“…Já as complicações pós-aborto compareceram em pequeno percentual, 5% a 15% na maioria dos estudos, diferentemente de outros países da América Latina, como Uruguai e Argentina, onde podem chegar a 25% 64,73 . No entanto, é possível se pensar em uma subestimativa dos dados, por questões legais e culturais que permeiam o aborto no país.…”

O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever o perfil epidemiológico e a tendência da mortalidade materna no Brasil, por meio de revisão de estudos sobre o tema. Foi realizada busca eletrônica de artigos científicos publicados entre 1980 e 2010, nas bases de dados LILACS e MEDLINE. Identificaram-se inicialmente 486 artigos. Após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão restaram 50 artigos. A comparação dos dados mostrou queda da RMM de forma diferenciada nas regiões brasileiras. Os estudos sobre determinação do óbito materno apontaram desigualdades sociais relacionadas à cor da pele e escolaridade. O preenchimento incompleto da declaração de óbito e a subnotificação ainda persistem. Prevaleceram as causas obstétricas diretas, com predomínio das doenças hipertensivas. Quando analisada, a evitabilidade apontou falhas na assistência pré-natal e ao parto. Apesar de sua relevância, são poucos os artigos sobre mortalidade materna no Brasil. A RMM, embora em declínio, permanece em níveis elevados. Melhorias na qualidade da assistência pré-natal e ao parto são necessárias.

“…No maternal death due to abortion was registered in the university hospital during the project period compared with an average of 4 deaths a year during the preceding 3 years. The number of cases of postabortion sepsis, which had been registered at 10 per year between 2001 and 2003, decreased to only 2 in 2004, none occurring among the women participating in the program [11].…”

The International Congress on Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action urged governments and intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations to reduce women's recourse to abortion through improved family planning services; reliable information and counseling should be readily accessible to women who have unwanted pregnancies; where abortion is legal, it should be safe; and in all cases, quality services for management of abortion complications should be accessible. Review of the extent to which these recommendations have been implemented over the last 15 years shows that, with few exceptions, little attention has been given to this serious problem. Because of its political and religious implications, abortion is mostly ignored. Those with the power to promote change have an obligation to raise the issue of abortion from the darkness in which it is currently hidden, and bring it into the public light as a human drama and a health problem that is not difficult to solve if the ICPD recommendations are taken seriously.

“…Iniciativas Sanitarias was founded in 2001 by a group of health professionals seeking to address high levels of maternal mortality related to unsafe abortion in the country (Briozzo et al 2006). Most induced abortions in Uruguay occur in clandestine circumstances given the restrictive legislation that 77 A Rights-based Model: Perspectives from Health Service Providers criminalises abortion.…”

“…If she does decide to voluntarily interrupt her pregnancy, a trained multidisciplinary team provides comprehensive services and counselling, including information on the risks associated with the different means used to induce abortion, from the most unsafe practices (such as insertion of hangers or other sharp objects) to safer methods (such as the use of misoprostol); the team also provides medical examinations and psychological and legal assistance. Services after the abortion include contraceptive counselling, preventative measures against complications and other services as needed (Briozzo 2007;Briozzo et al 2006).…”
