PURPOSE: To compare the filling out of the prenatal care card of pregnant women at a school-service and other services, as well as to verify the concordance between these records and verbal information provided by the puerperae. METHODS: A two-stage epidemiological, cross-sectional study was performed with stratified sampling, proportional to number of births. In the first stage, the information recorded on the prenatal care card in the school-service was compared to that recorded in units not linked to higher health education in Recife (PE). In the second stage, the information about prenatal care was collected with a semi-structured questionnaire applied to women during the puerperal period. A total of 262 puerperae older than 19 years, who had a prenatal care card at the time of delivery were included in the study from May to July 2008. Data were analyzed statistically by the χ² test, Student´s t-test or Mann-Whitney test, all one-sided to the right, with the level of significance set at 5%. RESULTS: The information more often recorded on the prenatal care card in the school-service was: schooling (86.5 versus 70.3%; p=0.002), marital status, (83.7 versus 70.9%; p=0.01), weight prior to pregnancy (72.1 versus 46.8%; p<0.001), height (62.5 versus 45.6%; p=0.007), and educational practices (76.9 versus 11.4%; p<0.001) and, at other services, only birth weight <2,500 g (15.4 versus 27.2% at the school-service; p=0.02). There were significant discrepancies between data obtained by verbal information and the prenatal care records of the pregnant women. At the school-service, 40.3% of pregnant women received adequate prenatal care versus 20.3% at other units. CONCLUSIONS: In all services, there was a predominance of recorded information directly related to delivery, while information about actions with preventive characteristics during prenatal care was neglected.

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).

PURPOSE: to compare the effectiveness and safety of sublingual misoprostol (25 µg) versus vaginal misoprostol (25 µg) (Prostokos®) for labor induction with gestational age > 37 weeks and unripe cervices. METHODS: a randomized controlled clinical trial was performed at the Maternidade Monteiro de Morais (CISAM-UPE), in Recife - PE, Brazil, from October 2003 to February 2004. One hundred and twenty-three women with gestational age > 37 weeks, Bishop score <8, not in labor and with medical indication for interruption of pregnancy were included in this study. The women received randomly 25 µg sublingual misoprostol or 25 µg vaginal misoprostol every 6 h, not exceeding eight doses. In order to evaluate the differences between the groups, means, standard deviations, Student's t-test, c² trend and Mann-Whitney test were used. The statistical significance was considered to be 5%. RESULTS: there were no significant differences between the number of women with vaginal delivery in the sublingual group as compared with the vaginal group (65.5 vs 75.8%, p<0.22), or in the interval of time between the induction onset and delivery (24 h and 42 min vs 20 h and 37 min respectively, p=0.11). The two groups, sublingual and vaginal, also did not differ as to the hyperstimulation syndrome (1.7 vs 3.2%, p=0.95), meconium incidence (5.2 vs 4.8%, p=0.74), Apgar score <7 at 5 min (3.4 vs 4.8%, p=0.98) and other adverse effects. CONCLUSION: twenty-five micrograms of sublingual misoprostol every six h presented the same effectiveness and safety as an equal vaginally administered dose of this substance. Sublingual misoprostol seems to be acceptable and is another option to be considered for labor induction.

PURPOSE: to analyze the association between modes of consecutive deliveries of 714 adolescents attended at the Maternity sector of the Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (Federal University of Pernambuco), from January to December 2001. PATIENTS AND METHODS: according to a prospective, analytic, transversal, and incidence type study, the sequence of delivery modes was analyzed from the first to the fourth parturition of 714 pregnant adolescents, aged from 13 to 19 years (mean17.2±1.5 years). Every day, after identifying the adolescents who delivered, by the parturition room register, they were invited to participate in this study. Those who agreed, after signing a free informed consent answered a structured questionnaire with 65 direct questions with precodified closed options, among which were delivery mode and number of gestations. RESULTS: it was found that 527 (73.8%) adolescents had only one delivery, 149 (20.9%) two deliveries, 35 (4.9%) three deliveries, and 3 (0.4%) had had four deliveries. Among the 273 cesarean sections, 207 (75.8%) occurred in primiparae, 65 (23.8%) in secundiparae and one (0.4%) in a multipara. There was a statistically significant association between the first and the second deliveries for 83 (55.7%) adolescents who had transvaginal delivery, as well as for 41 (27.5%) by cesarean section. There was also coincidence about the second and third deliveries, regarding transvaginal delivery of 23 (65.7%) adolescents, as well as cesarean section of 10 (28.6%) adolescents. CONCLUSION: a tendency to coincidence of subsequent delivery modes was identified for adolescents until the third parturition.
