“…The challenge of reducing iatrogenic prematurity and intra-partum asphyxia, which are the result of improper termination of pregnancy and other interventions during labor and birth should be taken into consideration as these actions are still common in Brazil and are associated with neonatal mortality 5,38,39 . Studies highlight the increasing prematurity rates associated with high rates of cesarean sections in Brazil 30 .…”

Doenças hipertensivas e infecções 2,14 na gravidez têm sido relacionadas como fatores de risco para a mortalidade fetal 2,12,13,14 , prematuridade 15 , baixo peso ao nascer e mortalidade neonatal 14 . Infecções e desordens hipertensivas durante a gravidez podem levar ao nascimento prematuro 32 , principal causa de morte neonatal 32,33 .…”

“…Estudos têm mostrado a relação entre a morbidade materna, autorreferida, como doenças hipertensivas, infecções, hemorragias e piores desfechos da gestação, entre os quais, a mortalidade neonatal 11 , fetal 2,12,13 , baixo peso ao nascer 14 e prematuridade 14,15 . Entretanto, como o Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM) e o Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) não permitem a identificação de afecções maternas, é necessário vincular seus dados ao Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS (SIH/SUS) para que seja possível avaliar, por meio de dados secundários, a presença de afecções maternas que podem afetar negativamente os desfechos da gestação.…”

“…The Birth in Brazil study published its first results four years ago in a special thematic issue of Cadernos de Saúde Pública/Reports in Public Health, revealing for the first time an overview of the obstetric and birth care in the country, which is characterized by excessive interventions and even iatrogenic complications for mothers and their infants 1 . The study's findings raised concerns and debates in the academic community, health professionals' associations, social organizations, and in the society at large.…”
