ABSTRACT

En 2021 entró en vigencia en Argentina la Ley N.º 27.610. El objetivo es describir características de afiliadas a OSEP que solicitaron interrupción del embarazo (SIE).Trabajo observacional descriptivo. Se analizaron las variables del 0800 del Ministerio de Salud de la Nación de todas las personas que SIE con OSEP, entre el 24/01 y 31/12/2021. Los datos fueron analizados con SPSS Statistics. Se utilizaron moda, mediana, porcentaje, tasa y el chi2. Se recibieron 427 SIE, se concretaron 330 (77,3%). Solicitaron ive: media 28,59 años. Modo 19 y 33 años. Concretaron ive: modo 22 años. 84,5% se realizó ambulatorio con misoprostol. De las SIE, 50,4% eran solteras, 43,4% trabajaba, 59,1% tenía secundario completo. Se desconoce 32,8%. De las SIE, 52,7% refirió haber estado utilizando MAC (54,2% preservativo; 37,4% anticonceptivos orales; 2,8% métodos "naturales"; 2,2% DIU). La mayor cantidad fue de zonas urbanas del Gran Mendoza. Sin embargo, se observan tasas elevadas en zonas rurales respecto de algunas zonas urbanas y más pobladas. Se observó progresión de SIE a lo largo del año. Un 11% después de SIE decidió continuar con el embarazo. Aparentemente ninguna de las variables tuvo relación con esa decisión. El MAC utilizado fue mayormente preservativo y anticonceptivos orales. Esto podría indicar falta de educación y poco acceso a métodos de larga duración. La problemática de interrupción es transversal. En base a los resultados de este trabajo, las personas sin pareja conviviente, ante un embarazo no planificado serían las que SIE. Ninguna otra variable parece actuar como determinante. Tampoco del paso de la solicitud a la interrupción efectiva o a la continuación del embarazo. Hay que aumentar la accesibilidad a MAC en zonas rurales (AU)


In 2021, Law No. 27610 entered into force in Argentina. The objective is to describe characteristics of people with OSEP who requested termination of pregnancy (PWRTP). Descriptive observational work. The variables of the 0800 of the Ministry of Health of Argentina of all the PWRTP with OSEP, between 01/24 and 12/31/2021, were analyzed. Data were analyzed with SPSS Statistics. Mode, median, percentage, rate and chi2 were used. PWRTP: 427 requests were received, 330 (77.3%) were completed. PWRTP: mean 28.59 years. Mode 19 and 33 years. People who had an abortion: mode 22 years. 84.5% were performed on an outpatient basis with misoprostol. 50.4% of the PWRTP were single, 43.4% worked, 59.1% had completed high school, 32.8% unknown, 52.7% reported having been using contraceptive methods (CM): 54.2% condoms; 37.4% oral contraceptives; 2.8% "natural" methods; 2.2% IUDs. The largest amount was from urban areas of Mendoza. However, high rates are observed in rural areas. A progression of the amount of PWRTP was observed throughout the year. 11% after requesting an abortion decided to continue with the pregnancy. Apparently none of the variables was related to that decision. The CM used were mostly condoms and oral contraceptives. This may indicate a lack of education and poor access to long-acting CM. The problem of interruption is transversal. People without a cohabiting partner, faced with an unplanned pregnancy, are the ones who RTP. No other variable seems to act as a determinant. Nor from the transition from the request to the effective interruption or continuation of the pregnancy. We must increase the accessibility to CM in rural areas (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: to analyze abortions provided by law (APL) carried out in Brazil between 2010 and 2019 regarding the need for travel of users, as well as the expenditure of time and money on these trips. Methods: descriptive study of records of outpatient care and hospitalizations for APL between 2010 and 2019. The municipal provision and the inter-municipal flows for the realization of the APL, the availability of public transportation for this travel, as well as its cost and time, were identified. Results: 2.6% of Brazilian municipalities had a sustained provision of APL between 2010 and 2019. Of the 15,889 APL performed, 14.8% occurred in municipalities other than those where the user lived. The smaller the population size of the municipality of residence, the higher the percentage of the need for travel. Of these inter-municipal trips, 16.0% had regular round-trip links by public transport. The total travel time ranged from 26 minutes to 4 and a half days, and the cost from R$2.70 to R$1,218.06; the highest medians were among residents of the Midwest region. Conclusions: the concentration of services, the deficiency of inter-municipal public transport, and the expenditure on travel to access the APL are barriers to users that need the health service, demanding public policies to overcome them.


