Abstract
Objective: To assess adverse perinatal outcomes related to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, carried out at the Darcy Vargas Maternity Hospital in Joinville-SC, from August to December 2020. An interview was carried out with a sample composed of puerperal women. Patients were divided into 2 groups, patients who consumed and who did not consume alcohol during pregnancy. Adverse perinatal outcomes were analyzed by calculating the odds ratio, using the 95% confidence interval, with significant results with p<0.05, adjusting for confounding factors: age, previous cesarean section, hypertension, previous diabetes, smoking and other drugs. Results: The group with alcohol consumption consisted of 38 postpartum women (2.2%) and 1632 (97.8%) did not consume alcohol. After calculating the adjusted odds ratio, it was found that alcoholism increased the chance of LBW (OR=5.545 95%CI 1.129-27.246) and neonatal ICU (OR=3.870 95%CI 1.184-12.647), without interfering in the other outcomes. Conclusion: Alcoholism increased the chance of LBW by 5.5 times and of NICU by 3.8 times.
