RESUMEN
Se estima que alrededor de un 20 por ciento de los embarazos corresponde a la denominación de alto riesgo y ellos son responsables de más del 80 por ciento de los resultados perinatales adversos. La obstetricia actual ha logrado grandes éxitos en la reducción de la morbimortalidad materna, por lo que se ha centrado la atención en los aspectos fetales y neonatales, así como en identificar al subgrupo de mujeres embarazadas que requiere de una mayor vigilancia y cuidado a consecuencia de presentar factores de riesgo claramente identificables. El presente artículo da cuenta del consejo preconcepcional, sus componentes y recomendaciones para su aplicación, así como de la evaluación del riesgo materno-perinatal. Ambas intervenciones buscan reducir las tasas de mortalidad materna y perinatal.
ABSTRACT
It is estimated that roughly 20 percent of pregnancies fall into the high risk category, which in turn are responsible for over 80 percent of perinatal adverse outcome. Modern obstetrics has been very successful in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality. It has focused mainly on fetal and neonatal aspects, and on identifying the subgroup of pregnant women that need greater surveillance and care because of clearly identifiable risk factors. The article describes the preconceptional advice, its components and recommendations for its implementation, as well as its role in maternal and perinatal risk assessment. These interventions attempt to reduce the rates of maternal and perinatal mortality.