Resumo Objetivos: analisar as restrições aos abortos previstos em lei (APL) realizados no Brasil entre 2010 e 2019 quanto à necessidade de deslocamento das usuárias, bem como quanto ao dispêndio de tempo e dinheiro nessas viagens. Métodos: estudo descritivo dos registros de atendimentos ambulatoriais e internações para APL entre 2010 e 2019. Foram identificados a oferta municipal e os fluxos intermunicipais para realização dos APL, a disponibilidade de transporte coletivo para esse deslocamento, bem como seu custo e tempo. Resultados: 2,6% dos municípios brasileiros tiveram oferta sustentada de APL entre 2010 e 2019. Dos 15.889 APL realizados, 14,8% se deram em municípios diferentes daqueles de residência da usuária. Quanto menor o porte populacional do município de residência, maior o percentual com necessidade de viajar. Desses deslocamentos intermunicipais, 16,0% tinham ligações regulares de ida e retorno em transporte público. O tempo de viagem total variou de 26 minutos a quatro dias e meio, e o custo de R$ 2,70 a R$ 1.218,06; as maiores medianas estiveram entre as residentes da região Centro-Oeste. Conclusões: a concentração de serviços, a deficiência de transporte público intermunicipal, bem como o dispêndio com a viagem para acesso ao APL são barreiras às usuárias que precisam do serviço de saúde, demandando políticas públicas para sua superação.

ABSTRACT

El Código Penal Argentino en su artículo 86 especifica las causales para las interrupciones legales del embarazo. En el Área Programática del Hospital Piñero de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires se estableció un protocolo para realizarlas. Desde la implementación no se ha evaluado. El objetivo fue describir las características de dichas intervenciones en 2017. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, como fuente de información se utilizó una planilla completada por los equipos luego de atender a las mujeres. Hubo 503 casos, la edad gestacional promedio de la primera consulta fue de 8.5 semanas. El 93.8% se resolvió en el primer nivel, el 94.5% de ellas en el primer trimestre de gestación. La causal salud integral fue la principalmente tenida en cuenta en los centros de salud, la causal violación lo fue en el hospital. El plazo de resolución de las interrupciones fue de 5.7 días en los centros de salud y de 1.3 días en hospital. La resolución fue medicamentosa en el 80.9% de los casos en los centros de salud. La tasa de complicaciones fue 8 cada 1000 interrupciones. La cobertura de método anticonceptivo posterior fue 16.7 cada 100 interrupciones. En cumplimiento del fallo F.A.L. (Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación), el acceso a las interrupciones legales del embarazo y la atención de las mujeres, implica un aumento en el acceso efectivo de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos y una disminución del número de las que se verán expuestas a prácticas inseguras que aumentan su riesgo de morbimortalidad en situación de embarazo.


The Argentine Penal Code in its article 86 specifies the grounds for the legal interruption of pregnancy. In the Programmatic Area of the Piñero Hospital, city of Buenos Aires, a protocol to perform them was established. Since the implementation it had not been evaluated. The objective was to describe the characteristics of these interventions in 2017. A descriptive study was conducted, as a source of information a form completed by the teams after care for the women was used. There were 503 cases, the average gestational age at the first consultation was 8.5 weeks; 93.8% were resolved in the first level, 94.5% of them in the first trimester of pregnancy. The causal integral health was the main one addressed in the health centers, while in the hospital it was rape. The resolution period for the interruptions was 5.7 days in the health centers and 1.3 days in the hospital. The resolution was with medications in 80.9% of the cases in the health centers. The complication rate was 8 per 1000 interruptions. The subsequent contraceptive method coverage was 16.7 per 100 interruptions. In compliance with the sentence F.A.L. (Supreme Court of Justice), access to legal interruptions of pregnancy and women's care implies an increase in effective access to sexual and reproductive rights and a decrease in the number of those who will be exposed to unsafe practices that increase the risk of morbidity and mortality.

