Les taux de mortalité maternelle et néonatale restent importants dans les pays en développement. L’ampleur de ces phénomènes est liée à une constellation de facteurs. Mais une part importante des issues défavorables de la grossesse et de la naissance est attribuable à des causes évitables et des comportements modifiables. Les interventions éducatives prénatales ont été élaborées dans le but d’adresser les facteurs affectant la demande de soins maternels et néonatals efficaces. Les stratégies éducatives ciblant les femmes enceintes incluent les conseils individuels, les sessions de groupes et la combinaison des deux stratégies. Ces stratégies visent à améliorer les connaissances sur les questions de santé maternelle et néonatale et à favoriser l’utilisation adéquate de soins qualifiés et les pratiques hygiéniques à domicile. L’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) a diffusé dans les pays en développement des guides de pratiques en soins maternels et néonatals incluant les conseils de préparation à la naissance, lors des visites prénatales de routine. Toutefois, peu de données sont disponibles quant à l’efficacité et l’implantation effective de l’éducation prénatale dans les dits pays. Cette thèse cherche à mieux comprendre l’impact des programmes d’éducation prénatale implantés dans deux contextes à risques maternels et néonatals élevés au Burkina Faso. Rédigée sous forme d’articles, la thèse propose trois objectifs spécifiques : 1) examiner l’efficacité théorique des programmes d’éducation prénatale pour réduire la mortalité maternelle et néonatale dans les pays en développement; 2) évaluer l’association entre différents facteurs organisationnels et l’exposition des femmes aux conseils de préparation à la naissance qui font habituellement partie intégrante des programmes d’éducation prénatale implantés dans les services prénatals de routine; et 3) déterminer l’impact de recevoir des conseils de préparation à la naissance sur la probabilité d’accouchement institutionnel. Pour répondre au premier objectif, une méta-analyse de données issues d’essais randomisés a été effectuée. Concernant les réponses aux deux autres objectifs, les données d’une étude de cohorte rétrospective ont été utilisées. Cette étude observationnelle, conçue spécialement pour la thèse, a été menée dans deux districts à risques maternels et néonatals élevés (Dori et Koupela) du Burkina Faso. Les résultats observés à travers les trois investigations sont utiles pour l’avancement des connaissances et la pratique. La méta-analyse révèle que les interventions éducatives expérimentales sont associées à une réduction de 24% de la mortalité néonatale. Cette réduction atteint 30% dans les milieux à très forte mortalité néonatale. En situation de routine, divers facteurs organisationnels peuvent limiter ou faciliter la transmission des conseils éducatifs aux femmes usagères de soins prénatals. Au, Burkina Faso, les données analysées indiquent des fortes disparités entre les deux districts à l’étude. Les femmes du district de Koupela étaient significativement plus exposées aux conseils que celles de Dori. Au delà de cette disparité régionale, deux autres facteurs organisationnels sont fortement associés à l’exposition des femmes aux conseils de préparation à la naissance lors des visites prénatales de routine. Il s’agit de la disponibilité de supports de communication imagés dans l’établissement et le volume réduit de consultations par jour (moins de 20 consultations en moyenne versus 20 ou plus) augurant de moindres charges de travail pour le personnel. Enfin, les conseils reçus par les femmes sur les signes de complications obstétricales et sur les coûts des soins sont significativement associés à une probabilité plus élevée d’accoucher en institution; et ce, seulement dans le district de Dori où le taux d’accouchements institutionnels était relativement faible. En conclusion, l’éducation prénatale est bénéfique pour la sante maternelle et néonatale. Cependant, l’implantation et les effets sont hétérogènes selon les milieux. D’autres études expérimentales et observationnelles sont requises pour renforcer les évidences et investiguer plus en profondeur les facteurs de réussite afin de mieux orienter l’intervention. Les expérimentations futures devraient mesurer des issues de grossesses relatives à la mère (l’assistance qualifiée, les soins postpartum et la mortalité maternelle). Des études de cohorte prospectives avec des grands échantillons représentatifs permettraient de documenter de façon plus valide les événements et les expositions aux interventions durant la grossesse, l’accouchement et le postpartum. / Maternal and neonatal mortality remain high in developing countries. The magnitude of these phenomena is related to a constellation of factors. But a significant proportion of adverse pregnancy and birth outcome, in poor area, are attributable to preventable and behaviourally modifiable causes. Prenatal educational interventions have been developed in order to address the factors affecting the demand for effective maternal and neonatal care. Educational strategies targeting pregnant women include individual counselling, group sessions, and the combination of both strategies. These strategies aim to improve knowledge on issues related to maternal and newborn health and to promote the appropriate use of skilled care and hygiene practices at home. The World Health Organization (WHO) released practice guidelines in developing countries related to maternal and neonatal care including birth preparedness, during routine prenatal visits. However, few data are available about the effectiveness and implementation of effective prenatal education in these countries. This thesis aims to understand the impact of prenatal education programs in two contexts in Burkina Faso where maternal and neonatal risk are high. Written in the form of articles, the thesis addresses three specific objectives namely to: 1) examine the efficacy of prenatal education programs to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality in developing countries, 2) assess the association between different organizational factors and women’s exposure to birth preparedness messages during routine antenatal care, and 3) determine the impact of receiving birth preparedness advice on the likelihood of institutional delivery. For the first objective, a meta-analysis of data from randomized trials was conducted. To achieve the two other objectives, data from a retrospective cohort study were used. This observational study, designed specifically for the thesis, was conducted in two districts (Dori and Koupela) in Burkina Faso. The meta-analysis showed that educational interventions are associated with a 24% reduction in neonatal mortality. This reduction reached 30% in areas with very high neonatal mortality. In routine situations, organizational factors may limit or facilitate the transmission of educational advice to women using prenatal care. In Burkina Faso, the data indicate significant disparities between the two districts in the study. Women from Koupela district were significantly more exposed to advice than those from Dori. Beyond this regional disparity, two other organizational factors were strongly associated with exposure of women to birth preparedness counselling during routine prenatal visits. The first factor was the availability of print materials and aids (e.g., posters, pictures…), used by health professionals as communication support to provide prenatal clients with advice. The second factor was a lower volume of daily consultations (i.e., less than 20 consultations versus 20 or more) which meant lower workload for staff. Finally, advice received by women concerning signs of obstetric complications and costs of care were associated with a significantly higher likelihood of institutional deliveries but only in the district of Dori where the initial rate of institutional deliveries was relatively low. In conclusion, prenatal education is beneficial for maternal and newborn health. However, implementation and effect heterogeneities exist across contexts. Others experimental and observational studies are required to strengthen the evidence and more thoroughly investigate success factors in order to support policies. Future experiments should focus on maternal outcomes (i.e., skilled birth attendance, postpartum care, and maternal mortality). Prospective cohort studies with large and representative samples would allow for examination of events and exposures to interventions during pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum.

Introdução:A mortalidade materna é um dos melhores indicadores do desenvolvimento socioeconômico de um país. O Brasil implementou políticas públicas para redução da mortalidade materna até 2015. A região do Grande ABC Paulista no Brasil apresenta grande heterogeneidade socioeconômica entre seus municípios, podendo refletir a desigualdade social do país, porém apresentando dimensões que permitem maior controle de dados da mortalidade. Objetivo: Avaliar a tendência da mortalidade materna na região do Grande ABC Paulista no período de 1997 a 2011. Metodologia: Estudo ecológico de série temporal, cujos dados foram obtidas no banco de dados do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde do Brasil (DATASUS) do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil (MS). Os dados foram transformados em Índices da Mortalidade Materna Direta (IMMD), estratificados por municípios, índices de desenvolvimento humano (IDH), causas de óbito materno segundo Classificação internacional de doenças (CID-10), local e período de ocorrência do óbito, dados sóciodemográficos e submetidos a comparações (teste U de Mann-whitney, teste de Kruskal-Wallis e teste de Dunn) e associações pela regressão linear, com significância de 5%. Resultados: Os IMMD predominaram em mulheres solteiras, entre 20-34 anos de idade, brancas, escolaridade entre 4-7 anos, intra-hospitalar, no puerpério imediato, por hemorragias/tromboses/embolias e eclâmpsias. Não houve diferença nos IMMD em relação ao grupo IDH. Rio Grande da Serra atingiu IMMD alto (OMS) na maioria das covariáveis analisadas. Apenas São Caetano do Sul apresentou IMMD baixo (OMS), alto IMMI (p=0,03), queda nos IMMD no período de 1997 a 2011 (beta= -0,67/ano, p=0,03) e tendência neste milênio (2000 a 2011, beta=-0,55/ano, p=0,07) com estimativa de queda de 65,1% até 2015. A soma dos óbitos não investigados, não se aplica e de fichas sem investigação para qualquer variável analisada ultrapassa 50%. Conclusão: Os índices da Mortalidade Materna Direta na região do Grande ABC Paulista apresentaram níveis altos e queda discreta no tempo. Apenas o município de São Caetano do Sul apresentou queda expressiva de IMMD nos 15 anos de estudo e tendência a queda neste milênio com estimativa de atingir 65,1% até 2015.

