Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3963-4719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valdir Vieira","family":"da Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Engineering and Agricultural Sciences Federal University of Alagoas  Vi\u00e7osa Alagoas Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine Federal Rural University of Pernambuco  Recife Pernambuco Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6593-1496","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beatriz Maria de Almeida","family":"Braz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Engineering and Agricultural Sciences Federal University of Alagoas  Vi\u00e7osa Alagoas Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6375-633X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Let\u00edcia Pereira","family":"Bezerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute\/FIOCRUZ  Recife Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6376-8223","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denny Parente de S\u00e1 Barreto Maia","family":"Leite","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine Federal Rural University of Pernambuco  Recife Pernambuco Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2844-5509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rinaldo Aparecido","family":"Mota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine Federal Rural University of Pernambuco  Recife Pernambuco Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2282-4268","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonatas Campos","family":"de Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Engineering and Agricultural Sciences Federal University of Alagoas  Vi\u00e7osa Alagoas Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Federal University of Goi\u00e1s  Goi\u00e2nia Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5216\/rpt.v46i1.46303"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (WHO) \u201cChagas Disease (Also Known as American Trypanosomiasis) \u201d2022 https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\u2010room\/fact\u2010sheets\/detail\/chagas\u2010disease\u2010(american\u2010trypanosomiasis)."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","first-page":"7","article-title":"II Consenso Brasileiro em Doen\u00e7a de Chagas, 2015","volume":"25","author":"Dias J.
