To determine the relationship between focused prenatal care and maternal complications during pregnancy. This study employed a quantitative approach, retrospective type, non-experimental design, cross-sectional, with a relational scope. The sample consisted of 200 medical records of pregnant women who gave birth at the National Hospital Hipólito Unanue between January and June 2019. The documentary research technique was applied, using an instrument that collected data on the evaluation of focused prenatal care and maternal complications during pregnancy. A total of 117 pregnant women (58.5%) did not receive focused prenatal care, while 83 women (41.5%) did. Among those who did not receive focused prenatal care, 46 (39.3%) had a urinary tract infection during pregnancy, making it the most common maternal complication, followed by anemia in 28 women (23.9%). It was demonstrated that there is a significant relationship between focused prenatal care and maternal complications during pregnancy (x²=45.495; p=0.000), indicating that focused prenatal care is an effective intervention in reducing maternal-perinatal morbidity and mortality among pregnant women treated at the National Hospital Hipólito Unanue.