ABSTRACT

Resumo A anencefalia é uma malformação caracterizada pela ausência total ou parcial do encéfalo e o Brasil é o quarto colocado em número de nascimentos de fetos anencéfalos no mundo. Existe associação entre anencefalia fetal e maior número de complicações maternas. A partir de 2012 a mulher com gestação de anencéfalo poderá manter ou interromper a gestação, se assim o desejar, sem necessidade de autorização judicial. Objetivos: compreender as vivências das mulheres de fetos com anencefalia e identificar os fatores determinantes para a escolha de interromper ou não interromper a gestação. Estudo qualitativo e método das narrativas de vida, com 12 mulheres, maiores de 18 anos e com diagnóstico de feto anencéfalo, que realizaram a interrupção da gestação ou o parto em uma maternidade pública do Rio de Janeiro. A coleta dos dados foi entre junho e novembro de 2016 e encerrada quando os padrões narrativos alcançaram a saturação progressiva, a partir das recorrências. Os enunciados emergidos após leitura flutuante e aprofundada foram articulados em Núcleos Narrativos e realizada análise comparativa e compreensiva dos dados. Os relatos trouxeram à tona as vivências intensas dessas mulheres, como também as fragilidades existentes em relação ao cuidado e a problemática da interrupção da gestação.


Abstract Anencephaly is a malformation characterized by the total or partial absence of the brain, and Brazil records the fourth largest number of births of anencephalic fetuses in the world. Fetal anencephaly is associated with a more significant number of maternal complications. As of 2012, women with anencephalic gestation were empowered with the right to carry the pregnancy to term or terminate it, if they so desired, without any judicial authorization. Objectives: to understand the experiences of women with fetal anencephaly and to identify the determinant factors for interrupting the gestation or not. This is a qualitative study using the Life Narratives method with 12 women over 18 years old diagnosed with an anencephalic fetus, who interrupted gestation or delivery in a public maternity hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected between June and November 2016, and the process was finalized when the narrative patterns reached progressive saturation from the recurrences. The statements that emerged following floating and in-depth reading were articulated in Narrative Nuclei, and data comparative and comprehensive analysis was performed. The reports brought to light the intense experiences of these women, as well as the weaknesses existing concerning care and the pregnancy termination issue.

ABSTRACT

En el contexto de la publicación por parte del Ministerio de Salud de la Nación de Argentina del Protocolo para la atenciónintegral de las personas con derecho a la interrupción legal del embarazo (ILE), resumido y comentado en este mismonúmero de EVIDENCIA, este comentario editorial ofrece: 1) una perspectiva amplia de lo que significa el aborto, desde lamirada estrictamente biologicista hasta definiciones basadas en el enfoque de género; 2) una descripción de los diferentesmarcos jurídicos respecto del aborto que imperan actualmente en Latinoamérica y Argentina, haciendo especial hincapiéen lo concerniente a las ILE; 3) información epidemiológica sobre la mortalidad materna en Argentina y la asociada alaborto inseguro; 4) estadísticas sobre la realización de ILE en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina.Dada la situación actual de aislamiento social preventivo obligatorio en el marco de la pandemia de Covid-19, conside-ramos quienes integramos equipos de salud debemos estar más atentos/as que nunca a las situaciones de violenciapotencial que podrían suceder en este contexto, para dar las respuestas pertinentes -entre las que se incluyen las ILE-, alas víctimas de embarazos no deseados consecutivos a situaciones de coerción. (AU)


