(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-03-25) Torres Espinoza, Sharo Dalicxa; Ayala Peralta, Félix Dasio
Materials and Methods: The study was analytical, observational, retrospective, with a cohort design, involving a sample of 200 perinatal medical records from the Hipólito Unanue Hospital. Results: The most frequent age range was between 20 and 34 years, representing 75%. Regarding marital status, 74% were cohabiting, 69% had studied up to secondary school, and 77% were housewives. Regarding the number of prenatal visits, it was found that 15% of pregnant women had 5 prenatal visits, 10.5% had 4 visits, and 8% had no prenatal care. Regarding maternal complications, it was determined that pregnant women with insufficient prenatal care had higher levels of significance for urinary tract infections (p=0.045), anemia (p=0.000), and preeclampsia (p=0.024). However, no significant association was found for perinatal complications (p>0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant association between maternal complications and insufficient prenatal care, such as urinary tract infections, anemia, and preeclampsia. However, according to this study, no significant association was found with perinatal complications.
