Abstract
to describe characteristics of pregnant women at risk and analyze the relationship with type of delivery and complications during pregnancy and puerperium. a retrospective study with secondary data of 1,574 at-risk pregnant women followed up in an educational intervention by telemedicine. pregnant women with an average age of 35 years and high educational level participated. Preference for normal delivery was 43.1%, but only 17.3% had normal delivery. During pregnancy, 43.5% sought emergency care. In the postpartum period, 2.0% needed an ICU. Emergency room search was associated with age and contacts with the intervention. Cesarean delivery was associated with age, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity. ICU admission was associated with age and BMI. pregnant women were of high age and education, the younger and who had more contacts with the intervention sought more the emergency room. Older age, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity were factors associated with cesarean delivery.
Highlights
The results showed adequacy of prenatal care in 74% of visits, with high coverage and early onset, but with flaws in relation to information about gestational diseases and test results[5]
Participants had a good level of education; 22.4% have had an abortion; 43.5% went to the emergency room (ER) during pregnancy; 42.1% had some complications during pregnancy; 2.0% of puerperal women needed Intensive Care Units (ICUs) admission in the postpartum period (Table 1)
Women may feel inadequate in relation to age and pregnancy, attitudes that can trigger other factors in addition to those already commonly associated with the risk label, such as insecurity and anxiety, impairing the normal evolution of this period[13]