In the context of the publication by the Argentine Ministry of Health of the Protocol for the comprehensive care of people withthe right to legal termination of pregnancy (LTP), summarized and commented on in this same issue of EVIDENCIA, thiseditorial article offers: 1) a broad perspective of what abortion means, from a strictly biological point of view to definitionsbased on the gender approach; 2) a description of the different legal frameworks regarding abortion that currently prevailin Latin America and Argentina, with special emphasis on LTP; 3) epidemiological information on maternal mortality inArgentina and that associated with unsafe abortion; 4) statistics on the realization of LTP in the Autonomous City ofBuenos Aires, Argentina.Given the current situation of mandatory preventive social isolation in the framework of the Covid-19 pandemic, we considerthat those of us who are part of health teams should be more alert than ever to situations of potential violence that couldoccur in this context, to give the relevant responses - including LTP- to victims of unwanted pregnancies following coercivesituations.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Evaluar los datos clínicos obtenido en la policlínica de Salud Sexual y Reproductiva del Hospital Universitario a los 6 años de la implementación de la ley de interrupción voluntaria del embarazo (IVE). Métodos: revisión de historias clínicas de diciembre de 2012 a diciembre de 2018. Resultados: de 448 pacientes, 361 completaron el proceso IVE, 63 requirieron una segunda dosis de Misoprostol. Cuarenta pacientes decidieron continuar sus embarazos y siguieron con el control en el servicio y 32 no volvieron tras su primera entrevista. Conclusiones: basado en los resultados de la investigación, el procedimiento médico de IVE es efectivo en todos los casos, solo en 33 pacientes se requirió procedimientos quirúrgicos adicionales. La ley IVE representa un progreso considerable en la salud reproductiva de la mujer uruguaya. La IVE ha asegurado asistencia médica, salud y el respeto a los derechos reproductivos sexuales y humanos, incluyendo oportunidad, continuidad y humanización de la interrupción del embarazo. La existencia de la ley de por sí no garantiza que las mujeres opten por abortar.


Aims: To evaluate clinical data from the Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinic of the University Hospital six years after the implementation of the voluntary interruption of pregnancy law (VIP). Methods: revision of clinical records from December 2012 to December 2018. Results: Out of 448 patients, 361 interrupted their pregnancies. 63 patients required a second dose of Misoprostol, 30 patients required additional medical interventions, 49 patients decided to continue their pregnancies and were provided assistance, and 32 did not return following their first interview. Conclusions: Based on the research findings, the medical procedure of VIP is effective in all the cases, just 33 needs surgical additional process. The VIP law represents a considerable progress in the reproductive health of Uruguayan women. As a result, there is a higher rate of abortions in the country. VIP has ensured medical assistance, healthcare and respect for sexual and human reproductive rights, including opportunity, continuity, and humanization of pregnancy interruption. The existence of the law per se does not ensure that women will opt for abortion.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Durante el primer semestre de 2018, en Argentina se inició un profundo debate sobre la legalización de la práctica del aborto, que puso en evidencia la falta de estudios científicos que aborden la dimensión económica del tema en la Argentina. Este trabajo busca avanzar en la cuantificación de los costos del aborto bajo dos escenarios: el del actual contexto de ilegalidad y los costos potenciales si se aplicaran los protocolos internacionales recomendados, en un contexto de legalización de la práctica. Los resultados de la comparación de los costos monetarios totales en 2018 (privados o de bolsillo y para el sistema de salud) del escenario actual de ilegalidad y práctica insegura del aborto, frente a escenarios potenciales de prácticas seguras, muestran que se podría ahorrar una gran cantidad de recursos si se implementaran los protocolos recomendados. Dichos resultandos, además, se muestran robustos al realizar una serie de ejercicios de sensibilidad sobre los principales supuestos incluidos en las comparaciones.


ABSTRACT During the first semester of 2018, a profound debate on the legalization of the practice of abortion was initiated in Argentina, which exposed the lack of scientific studies addressing the economic dimension of abortion in this country. This work seeks to move forward in the quantification of the costs of abortion under two scenarios: the current context of illegality and the potential costs if the recommended international protocols were applied in a context of legalization of the practice. The results of the comparison between, on the one hand, the total monetary costs in 2018 (private or out-of-pocket expenditure and costs for the health care system) of the current scenario of illegality and unsafe practice of abortion and, on the other hand, potential scenarios of safe practices, shows that a large amount of resources could be saved if the recommended protocols were implemented. These results proved to be robust after carrying out a series of sensitivity exercises on the main assumptions included in the comparisons.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Objetivo: Analizar las estrategias desarrolladas por los centros de salud para implementar la ley de interrupción voluntaria del embarazo (IVE) en los servicios públicos del primer nivel de atención en Montevideo, Uruguay. Material y métodos: Investigación cualitativa, que combinó técnicas de análisis documental y cuestionarios autoadministrados a informantes clave y entrevistas semidirigidas a directores de centros de salud. Se construyó un índice sumatorio simple de accesibilidad a las prestaciones de IVE en el centro de salud. Resultados: La ley aprobada en Uruguay en 2012 exigió el desarrollo de una estrategia para favorecer la accesibilidad de las mujeres a la IVE en el primer nivel de atención público. Los servicios no lograron implementar cabalmente la estrategia por dificultades institucionales. Conclusión: Pese a la amplia disponibilidad de servicios públicos de IVE en el primer nivel de atención y a que forman parte de las prestaciones en salud sexual y reproductiva, lo que favorece integralidad en la atención, persiste una barrera importante en el alto porcentaje de ginecólogos objetores de conciencia.


