PURPOSE: to evaluate the evolution of adequacy of the care process among pregnant users of the Brazilian Single Health System (SUS, acronym in Portuguese) and to consolidate a methodology for monitoring the prenatal care. METHODS: this is a multiple time series study with auditing of prenatal cards of pregnant women who were attended for prenatal care in a city of the Brazilian Southeast (Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais) in the initial semesters of 2002 and 2004 (370 and 1,200 cards, respectively) and gave birth using SUS services in term pregnancies (p < 0.05). A three complementary level sequence was respected: utilization of prenatal care (beginning and number of visits) at level 1; utilization of prenatal care and obligatory clinical-obstetric procedures during prenatal visits (assessment of blood pressure (BP), weight, uterine fundal height (FH), gestational age (GA), fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal presentation) at level 2; and utilization of prenatal care, obligatory clinical-obstetric procedures and basic laboratory tests, according to the Humanization Program of Prenatal Care and Birth (PHPN, acronym in Portuguese) (ABO/Rh, hemoglobin/hematocrit (Hb/Htc), VDRL, glycemia and urinalisys) at level 3. RESULTS: it was confirmed the high prenatal care coverage (99%), the increased mean number of visits per pregnant woman (6.4 versus 7.2%) and the decreased gestational age at the time of the first visit (17.4 versus 15.7 weeks). The proper registration of procedures and exams (exceptions: fetal presentation and blood typing) has significantly increased: BP (77.8 versus 83.9%); weight (75.4 versus 83.5%); FH (72.7 versus 81.3%); GA (58.1 versus 71.5%); FHR (79.5 versus 86.7%); Hb/Htc (14.9 versus 29%), VDRL (11.1 versus 20.7%), glycemia (16.5 versus 29%) and urinalisys (13.8 versus 29.8%). As a result, there was significant (p < 0.001) improvement of the adequacy between 2002 and 2004: 27.6 versus 44.8% (level 1); 7.8 versus 15.4% (level 2); 1.1 versus 4.5% (level 3). This trend was also noted in care provided by the majority of the municipal services/teams. CONCLUSIONS: the persistence of low adequacy, despite good coverage and PHPN implementation, confirmed the need to increase health managers, professionals and users' compliance with the rules and routines of care, including the institutionalization of a monitoring program of prenatal care.

Camptomelic dysplasia belongs to a heterogeneous and rare group of lethal skeletal dysplasias, characterized by abnormal development of bones and cartilages. It is caused by a mutation in gene Sox9 (SRY-like HMG [high-mobility group] BOX 9) of chromosome 17 and it is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Its main characteristics are the shortening and bowing of the long bones, principally the lower limbs. It is also associated with other severe skeletal and extraskeletal malformations. Karyotype study may reveal sex reversal. The majority of carriers die during the fetal and early neonatal periods. Ultrasound is essential to elucidate a prenatal diagnosis.

PURPOSE: to evaluate the adequacy of the prenatal care process offered to users of the Unified Health Care System (SUS) in Juiz de Fora-MG and to compare the municipal services. METHODS: a transversal study with auditing was carried out on the records of 370 pregnant women, selected by systematic sampling among women who carried their pregnancies to term and gave birth using SUS services in the first semester of 2002, with prenatal care given in Juiz de Fora. For statistical analysis the c² test was used to compare the municipal services (level of significance: 5%). The evaluation followed a three-tiered complementary sequence, using: the utilization of prenatal care (Kessner index: beginning and frequency of care) at level 1; the utilization of prenatal care and basic laboratory tests, according to the Humanization Program of Prenatal Care and Birth (ABO-Rh, hemoglobin/hematocrit, VDRL, glycemia and urinalysis), at level 2; and the utilization of prenatal care, the basic laboratory tests and the obligatory clinical-obstetric procedures during a prenatal visit (assessment of blood pressure, weight, edema, uterine fundal height, gestational age, fetal heart rate and fetal presentation), at level 3. RESULTS: the observed adequacy of the process was only 26.7% (level 1), 1.9% (level 2) and 1.1% (level 3). We also observed a prenatal coverage of 99.04%, an average of 6.4 visits per pregnant woman, and an average gestational age of 17.4 weeks at the time of the first prenatal visit. There were no significant differences between the municipal services. CONCLUSIONS: prenatal care offered to SUS users in Juiz de Fora should be reviewed from a qualitative standpoint, and periodic evaluations as necessary instruments of improvement are recommendable. Managers and professionals should undertake actions aimed at increasing compliance with norms/routines of the program - principally the request/recording of basic complementary tests - and which guarantee increased utilization of prenatal care.
