RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Determine the quality of prenatal assistance by means of an audit. DESIGN: This is a retrospective and longitudinal observational study. SITE. At the Primary Attention level, at the "La Chana" Health Centre, Granada. PATIENTS: 514 mothers-to-be. MAIN MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: The completion rate of the programme was studied via twelve indicators. Gynecological examination during the first visit (37.74%), serology of infections and toxoplasma (32%) and AgHBs (14.28%) were the indicators least carried out. Gestatory age (98.84%) probable date of the birth (98.45%) and arterial blood pressure (96.7%) were those most frequently carried out. CONCLUSIONS: Motivation exists in the Primary Attention team to record complete medical histories. Need to: unify therapeutic diagnostic criteria, increase coordination between the different levels of attention, and carry out audits more often, to evaluate the quality of attention given objectively.