Abstract: Objective: To analyze the strategies developed by the health centers to implement the law of legal abortion (LA) in public services of the primary care in Montevideo, Uruguay. Materials and methods: A qualitative research was conducted combining techniques of document analysis, self-administered questionnaires to key informants, and in-depth interviews with directors of health centers. A simple summative index of accessibility to abortion services was built. Results: The law approved in Uruguay in 2012 demanded the development of a strategy to promote women's accessibility to LA in the public primary care system. The services failed to fully implement the strategy, due to institutional barriers. Conclusion: Despite the wide availability of LA services in primary care and that they are an integral part of sexual and reproductive health benefits, there is an important barrier to their use in the number of gynecologists that appeal to conscientious objection.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Sexual violence is increasingly frequent worldwide. The aim here was to evaluate the sociodemographic and psychological characteristics of women who requested legal abortion, at a public healthcare service, after sufering sexual violence. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective descriptive study on 131 women who underwent legal abortion at the University of Campinas between 1994 and 2014, consequent to sexual violence. METHODS: The sociodemographic and psychological characteristics of women who were victims of sexual violence were evaluated from their medical records. The tests used to evaluate possible associations were the chi-square and/or Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: The women's mean age was 23 ± 9.2 years; 77.9% were white and 71.8% were single; 32.8% were students and 58.6% had employment outside of their homes. The majority reported that they did not know the aggressor (62.3%), but among the adolescents, 58% of the aggressors were known. The majority asked for abortion up to the 12th weeks of gestation (63.4%). Only 2.3% presented curettage complications. The psychological situation most frequently encountered was determined, in 34.4% of the cases before the abortion; and good in 32.8% after the abortion. CONCLUSIONS: There was greater occurrence of sexual violence among students and women who worked outside. Among the students, most of these were adolescents and had no previous sexual life. The teenagers were raped by a known aggressor.


RESUMO CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: A violência sexual está cada vez mais frequente no mundo. O objetivo foi avaliar as características sociodemográfcas e psicológicas das mulheres que solicitaram o aborto legal em um serviço público após violência sexual. DESENHO DO ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo descritivo retrospectivo com 131 mulheres que realizaram aborto legal após violência sexual na Universidade Estadual de Campinas no período de 1994 a 2014. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliadas as características sociodemográfcas e psicológicas das mulheres vítimas de violência sexual por meio de seus prontuários. Os testes utilizados para avaliar possíveis associações foram o qui-quadrado e/ou o teste exato de Fisher. RESULTADOS: A idade média foi de 23 ± 9,2; 77,9% eram brancas e 71,8% solteiras; 32,8% eram estudantes e 58,6% trabalham fora. A maioria relatou desconhecer o agressor (62,3%), porém entre as adolescentes, 58% dos agressores eram conhecidos. A maioria das mulheres solicitou o aborto com até 12 semanas de gestação (63,4%). Apenas 2,3% apresentaram complicações decorrentes da curetagem e a situação psicológica mais encontrada foi decidida em 34,4% no pré-aborto e bem em 32,8% dos casos no pós-aborto. CONCLUSÕES: Houve maior ocorrência de violência sexual entre estudantes e mulheres que trabalham fora. As estudantes, na maioria, eram adolescentes sem vida sexual prévia. As adolescentes foram violentadas por agressor conhecido. CONCLUSÕES: Houve maior ocorrência de violência sexual entre estudantes e mulheres que trabalham fora. As estudantes, na maioria, eram adolescentes sem vida sexual prévia. As adolescentes foram violentadas por agressor conhecido.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the profile of women seen in a Fetal Medicine unit, diagnosed with fetal abnormality incompatible with neonatal survival in their current pregnancy, and to check the association of gestational age upon diagnosis with the option of pregnancy termination. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study carried out in the Fetal Medicine Outpatients Clinic of a university hospital, in the city of São Paulo (SP), Brazil, using medical records of pregnant women with fetus presenting abnormalities incompatible with neonatal survival. The sample comprised 94 medical records. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 19, was used for the data statistical analysis. Results: The population of the study included young adult women, who had complete or incomplete high school education, employed, with family income of one to three minimum wages, single, nonsmokers, who did not drink alcoholic beverages or used illicit drugs. Women with more advanced gestational age upon fetal diagnosis (p=0.0066) and/or upon admission to the specialized unit (p=0.0018) presented a lower percentage of termination of pregnancy. Conclusion: Due to characteristics different from those classically considered as of high gestational risk, these women might not be easily identified during the classification of gestational risk, what may contribute to a late diagnosis of fetal diseases. Early diagnosis enables access to specialized multiprofessional care in the proper time for couple's counseling on the possibility of requesting legal authorization for pregnancy termination.


RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar o perfil de mulheres atendidas em um serviço de Medicina Fetal, que receberam diagnóstico de anomalia fetal incompatível com a sobrevida neonatal na gestação atual, e verificar a associação da idade gestacional no diagnóstico com a opção pela interrupção da gravidez. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de coorte retrospectivo, realizado no ambulatório de Medicina Fetal de um hospital universitário da cidade de São Paulo (SP), com prontuários de mulheres com fetos portadores de anomalias incompatíveis com a sobrevida neonatal na gestação atual. A amostra constituiu-se de 94 prontuários. Para análise estatística dos dados, utilizou-se o programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 19. Resultados: A população foi de mulheres adultas jovens, com escolaridade compatível com o Ensino Médio completo/incompleto, empregadas, com renda familiar entre um e três salários mínimo, solteiras, que não faziam uso de tabaco, bebidas alcoólicas ou de drogas ilícitas. Verificou-se que mulheres com maior idade gestacional na ocasião do diagnóstico fetal (p=0,0066) e/ou na chegada ao serviço especializado (p=0,0018) apresentaram menor percentual de interrupção gestacional. Conclusão: Por apresentarem características diferentes daquelas classicamente consideradas de alto risco gestacional, é possível que essas mulheres não tenham sido facilmente identificadas durante a classificação de risco gestacional, o que pode ter colaborado para o diagnóstico tardio de patologias fetais. O diagnóstico precoce possibilita acesso à assistência multiprofissional especializada em tempo adequado para aconselhamento do casal sobre a possibilidade de solicitação de autorização judicial para a interrupção gestacional.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O artigo descreve os resultados de um estudo com métodos mistos nos serviços de aborto legal no país. Foram avaliados 68 serviços, em duas etapas. Na primeira, censitária, um questionário eletrônico com perguntas sobre organização dos serviços de aborto legal foi enviado a todas as instituições. A segunda, amostral e presencial, foi realizada em 5 serviços de referência, um para cada região do país, com aplicação de formulário para coletar dados das mulheres e do aborto nos arquivos de prontuários, além de 82 entrevistas com profissionais de saúde. Dos serviços, 37 informaram que realizam aborto legal e em 7 estados não estavam ativos. Boletim de ocorrência, laudo pericial e alvará judicial foram solicitados por 14%, 8% e 8% dos serviços, respectivamente. As mulheres que abortaram tinham predominantemente entre 15-29 anos, e eram solteiras e católicas. O aborto foi por estupro, até 14 semanas, com emprego da aspiração manual intrauterina. Para os profissionais, as principais dificuldades no funcionamento dos serviços são a pequena disponibilidade de médicos para o aborto e a capacitação escassa da equipe. Os dados mostram que ainda há distanciamento entre a previsão legal e a realidade dos serviços. A implementação de novos serviços e o fortalecimento dos existentes são ações necessárias.