Brazil has implemented public policies to reduce maternal mortality by 2015. The Grande ABC Paulista region in Brazil shows great socioeconomic heterogeneity among its municipalities, which can reflect the country social inequality, however presenting dimensions that allow greater control of mortality data. Objective: To evaluate the trend of maternal mortality in the Grande ABC Paulista region in the period of 1997-2011. Methodology: Ecological time series, where data was obtained from the database of the Information Technology Department of the Public Health Care System (DATASUS) of the Health Ministry of Brazil (MS). The data was transformed into direct maternal mortality indices (DMMI), stratified by municipalities, Human Development Indices (HDI), causes of maternal death according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), period and local of maternal death, socio-demographic parameters. Data were submitted to comparison tests (Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Dunn\'s multiple comparisons test) and association tests (linear regression) when applied and a significance of 5%. Results: The DMMI predominated in single women, aged 20-34 years old, white, 4 to 7 school age, in-hospital, postpartum, by bleeding / thrombosis / embolism and eclampsia. There was no difference in DMMI when comparing by HDI group. The Municipality of Rio Grande da Serra reached high DMMI values in the most of the analyzed covariates. São Caetano do Sul presented the lowest DMMI values and was the only municipality which presented decrement in the DMMI during the 15 years of the studied period (beta = - 0.67/year, p=0.03) and a trend in this millennium (2000-2011, beta- 0.55/year, p=0.07) with an estimated fall of 65.61% by 2015. The sum of not investigated, not applied and files without investigation for any analyzed variable exceeded 50%. Conclusion: The DMMI in the Grande ABC Paulista showed high levels and downward trend in time. São Caetano do Sul was the sole municipality where the DMMR dropped in 15 years of study and presented a tendency to decrease in this millennium with an estimated fall of 65.1% by 2015

The purpose of this study was to analyse and describe the factors that influence the choice of site of delivery by pregnant women in Mukono district. By employing quantitative, non experimental research methods, 431 women were interviewed by using structured questionnaires. These women had either delivered at; home, TBA, private or public clinic and 72% had been delivered by skilled attendants. Choice of delivery site was influenced by the attitudes of health workers which were rather poor in public sites, proximity of site, attendance of antenatal clinic at a site, availability of supplies and drugs, plus level of care including emergency obstetric care. / Health Studies / M.

Os critérios para identificação de casos de MMEG têm sido discutidos por diversos autores que levam em consideração as condições clínicas, laboratoriais e/ou manejo dos casos. Os sistemas de informação em saúde disponíveis atualmente no Brasil, tais como o SIH-SUS (Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS), Sistema de informação sobre Nascidos vivos (SINASC) e Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) contam com grande número de dados que poderiam contribuir para estudos da morbidade materna. Este trabalho tem como objetivos analisar a situação da morbimortalidade materna e infantil a partir dos Sistemas de Informações em Saúde; adequar os critérios de MMEG; identificar e analisar os casos de MMEG na base de dados do SIH-SUS visando subsidiar o planejamento das ações de saúde materna. Entre as 8620 mulheres residentes em Juiz de Fora, MG, no período de 2006 e 2007, internadas com causas codificadas dentro do Capítulo XV da CID-10 ou que receberam procedimentos obstétricos, 326 apresentaram alguma condição clínica e/ou procedimento selecionado como MMEG e uma foi a óbito. A taxa de mortalidade materna foi 12,0 por 100.000 mulheres. A letalidade 3,1 por mil mulheres e a prevalência de MMEG, 39,0 por 1000 mulheres. A média de tempo de internação foi de 3,5 e 10,5 dias para as mulheres sem e com morbidade, respectivamente. O tempo