RESUMEN
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal sobre la mortalidad materna en la provincia de Santiago de Cuba desde 1998 hasta 2010, representada por 99 fallecidas como consecuencia directa o indirecta del embarazo, parto o puerperio, para lo cual se revisaron historias clínicas, carnés obstétricos, certificados médicos de defunción, actas de discusiones nacionales de muertes maternas y registro provincial de estadísticas de salud pública. Se analizó la tendencia histórica de los indicadores y en los últimos 13 años, así como su distribución porcentual. En el territorio, los decesos se produjeron comúnmente por pérdidas masivas de sangre, atribuibles en mayor número al embarazo ectópico y, en sentido general, a inadecuado cumplimiento de los protocolos en el proceso de atención médica a las gestantes, sobre todo en los municipios de Santiago de Cuba, Palma Soriano y San Luis.
ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study on maternal mortality was carried out in the province of Santiago de Cuba from 1998 to 2010 in 99 women, dead as a direct or indirect result of pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum, for which medical records, obstetric charts and medical death certificates were reviewed, as well as records of national discussions on maternal deaths and provincial registry of public health statistics. The historical trends of indicators in the last 13 years and their percentage distribution were analyzed. In the territory, deaths were commonly caused by massive blood loss attributable in most of cases to the ectopic pregnancy, and in general to inappropriate compliance with the protocols in the process of care for pregnant women, mainly in the municipalities of Santiago de Cuba, Palma Soriano and San Luis.