Abstract This article presents the results of a mixed methods study of 68 legal abortion services in Brazil. The services were analyzed in two stages. The first stage was a census, in which all the institutions were sent an electronic questionnaire about the organization of the legal abortion services. The second stage was conducted in a sample of 5 reference services, one for each region of the country. In this stage, a form was used to collect data about the women and the abortions in the medical records, and 82 interviews with health professionals were conducted. Thirty-seven of the services informed they performed legal abortions, and the services were inactive in 7 states. Police reports, forensic reports, and court orders were required by 14%, 8% and 8% of the services, respectively. Women who underwent abortions were predominantly aged 15-29, single and Catholic. Most abortions were performed until 14 weeks in the case of rape-related pregnancy, by means of manual vacuum aspiration. According to the health professionals, the main difficulties faced in the services are the low availability of physicians to perform abortions and the insufficient training of the staff. The data reveal a discrepancy between the legal provision and the reality of the services. The implementation of more services and the strengthening of the existing services available are necessary.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Anencephaly is considered to be the most common type of neural tube defect. Our aim was to assess the clinical and gestational features of a cohort of fetuses with suspected anencephaly. DESIGN AND SETTING: Population-based retrospective cohort study in a referral hospital in southern Brazil. METHODS: The sample consisted of fetuses referred due to suspected anencephaly, to the Fetal Medicine Service of Hospital Materno Infantil Presidente Vargas, between January 2005 and September 2013. Clinical, radiological, pathological and survival data were gathered. RESULTS: Our sample was composed of 29 fetuses. The diagnosis of suspected anencephaly was made on average at 21.3 weeks of gestation. Seven fetuses had malformations that affected other organs, and these included oral clefts (n = 4) and congenital heart defects (n = 2). In 16 cases, there was termination of pregnancy (n = 12) or intrauterine death (n = 4). Regarding those who were born alive (n = 13), all of them died in the first week of life. After postnatal evaluation, the diagnosis of anencephaly was confirmed in 22 cases (75.9%). Other conditions included amniotic band disruption complex (6.9%), microhydranencephaly (6.9%), merocrania (3.4%) and holoprosencephaly (3.4%). CONCLUSIONS: Different conditions involving the cranial vault may be confused with anencephaly, as seen in our sample. However, these conditions also seem to have a poor prognosis. It seems that folic acid supplementation is not being properly performed. .


CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: A anencefalia é considerada o tipo mais comum de defeito de fechamento do tubo neural. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar as características clínicas e gestacionais de uma coorte de fetos com suspeita de anencefalia. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo de base populacional em um hospital de referência no sul do Brasil. MÉTODOS: A amostra foi composta por fetos encaminhados por suspeita de anencefalia ao Serviço de Medicina Fetal do Hospital Materno Infantil Presidente Vargas, no período de janeiro de 2005 a setembro de 2013. Foi realizada coleta de dados clínicos, radiológicos, patológicos e de sobrevida. RESULTADOS: Nossa amostra foi composta por 29 fetos. A suspeita do diagnóstico de anencefalia foi realizada em média com 21,3 semanas de gestação. Sete fetos apresentavam malformações que afetavam outros órgãos, e incluíram fendas orais (n = 4) e defeitos cardíacos congênitos (n = 2). Em 16 casos houve interrupção da gravidez (n = 12) ou morte intrauterina (n = 4). Daqueles que nasceram vivos (n = 13), todos morreram na primeira semana de vida. Após a avaliação pós-natal, o diagnóstico de anencefalia foi confirmado em 22 casos (75,9%). Outras condições incluíram o complexo disruptivo de banda amniótica (6,9%), microhidranencefalia (6,9%), merocrania (3,4%) e holoprosencefalia (3,4%). CONCLUSÕES: Diferentes condições que envolvem a calota craniana podem ser confundidas com a anencefalia, como verificado em nossa amostra. No entanto, estas também parecem ter um prognóstico pobre. A suplementação com ácido fólico parece não estar sendo realizada de forma adequada. .