de internação maior que quatro dias foi 13 vezes mais alto entre as mulheres que apresentaram MMEG. A razão de prevalência para permanência do recém-nascido após alta da mãe, ter filhos nascidos mortos e óbito da criança antes da alta da mãe foi mais elevada entre as mulheres com MMEG, respectivamente 2,52, 4,86 e 4,41. As variáveis tempo de internação, número de internações e filhos nascidos mortos mostraram-se como fatores preditores para a MMEG na análise de regressão logística (p < 0,001). Entre os procedimentos/condições selecionados os mais frequentes foram a transfusão de hemoderivados, “permanência a maior” e pré-eclampsia grave/eclampsia, com prevalências de morbidades específicas de 15,7/1000, 9,5/1000 e 8,2/1000, respectivamente. A razão de prevalência de MMEG encontrada e as prevalências específicas de transfusão de hemoderivados e pré-eclampsia grave/eclampsia são achados consistentes com a literatura existente e demonstram que o uso de associação de algumas tabelas do SIH-SUS tem grande potencial para identificação dos casos de MMEG. O critério utilizado para identificação dos casos é factível e pode contribuir para a vigilância da morbimortalidade materna e para ampliar o conhecimento sobre os aspectos que a envolve, contribuindo assim para a melhoria na qualidade da assistência à mulher no período gravídico-puerperal. / An extremely severe maternal morbidity (ESMM) case, or near miss, is one in which the woman almost died due to gestation/delivery-related problems, or any problem occurring up to 42 days after the end of gestation, but survived because of the care received or sheer chance. The criteria for identification of ESMM cases have been discussed by several authors, who take into account clinical and laboratory features and/or case management. Health information systems available in Brazil, such as the Hospital Information System (Sistema de Informações Hospitalares – SIH-SUS), Live-birth Information System (Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos – SINASC) and Mortality Information System (Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade – SIM) comprise a large number of data, which could contribute to studies on maternal morbidity. This study aimed to: assess maternal and childhood morbimortality from the SIH-SUS, adequate the ESMM criteria, and identify and analyze the ESMM cases within the SIH-SUS database, with a focus on the planning of maternal health interventions. Of the 8620 women living in Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil, admitted to hospital with a diagnosis belonging to chapter XV of the ICD-10, or who underwent an obstetric procedure, in the period 2006-2007, 326 had a clinical condition and/or procedure selected as ESMM, with 1 death. Maternal mortality rate was 12.0/100,000 women. Case-fatality rate was 3.1/1,000 women, and ESMM rate was 39.0/1,000 women. Mean hospital stay length ranged from 10.5 to 3.5 days, for women with and without ESMM, respectively. Hospital stay length over 4 days was 13 more likely for ESMM women. Prevalence ratios of newborn hospital stay after the mother`s discharge, stillbirth, and child`s death before the mother`s discharge were higher for ESMM women, being 2.52, 4.86, and 4.41, respectively. The variables hospital stay length, number of admissions, and number of stillbirths were predictors of ESMM on logistic regression analysis (p < 0.001). Of the selected procedures/conditions, the most frequent ones were blood derivatives transfusion, longer hospital stay, and severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, with specific morbidity prevalence rates of 15.7/1,000, 9.5/1,000 and 8.2/1,000, respectively. The ESMM prevalence ratio found and the specific prevalence rates of blood derivatives transfusion and severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia are consistent with literature data, and show that the association use of the SIH-SS tables has significant potential to identify ESMM cases. The criterion used for case identification is feasible and may contribute to maternal morbimortality surveillance, increasing our knowledge about its associated features and contributing to better prenatal/puerperal care.

