Abstract:

This study aimed to describe the prevalence of prenatal care indicators recommended by the "Rede Cegonha" program according to gestational risk level and individual characteristics of pregnant women. A cross-sectional study based on a sample survey of pregnant women attended in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) in Santa Catarina, conducted in 2019. Prevalences and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the indicators were calculated, and differences between groups were determined using Pearson’s chi-square test. A total of 3,538 women were interviewed. The completion of 7 or more prenatal consultations (78.4% and 85.1%) and vaginal delivery (60.7% and 44.0%) were different between low-risk and high-risk pregnancies, respectively. Low-risk pregnant women with lower income and education had lower prevalences of early initiation of prenatal care and the number of consultations. Only 13% of pregnant women completed all exams recommended by the "Rede Cegonha" program. Significant differences in the indicators analyzed were identified between low-risk and high-risk pregnancies.
