          Abstract

          O aborto é grave problema de saúde no Brasil e suas complicações podem ser evitadas por atenção adequada e oportuna. O artigo avalia a qualidade da atenção às mulheres admitidas por aborto em hospitais do Sistema Único de Saúde, em Salvador, Recife e São Luís, tendo como referência as normas do Ministério da Saúde e o grau de satisfação das usuárias. Trata-se de inquérito com 2.804 usuárias, internadas por complicações do aborto em 19 hospitais, de agosto a dezembro de 2010. Considerou-se 4 dimensões - acolhimento e orientação, insumos/ambiente físico, qualidade técnica e continuidade do cuidado - desdobradas em critérios e indicadores. A adequação às normas foi maior quanto aos critérios de acolhimento e orientação. O apoio social e o direito à informação alcançaram valores baixos nas três cidades. A qualidade técnica do cuidado foi mal avaliada. Em insumos e ambiente físico, a limpeza foi o critério menos adequado. A situação é mais crítica na continuidade do cuidado nas 3 cidades, pela falta de consulta agendada de revisão, de informações sobre cuidados após alta hospitalar, risco de gravidez e planejamento familiar. A atenção ao aborto nessas cidades encontra-se distante do que propõem as normas brasileiras e os organismos internacionais.

          Abortion is a serious health problem in Brazil and complications can be avoided by adequate and timely care. The article evaluates the quality of care given to women admitted for abortion in hospitals operated by the Unified Health System, in Salvador, Recife and São Luis, the benchmarks being Ministry of Health norms and user satisfaction. The article analyzes 2804 women admitted to hospital for abortion complications in 19 hospitals, between August and December 2010. Four dimensions were defined: reception and guidance; inputs and physical environment; technical quality and continuity of care. There was a closer fit to norms on reception and guidance. Social support and the right to information were not well rated in all three cities. The technical quality of care was rated poor. With respect to inputs and physical environment, cleanliness was the least adequate criterion. Continuity of care was the most critical situation in all three cities, due to the lack of scheduled follow-up appointments, information about care available after hospital discharge, the risk of further pregnancy and family planning. Abortion care falls short of that advocated under Brazilian norms and by international agencies.

            WHO systematic review of maternal morbidity and mortality: the prevalence of severe acute maternal morbidity (near miss)

            Aim To determine the prevalence of severe acute maternal morbidity (SAMM) worldwide (near miss). Method Systematic review of all available data. The methodology followed a pre-defined protocol, an extensive search strategy of 10 electronic databases as well as other sources. Articles were evaluated according to specified inclusion criteria. Data were extracted using data extraction instrument which collects additional information on the quality of reporting including definitions and identification of cases. Data were entered into a specially constructed database and tabulated using SAS statistical management and analysis software. Results A total of 30 studies are included in the systematic review. Designs are mainly cross-sectional and 24 were conducted in hospital settings, mostly teaching hospitals. Fourteen studies report on a defined SAMM condition while the remainder use a response to an event such as admission to intensive care unit as a proxy for SAMM. Criteria for identification of cases vary widely across studies. Prevalences vary between 0.80% – 8.23% in studies that use disease-specific criteria while the range is 0.38% – 1.09% in the group that use organ-system based criteria and included unselected group of women. Rates are within the range of 0.01% and 2.99% in studies using management-based criteria. It is not possible to pool data together to provide summary estimates or comparisons between different settings due to variations in case-identification criteria. Nevertheless, there seems to be an inverse trend in prevalence with development status of a country. Conclusion There is a clear need to set uniform criteria to classify patients as SAMM. This standardisation could be made for similar settings separately. An organ-system dysfunction/failure approach is the most epidemiologically sound as it is least open to bias, and thus could permit developing summary estimates.

              Hospital admissions resulting from unsafe abortion: estimates from 13 developing countries.

              Complications from unsafe abortion are believed to account for the largest proportion of hospital admissions for gynaecological services in developing countries. The WHO estimates that one in eight pregnancy-related deaths result from unsafe abortions. The social stigma and legal restrictions associated with abortion in many countries means that data on the magnitude of this problem are scarce; this article estimates the rate and numbers of hospital admissions resulting from unsafe abortions in developing countries to help quantify the problem. National estimates of abortion-related hospital admissions in women aged 15-44 years were compiled for 13 developing countries: Africa (Egypt, Nigeria, and Uganda), Asia (Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the Philippines), and Latin America and the Caribbean (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru). These data were combined with supplementary data from five countries in sub-Saharan Africa (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa) to give estimates for the three world regions. The annual hospitalisation rate varies from a low of about 3 per 1000 women in Bangladesh to a high of about 15 per 1000 in Egypt and Uganda. Nigeria, Pakistan, and the Philippines have rates of 4-7 per 1000, and two countries in Latin America with recent data have rates of almost 9 per 1000. In the developing world as a whole, an estimated five million women are admitted to hospital for treatment of complications from induced abortions each year. This equates to an average rate of 5.7 per 1000 women per year in all developing regions, excluding China. By comparison, in developed countries complications from abortion procedures or hospitalisation are rare. These results help quantify the magnitude of the adverse health effects of unsafe abortion in developing countries and highlight the need for improved access to post-abortion care. The provision of abortion services is changing to include the drug misoprostol and this could reduce the severity of abortion complications and the number of women who are hospitalised. Researchers will need to monitor these changes to provide countries with up-to-date information on illness and death from unsafe abortion. Improved contraceptive services are necessary to prevent unintended pregnancy. However, increasing access to safe abortion services is the most effective way of preventing the burden of unsafe abortion, and remains a high priority for developing countries.
