To evaluate whether continuation rates with the 52-mg levonorgestrelreleasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) up to 5 years after placement differed between women using the method exclusively for contraception and those using the device for medical reasons alone.
A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a family planning clinic with 5,034 LNG-IUS users: 4,287 using the method exclusively for contraception and 747 for medical reasons alone. The continuation rate at 1 to 5 years of use was calculated by life table analysis.
Initially, the continuation rate was significantly higher in the contraception group: 85.8 versus 83.4 and 77.4 versus 76.0 per 100 women-years in the 1st and 2nd years of use, respectively. There were more discontinuations due to bleeding/spotting in the medical reasons group in the first two years. The discontinuation rate according to reason for use was not significantly different from the third to the fifth year of use. No women discontinued due to amenorrhea in either group.
The continuation rate was significantly higher in the contraception group in the first two years of use. Amenorrhea was not a reason for discontinuation in either group, suggesting that counselling in this respect was adequate. Nevertheless, counselling could perhaps have been better with regards to the expected long period of bleeding and spotting in the first two years after placement.

, , , , , , To find out which was the opinion of residents in obstetrics and gynecology about the advantages and disadvantages of medical abortion as compared with surgical procedures.
Cross-sectional multicenter study among residents in obstetrics and gynecology from 21 maternity hospitals located in 4 different geographical regions of Brazil, using a self-responded questionnaire with 31 questions related to their opinion and experience on providing abortion services.
Most residents agreed that “being less invasive” (94.7%), “does not require anesthesia” (89.7%), “can be accompanied during the process” (89.1%), “prevents physical trauma” (84.4%) were the main advantages of medical abortion.
Residents perceived both clinical and personal issues as advantages of medical abortion.

PURPOSE: to evaluate and compare the knowledge and the opinion of gynecologists and obstetricians regarding termination of pregnancy, in 2003 and 2005. METHODS: a structured and pre-tested questionnaire was sent to all the members of the Brazilian Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (FEBRASGO). They were asked to answer the questions, anonymously, and return the questionnaire in a stamped envelope provided. They were asked about their knowledge of and opinion on Brazilian legislation related to abortion. RESULTS: in both surveys the percentage of doctors who knew under which circumstances abortion was not penalized was over 80%. However, there was a significant reduction in the percentage of doctors who knew that abortion was legal if the woman’s life was at risk. The participants who knew that abortion because of a severe congenital malformation of the fetus was not currently permitted by law increased by a third. The percentage of doctors in favor of allowing abortion increased consistently for the various circumstances presented. The proportion of those who thought that abortion should not be permitted in any circumstances decreased. The percentage of those who judged that the legal consents should not be modified decreased. There was an increase in the proportion of those who considered that abortion should not be considered a crime under any circumstance. CONCLUSIONS: in general, it seems that people have been thinking more about induced abortion during the time elapsed between the two surveys. Nevertheless, there is the need to correctly inform Brazilian gynecologists and obstetricians on the laws and norms that regulate the practice of legal abortion in the country, so as to ensure that women who need one have, in fact, access to this right.

With the purpose of identifying the causes of maternal deaths, this study evaluated all cases of deaths of 10 to 49-years-old women which occurred in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, during 1992 and 1993. The data were obtained from 1013 death certificates and were complemented by medical and anesthetia records forms, nursing reports, necropsies and also interviews with physicians who took care of the women, or with their relatives. The main basic causes of maternal deaths identified were arterial hypertension (23.8%), infections (19.0%), abortion (11.9%), hemorrhage (9.5%), pulmonary embolism (4.8%) and anaesthetic accident (2.4%). About 70% of maternal deaths in Recife in the studied period were due to directo obstetrical causes.

With the purpose of identifying the social, demographic, pregnancy-related and medical care factors associated with maternal death, this study evaluated all deaths of women aged 10 to 49 years occurring in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, during 1992 and 1993. The data were obtained reviewing 1,013 death certificates, with 42 cases of identified maternal deaths. The data of these deaths were complemented with information from medical records, autopsies and also interviews with physicians from the hospitals where the death took place, and with the dead women's relatives. Almost two thirds (62%) of maternal deaths occurred among women aged 20 to 29 years and more than half of them were single. There was a higher number of deaths among caesarean deliveries than among vaginal ones. The majority of deaths occurred within the first three days of hospitalization and approximately 90% of hospital charges were sponsored by the National Health System (SUS).

Objectives: To determine sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the shake test (Clements) for evaluation of fetal lung maturation in preeclamptic patients. Methods: A prospective study for validation of a diagnostic method was conducted enrolling 163 preeclamptic patients (gestational age between 28-34 weeks) admitted at CAM-IMIP with indication for fetal maturity testing. Preeclampsia diagnosis and classification followed criteria of the National High Blood Pressure Working Group, 1990. Clements' test was performed in three tubes and positive, negative or intermediate results were considered for analysis (related to presence or absence of fetal lung maturity). Accuracy parameters were calculated considering actual incidence of hyaline membrane disease (positive maturity = absent disease) after birth. Hyaline membrane disease was defined by criteria of CLAP, 1978. Statistical analysis was performed using c² test (Epi-Info 6.04b) with a 5% significance level. Results: Intermediate results were considered alternately as positive or negative for analysis. When considered positive, sensitivity was 87.9% and specificity 74.5% with positive and negative predictive values of 8.9.4% and 71.4% respectively - efficiency was 84%. When intermediate results were evaluated as negative, sensitivity decreased to 62% and specificity raised to 89.4% and positive and negative predictive values were 93.5% and 51.2% respectively (efficiency = 70%). False-positive results were rare and usually related to neonatal hypoxia: only 5 (6.5%) of 77 neonates with previous positive Clements had hyaline membrane disease. Nevertheless, false negatives were frequent: almost 40% for negative/intermediate results. Conclusions: Despite its limitations, Clements' test remains a good method for investigation of fetal lung maturation in preeclamptic patients since false positive results are unusual. However sensitivity is low and results have be cautiously analyzed because of elevated rate of false negative results. A good policy is to complement fetal maturity investigation with other tests if a negative result is determined, specially in severe cases when confirmed maturity represents indication for interruption of pregnancy.

Most authors agree on the negative impact of pregnancy in women with advanced maternal age on maternal and perinatal outcome. However, it is not usual to evaluate if some considered risk factors are only confounders because they are present in women over forty years. In order to identify the isolated effect of age on maternal and perinatal outcome of pregnancies in women over forty, 494 pregnancies from this age group were compared to 988 pregnancies among women aged 20 to 29 years, matched by parity. After controlling possible confounding variables through multivariate analysis, advanced maternal age maintained its association with a higher prevalence of hypertension, malpresentation, cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, low Apgar score, perinatal death, late fetal death and intrapartum fetal distress. These findings show the need for adequate obstetrical care with special attention to those factors in order to improve maternal and perinatal outcome of pregnancies in women with advanced age.