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A cidade de São Paulo é um dos principais destinos de mulheres migrantes bolivianas em busca de trabalho. No entanto, estão submetidas a precárias condições de vida e de trabalho que as tornam mais vulneráveis a sofrer violências, incluso a sexual. Objetivo: Identificar características sociodemográficas de migrantes bolivianas com gestação decorrente de estupro, atendidas em serviço público de referência para abortamento legal. Método: Estudo retrospectivo e documental. Amostra de conveniência com 38 mulheres bolivianas que solicitaram abortamento por gestação decorrente de estupro entre 2002 e 2014. As variáveis de estudo foram região de procedência, idade, escolaridade, ocupação, situação conjugal, religião, tipificação do agressor, comunicação para a polícia, circunstâncias do crime sexual e seus desdobramentos. Resultados: A idade variou de 13-34 anos, média de 24 ± 6,3 anos. A maioria era solteira (63,2%), católica (55,3%), trabalhadora (71,1%) e com ensino fundamental incompleto (28,9%)e residia na Zona Leste (44,7%). A violência sexual ocorreu principalmente na residência (26,3%) ou durante lazer (23,7%), praticada por desconhecido (63,2%) mediante violência física e ameaça (39,5%). A maior parte dos casos foi encaminhada por serviços públicos de saúde (39,5%) portando boletim de ocorrência policial (52,6%) e com idade gestacional média de 12,1 semanas. A gestação foi interrompida em 30 casos (78,9%) e o principal motivo de recusa do abortamento foi idade gestacional ≥ 23 semanas. Conclusões: Em muitos aspectos a violência sexual praticada contra migrantes bolivianas se assemelha às situações vivenciadas por mulheres em grandes centros urbanos espaços públicos por agressores desconhecidos. No entanto, os resultados sugerem que as migrantes bolivianas estão mais sujeitas ao estupro praticado com violência física e menor capacidade de comunicar o crime para a polícia.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Identificar factores asociados con la búsqueda del servicio de interrupción legal del embarazo (ILE) en la Ciudad de México. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se utilizó un diseño casos-controles. Usuarias del servicio de ILE fueron definidas como casos, y usuarias de control prenatal con 13 o más semanas de gestación con un embarazo no deseado constituyeron los controles. Se ajustaron modelos de regresión logística condicional. RESULTADOS: Los años de escolaridad (RM=1.47, IC:1.04-2.07), la ocupación (estudiante, RM=7.31, IC:1.58-33.95; tener empleo remunerado, RM= 13.43, IC:2.04-88.54) y número de interrupciones de embarazo previas (RM=11.41, IC:1.65-79.07) se asociaron con la búsqueda de ILE. El factor de mayor peso fue la ocupación; las mujeres que trabajan tuvieron 13.4 veces mayor posibilidad de demandar el servicio de ILE. CONCLUSIONES: En el contexto de la Ciudad de México, mujeres con más educación y participación laboral activa utilizan más los servicios de ILE. Se requieren estrategias dirigidas a incrementar el uso de estos servicios por mujeres menos favorecidas.


OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with the seeking of the legal-interruption-pregnancy (LIP) services in Mexico City. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used a case-control design. Users who utilized the LIP were defined as cases, while users of the antenatal care service with gestational age 13 or more weeks and who reported having an unwanted pregnancy were defined as controls. Logistic regressions were fitted to estimate odds ratios. RESULTS: Higher level of education (OR=1.47, 95% CI:1.04-2.07), women's occupation (being student OR=7.31, 95% CI:1.58-33.95; worker OR=13.43, 95% CI:2.04-88.54), and number of previous abortions (OR=11.41, 95% CI:1.65-79.07) were identified as factors associated with the lookup of LIP. CONCLUSIONS: In Mexico City context, empowered women with a higher level of education, or having a work activity are the users of LIP services. Strategies for improving access of women with low empowerment conditions are needed.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó una encuesta en 3021 empleados del Gobierno Federal de la República Mexicana sobre su aceptación o rechazo del aborto en cinco circunstancias diferentes. Se recabó información sobre datos socioeconómicos de los encuestados. Veintitrés por ciento rechazaron totalmente el aborto y 6 por ciento lo admitieron en todas las condiciones. El aborto fue aceptado por 61 por ciento si el embarazo pone en riesgo la vida de la madre; por 63 por ciento si ocurre por violación en mujer soltera; por 41 por ciento si se trata de una familia numerosa con serios problemas económicos; por 13 por ciento si se espera la mejoría económica de la pareja, y por 18 por ciento si se ha tomado la decisión de no tener más de dos hijos. El 16 por ciento de los encuestados, señaló que el aborto puede ser una decisión exclusiva de la mujer y 29 por ciento que se requiere el previo acuerdo con su pareja. El aborto es más aceptado por los jóvenes, por quienes tienen menos hijos, por los que viven en unión libre y por aquellos que tienen mayor nivel académico y mayores ingresos. Es también admitido en mayor proporción por quienes declaran no tener ninguna religión y por aquellos que no asisten a los servicios religiosos o en quienes la religión no influye en sus decisiones.
