RIOS, Erika; GOMEZ, Rubén y LOPERA, Mónica. Mortalidad materna y perinatal en municipios y corregimientos de la frontera terrestre. Colombia 1998 - 2016. [online]. , 00004. Epub 24-Feb-2022. ISSN 2304-5132. http://dx.doi.org/10.31403/rpgo.v68i2396.
Abstract:
Maternal and perinatal mortality is a priority public health issue that is particularly difficult to control in border areas.
Objectives:
To describe the behavior of maternal and perinatal mortality in the border territories of Colombia, between 1998 and 2016; and to establish its association with sociodemographic, geographic and health care factors.
Methods:
Retrospective observational study, based on official records. Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and perinatal mortality ratio (RMP) were calculated for the period 1998-2016, identifying inflection points through Joinpoint analysis. Likewise, bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed.
Results:
From 54 municipalities and 12 borders townships belonging to 12 Departments, 687 records maternal mortality records and 12,786 perinatal mortality records were obtained. The ratios observed were 88 x 100,000 BA for MMR and 16 x 1,000 NV for PMR. The trend of these types of mortality was downward. The highest values of perinatal mortality were significantly associated with maternal age 35-54 years, care by subsidized regime, low educational level, women without a partner, and multiple pregnancies.
Conclusion:
Maternal and perinatal mortality registered in border municipalities is above the national average.
