ALVAREZ TOSTE, Mireya; SALVADOR ALVAREZ, Sergio; GONZALEZ RODRIGUEZ, Guillermo  y  PEREZ, Disnardo Raúl. Characterization of critically severe mother morbidity. Rev Cubana Hig Epidemiol [online]. 2010, vol.48, n.3, pp.310-320. ISSN 0253-1751.

INTRODUCTION: At the present time there is an increasing interest in carrying out of critically severe mother morbidity analysis because it is an indicator closely associated with the mother death and a valid alternative to use as assessment measure of maternal cares. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the critically severe mother morbidity in Ciudad de La Habana from January to June, 2009. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in all pregnant diagnosed with critically severe mother morbidity in maternal hospitals and in the Gynecology and Obstetrics services of general and clinical and surgical hospitals, according to inclusion criteria. Information was obtained from the medical record of each pregnant over its prenatal and hospital care. RESULTS: Diagnosis was made in 46 pregnant with a mean age of 28 years. In 89.1% mother risks were identified where the more frequent ones were high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes mellitus and urinary sepsis. CONCLUSIONS: Critically severe mother morbidity was more frequent after labor. According the inclusion criteria the more prevalent causes were those related to the management of the patient (surgery, ICU, transfusion) and specific disease, septic and hypovolemic shock.
