PURPOSE: to describe the socio-demographic characteristics of deaths caused by uterine cervix cancer in women living in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, from 2000 to 2004. METHODS: a transversal populational study, including 323 deaths by uterine cervix cancer, among which 261 were recorded in the Information System about Mortality and 62 were identified after investigation on deaths by cancer at non-specified sites of the uterus. Mortality rate for all the variables was obtained and statistics for central tendency and variance were calculated. The χ2 test was performed to obtain the mortality coefficient concerning the living place and age range of the patients. RESULTS: death among women under 60 (54.7%), black (60.5%), single (67.6%), housewives (71.2%) and the ones living in poor neighborhood (53.3%) preponderated. Most of deaths occurred in hospitals (85.1%) and 90.2% of them occurred inside national health system hospitals. The mortality coefficient varied from 0.3 (among women under 30) to 54.9/100.00 (among women over 80). Significant statistical differences (p<0.05) were evidenced when death linked to age range and sanitary district was compared to characteristics of the female population living in the city. CONCLUSIONS: in Recife, death by cervix cancer are more frequent among adult, black, single, housewives, women living in poor neighborhoods and attended to at national health system hospitals, with differences in death risk among age ranges and living place.

PURPOSE: to compare intra- and postoperative results of vaginal hysterectomy with those of abdominal hysterectomy in women without genital prolapse or adnexal pathology. METHODS: a randomized, open clinical trial was conducted, involving 35 patients without genital prolapse scheduled for total hysterectomy due to benign disease, at IMIP, Recife, Brazil. These patients were randomly assigned to vaginal hysterectomy (19 patients) or abdominal hysterectomy (16 patients). Main outcome measures included estimated blood loss, rate of blood transfusion, duration of surgery, postoperative pain (intensity and analgesic requirement), time in hospital, postoperative complications, recovery time and patient satisfaction. Statistical analysis was performed using chi2, exact Fisher and Mann-Whitney tests at a 5% level of significance. RESULTS: estimated blood losses were significantly lower in vaginal hysterectomy (median of 520 mL) than in abdominal hysterectomy (median 902 mL). There was no blood transfusion among patients of the vaginal hysterectomy group, in contrast to 19% of the abdominal hysterectomy group. Duration of surgery was similar (median of 120 min in both groups). Postoperative pain, as measured by visual analog scale and analgesic requirement, was lower for vaginal hysterectomy than for abdominal hysterectomy. There was no statistically significant difference regarding frequency of postoperative complications. There was one case of infection in each group and one case of thrombosis in the vaginal hysterectomy group. Postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the vaginal group. Recovery time was significantly shorter in the vaginal group (median of 35 days) versus the abdominal group (median 40 days). Overall patient satisfaction with the operation was similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: patients without genital prolapse submitted to vaginal hysterectomy for treatment of benign diseases had some advantages in relation to those submitted to abdominal hysterectomy: lower intraoperative blood loss, lower postoperative pain and faster recovery time. Vaginal hysterectomy may replace abdominal hysterectomy in most patients who require hysterectomy.

PURPOSE: to determine the prevalence of domestic physical violence among women who delivered at a tertiary center in the Northeast of Brazil, to study the main risk factors associated with domestic violence, and to determine perinatal outcome. METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted, enrolling 420 women who delivered at a tertiary center in Recife (Brazil) with fetuses weighing more than 500 g. They were submitted to interviews with open and closed questions. The prevalence of domestic physical violence was determined. Statistical analysis was performed using c² and Fisher's exact tests at a 5% level of significance. The prevalence ratio was determined as measurement of relative risk of violence. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed and the adjusted risk was calculated. RESULTS: the prevalence of domestic physical violence was 13.1% (95% CI = 10.1-16.6) and 7.4% (95% CI = 5.2-10.2) before and during pregnancy, respectively. The pattern of violence has changed during pregnancy: stopped in 43.6%, was reduced in 27.3% and increased in 11% of the victims. After multivariate analysis the variables that persisted strongly associated with violence were low female educational level, history of violence in the women´s family, partner's use of alcohol and unemployment. Perinatal outcome was studied and a significantly higher frequency of neonatal death was observed among victims of domestic violence. CONCLUSIONS: a high prevalence of domestic physical violence was observed (about 13%) in women who delivered at a tertiary center in Northeast of Brazil. The main risk factors were low educational level and previous familiar history of violence in the women's family, alcohol use by and unemployment of their partners. Neonatal mortality was increased in victims of violence.