La césarienne est une intervention obstétricale majeure qui peut sauver la vie de la mère et de l’enfant. En Afrique sub-saharienne, il persiste une grande inégalité d’accès à la césarienne et une grande variation des pratiques autour des indications d’intervention. D’un côté, des barrières financières, géographiques, culturelles privent des femmes d’une intervention qui peut sauver leur vie. De l’autre, la pratique grandissante de césariennes sans indication médicale, dans un contexte de mauvaise qualité de soins, entraine une sur-morbidité et mortalité iatrogènes et évitables. <p>L’objectif de notre thèse est de contribuer à une meilleure connaissance des déterminants d’une césarienne de qualité et de montrer comment en situation réelle (cas d’un district urbain au Burkina Faso) on peut agir sur ces déterminants pour améliorer la qualité des césariennes.<p>Dans le cadre d’un projet multidisciplinaire (santé publique, mobilisation politique et sociale, anthropologie) d’Amélioration de la QUalité et de l’Accès aux Soins Obstétricaux d’Urgence - le projet AQUASOU (2003-2006) - nous avons pu mettre en œuvre des activités visant à améliorer l’accès à une césarienne de qualité dans le district du Secteur 30) à Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Nous avons mené une étude Avant-Après et utilisé des méthodes d’évaluation mixtes quantitatives et qualitatives pour comprendre dans quelle mesure et comment ce type d’approche globale améliore la qualité de la césarienne. Nous avons utilisé le cadre d’analyse de Dujardin et Delvaux (1998) qui présente les différents déterminants de la césarienne pour organiser et structurer nos résultats. Cette expérience s’étant déroulée dans le cadre d’un projet pilote nous avons également évalué le degré de pérennité du projet AQUASOU quatre ans après sa clôture officielle et analysé sa diffusion au niveau région et national.<p>Le cadre d’analyse de la césarienne de qualité avec ses quatre piliers (Accès, Diagnostic, Procédure, Soins postopératoires) a permis d’aller au-delà de la simple évaluation de la qualité technique de l’acte césarienne. Il a structuré l’analyse des différentes barrières à l’accès à la césarienne comme par exemple l’acceptabilité des services par la population et le coût de la prise en charge. <p>L’analyse des discours des femmes césarisées a mis en lumière le sentiment de culpabilité des femmes d’avoir eu une césarienne - ne pas avoir été « une bonne mère » capable d’accoucher normalement. Les questionnements sur la récurrence de la césarienne pour les prochaines grossesses, les dépenses élevées à la charge du ménage, la fatigue physique et les complications médicales possibles après l’opération mettent la femme dans une situation de vulnérabilités plurielles au sein de son couple et de sa famille.<p>L’évaluation du système de partage des coûts pour les urgences obstétricales mis en place en 2005 dans le district du Secteur 30 a montré qu’il était possible de mobiliser les collectivités locales de la ville et des communes rurales pour la santé des femmes. La levée des barrières financières a pu bénéficier à la fois aux femmes du milieu urbain et rural mais l’écart d’utilisation des services entre le milieu de résidence n’a pas été comblé et cela confirme l’importance des barrières géographiques (distance, route impraticable pendant la saison des pluies, manque de moyen de transport) et socioculturelles.<p>L’étude sur le rôle des audits cliniques ou revues de cas dans l’amélioration de la qualité des soins a montré que les soignants avaient une bonne connaissance du but de l'audit et qu’ils classaient l'audit comme le premier facteur de changement dans leur pratique, comparé aux staffs matinaux, aux formations et aux guides cliniques. Cependant, l’institutionnalisation des audits se révèle difficile dans un contexte de manque de ressources qui affecte les conditions de travail et dans un environnement peu favorable à la remise en question de sa pratique professionnelle.<p>L’évaluation de la pérennité du projet pilote quatre ans après la fin du soutien financier et technique montre que les bénéfices pour la population sont toujours là en terme d’accessibilité à la césarienne :coûts directs pour les ménages de 5000 FCFA (US $ 9.8), qualité des soins maintenue avec une diminution de la mortalité périnatale précoce pour les accouchements par césarienne de 3,6% en 2004 à 1,8% en 2008.<p> \ / Doctorat en Sciences de la santé publique / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

