ABSTRACT

Este trabalho trata de um estudio epidemiológico de cinco mulheres de Ribeirao Preto, cujas gestaçao terminaran em morte fetal por sífilis no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Riberao Preto, Universidad de Sao Paulo, durante 1991. O objetivo foi traçar o perfil epidemiológico dessas mulheres; identificar suas trajetórias de atendimiento pré-natal; analisar os fatores de risco identificados e propor estratégias para o controle da sífilis na regiao, durante o período gestacional. Obtiveram-se dados mediante entrevistas realizadas nas residencias das mulheres pesquisadas e as informaçoes obstétricas (maternas e fetais) foram subsequentemente confirmadas através de consulta aos prontuários médicos. Detectaram-se, ao todo, 25 fatores causais da morte fetal os quais foram atribuídos, em proporçoes relativamente iguais, ao sistema estrutural de saúde e ao grau de conhecimento e comportamento da paciente. Dentre os fatores relativos as falhas do sistema de saúde destacam-se: recebimiento tardio dos resultados serológicos, rotina preconizada nao cumprida, diagnóstico médico tardio e controle de cura ineficaz. Quanto aos problemas relativos a paciente salientam-se a desinformaçao sobre sífilis e sobre a importancia do pré-natal. Frente a constataçao de que ainda existe morte fetal por sífilis na regiao em estud, recomenda-se que as autoridades de saúde materno-infantil estabeleçam ou tornem a estabelecer a assistencia pré-natal de bom nível, mediante diretrizes claras em relaçao a triagem sorológica, implantaçao de vigilancia epidemiológica e melhor atuaçao das equipes médicas e paramédias (AU)

ABSTRACT

An epidemiologic study was done of five Ribeirao Preto women whose pregnancies ended in fetal death from syphilis at the University Hospital of the Ribeirao Preto Medical School, Sao Paulo, in 1991. The study sought to establish to epidemiologic profiles of these women, determine the prenatal care they had received, assess the risk factors involved, and propose strategies for controlling syphilis during pregnancy within the region. Data were collected through home interviews with the study subjects. Obstetric (maternal and fetal) information obtained from these interviews was subsequently verified by consulting the women's medical records. In all, some 25 problems with a bearing on the fetal deaths were found, these being ascribable in roughly equal measure to health system shortcomings and the study subjects' knowledge and behavior. Notable among the health system problems were delayed receipt of serologic findings, failure to comply with recommended routines, late medical diagnosis, and ineffective monitoring of cure. Principal patient-related problems included ignorance of syphilis and unawareness of the importance of prenatal care. In view of the fact that fetal death from syphilis continues to occur in the affected region, it is recommended that maternal and child health authorities seek to establish or reestablish prenatal care of the requisite quality by instituting clear-cut guidelines for serologic screening, implementation of epidemiologic surveillance, and effective action by medical and paramedical teams
