“…The concept of SMM is relatively new in medicine; however, the data obtained from studying patients with SMM are more efficient than data obtained from the causes of maternal deaths when identifying failures and defining priorities in maternal healthcare [3,4].…”

“…The Brazilian government and the international community therefore need to maximize efforts to improve maternal health indexes and thereby avoid a greater number of fatalities in the country 4 . Data collected on severe maternal morbidity has been considered potentially useful for the improvement of obstetric care, principally by enabling planners and health service administrators to set prio rities 5,6 . However, in Brasil, the magnitude and the characteristics of severe maternal morbidity have only recently begun to receive more specific attention, albeit the potential of this subject as basis for the development of public policies remains to be evaluated.…”

Demographic health surveys may constitute a valuable source of information on maternal morbidity, particularly in locations where an integrated system of epidemiological surveillance with wide geographic coverage has not yet been developed. METHODS. This study analyzed the database obtained from a national Demographic Health Survey carried out in Brasil in 1996. Data regarding how the survey was conducted, characteristics of the women interviewed who had given birth to live infants in the five preceding years, characteristics of the obstetrical care received and complications reported were evaluated. RESULTS.Responses from a weighted total of 3,635 women were analyzed. Statistically significant differences (p<0.001) were found between geographic domains for most characteristics studied. Deliveries were predominantly hospital-based throughout the whole country. Prevalence of self-reported maternal morbidity ranged from 15.5-22.9% in the various geographic domains analyzed. This geographic factor was found to be associated to differences in the occurrence of complications, generally and specifically, for cases of prolonged labour . CONCLUSIONS. Differences in morbidity may reflect the intricate relationship between determinants of human development and maternal health conditions.
