OBJECTIVE To verify the frequency and factors associated with complications during pregnancy and the association between complications with premature birth and type of delivery in pregnant women aged 35 years or older. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study based on the records of pregnant women admitted between January and July 2012, totalling 430 pregnant women. To identify possible factors associated with complications during pregnancy, data were subjected to univariate analysis using the Poisson regression model. The chi-squared test was used to study the association of complications with premature birth ad type of delivery. RESULTS Complications occurred in 77.7% of the cases. Complications in pregnancy as an explanatory variable for premature birth (p < 0.001) and C-section (p = 0.002) was statistically significant. CONCLUSION The factors younger age, the absence of prenatal care, and the non-occurrence of morbidity prior to gestation were associated with complications in pregnancy.

RESUMO Objetivo Descrever as características sociodemográficas, clínicas e relacionadas à vida sexual e identificar a disfunção sexual em mulheres após o tratamento do câncer do colo do útero. Método Estudo transversal que incluiu mulheres com idade ≥18 anos e conclusão do tratamento de três meses. Foram utilizados dois instrumentos: formulário com informações sociodemográficas, clínicas e relacionadas à vida sexual; e o Índice da Função Sexual Feminina para avaliar a função sexual das participantes sexualmente ativas, sendo valores do escore ≤26 classificados como disfunção sexual. A estatística descritiva foi utilizada para verificar associações através do teste de Mann-Whitney e qui-quadrado de Pearson ou exato de Fisher. Resultados Do total de 46 mulheres, 15 (32,61%) mantiveram relações sexuais após o tratamento e oito tiveram indicativo de disfunção sexual (escore de 21,66; desvio padrão=7,06). Os tipos de tratamento (p=0,03) e de radioterapia (p=0,01), e o estadiamento da doença (p=0,02) interferiram na função sexual. Os domínios do Índice da Função Sexual Feminina mais afetados foram lubrificação (p=0,03) e dor (p=0,04). Conclusão A disfunção sexual esteve presente nas mulheres estudadas com impacto negativo na qualidade de vida.

Objective: Identify the quality of life of women treated for cervical cancer according to their clinical and socioeconomic characteristics. Methods: This was a analytical study on women who were treated for cervical cancer by means of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. To evaluate their quality of life, the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire was applied. The Mann-Whitney test was used to investigate associations between domains and variables. Results: There were associations (p < 0.05) between the WHOQOL-bref domains and the variables of income, conjugal situation, leisure activities and treatment undergone. The physical and psychological domains were associated with overall quality of life (R = 0.54 and R = 0.63, respectively). Conclusions: Socioeconomic conditions and the type of treatment undergone influenced the quality of life of these women after their treatment. There is a need to increase the reach of cervical cancer screening among women who are less economically favored; and, after treatment, to offer alternative measures that soften the secondary effects.
