| Abstract | Introduction: Extremely Severe Maternal Morbidity (ESMM) is a serious complication that occurs during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, threatening the lives of women and requires immediate attention in order to avoid death. Objective: in the Center of Medical Specialities in the state of Veracruz (CMSSV) during 2012. Material and Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study in women treated for an obstetric event (pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum) , who went through maternal morbidity during their stay at the CMSSV during 2012; sociodemographic, gyneco-obstetric and morbidity characteristics were analyzed; methods used include frequency, variability and association measures. Results: 6,960 women were treated for obstetric events, 252 were enrolled with mild or moderate maternal morbidity (MMM) and 74 with extremely severe maternal morbidity (ESMM); prevalence was 1.06 of each 100 women served by obstetric care. Incomplete primary illiterate mother or incomplete elementary school, intergenesic period of less than 2 years and greater than 10 were found as risk factors. Conclusions: We propose as actions to reduce ESMM: identify patients with risk factors, ensuring existing obstetrical triage system in CEMEV, strengthen the system of re- ference and counter and establish a system of epidemiological surveillance maternal morbidity similar to what exists of maternal death. |