The presented diploma thesis deals with the comparison of mortality structure by age and includes 194 member countries of the World Health Organization. The aim of the thesis is to confront mortality development in these countries with the help of individual mortality characteristics. At the beginning of this thesis are defined demographic terms and indicators, data sources and calculation methodology. The databases of the World Health Organization and the World Bank were used as the main source of data and all countries were divided into six world regions. The second chapter is devoted to selected types of mortality, namely neonatal and infant, under-five mortality, maternal mortality and adult mortality. After that, the work focuses on life expectancy of 0 and 60 years of age divided per sex. The last chapter is devoted to the optimum retirement age in selected countries. Conclusion connects of the all above well, and we can find there comprehensive information about difference of mortality practically all over the world.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram: avaliar as freqüências de partos vaginais e cesáreas em mulheres portadoras de cardiopatias, bem como a distribuição dos partos nos diferentes subgrupos de doenças cardíacas: arritmias (A), cardiopatias congênitas (CC) e cardiopatias adquiridas (CA); analisar os fatores clínicos e obstétricos que estiveram relacionados à determinação da via de parto no grupo total de cardiopatas e também nos subgrupos, e avaliar a associação entre o tipo de parto e complicações clínicas e obstétricas. Foram analisados retrospectivamente os dados referentes a 571 gestações de 556 mulheres internadas para parto na Clínica Obstétrica do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo entre 2001 e 2005. A composição dos grupos foi: A - 57 casos (10%), CC - 163 casos (28,6%) e CA - 351 casos (61,4%). A taxas de cesárea foram 57,2% (total), 45,6% (A), 64,2% (CC) e 55,7% (CA). A indicação da cesárea foi obstétrica em 77% dos casos. Analisando os 425 casos sem cesáreas anteriores, as taxas de cesárea foram: 47,1% (total), 37,8% (A), 57,8% (CC) e 43,3% (CA). A probabilidade de parto cesáreo esteve relacionada à presença de cesárea anterior, idade gestacional no parto inferior a 37 semanas, presença de intercorrências obstétricas, diagnóstico de cardiopatia congênita, insuficiência cardíaca classe funcional (CF) III ou IV, e uso de medicamentos de ação cardiovascular. A paridade maior ou igual a um diminuiu a probabilidade de cesárea. A presença de cesárea anterior foi o principal fator relacionado à probabilidade de parto cesáreo nesta população. Nos subgrupos de cardiopatia (sem cesárea anterior) a probabilidade de cesárea esteve aumentada na presença dos seguintes fatores: A - uso de medicação cardiovascular; CC - CF III/IV e intercorrências obstétricas; CA -intercorrências obstétricas e idade gestacional no parto inferior a 37 semanas. A ocorrência de complicações obstétricas foi 6,8% (total), sendo maior em A (18,6%) e nos partos vaginais (10,7%); complicações clínicas maiores ocorreram em 2,5% dos casos e foram mais freqüentes nos casos de cesárea (3,8%). Conclusão: As taxas de cesárea observadas em gestante com cardiopatia foram elevadas (em especial nos casos de cardiopatia congênita) e correlacionadas à presença de cesárea anterior, insuficiência cardíaca CF III/IV, uso de medicamentos de ação cardiovascular, presença de intercorrências obstétricas e idade gestacional no parto inferior a 37 semanas. / This study reviewed the data of 571 pregnancies in 556 pregnant women with heart disease admitted for delivery in a tertiary university hospital between 2001 and 2005. The objectives were to assess the prevalence of cesarean sections and vaginal births among the whole group of cases and in three subgroups: patients with arrhythmias (A - 57 cases / 10%), congenital diseases (CD - 163 cases / 28,6%) and acquired diseases (AD - 351 cases / 61,4%), and to determine the clinical and obstetrical factors related to the mode of delivery in the whole population and in the subgroups, as well as the association between the mode of delivery and clinical and obstetrical complications. The frequencies of cesarean sections were: 57,2% (whole population), 45,6% (A), 64,2% (CD) and 55,7% (AD); the cesarean sections were performed due to obstetrical reasons in 77% of the cases. In the 425 cases with no previous cesarean sections, the frequencies of c-sections deliveries were 47,1% (whole group), 37,8% (A), 57,8% (CD) and 43,3% (AD). The factors related to a higher probability of cesarean section were: previous cesarean section, gestational age at delivery of less than 37 weeks, presence of obstetrical events, diagnosis of congenital heart disease, heart failure (NYHA functional class III/IV) and use of cardiovascular drugs. The parity above 1 was related to a lesser probability of csections, and previous cesarean was the main factor related to the risk of abdominal delivery. In the cases with no previous cesarean sections, according to the subgroups of heart disease, the probability of cesarean section was heightened in the presence of the following factors: group A: use of cardiovascular drugs, CD: functional class III/IV and obstetrical events and AD: obstetrical events and gestational age in delivery less than 37 weeks. The rate of obstetrical complications was 6,8%, most of them in group A and in vaginal birth. Major clinical complications occurred in 2,5% of the cases, and were more related to cesarean sections (3,8%). Conclusion: the rates of cesarean sections observed in pregnant women with heart disease were high (mainly in the CD group), and related to previous cesarean sections, heart failure, use of cardiovascular drugs, presence of obstetrical events and gestational age at delivery less than 37 weeks.
