Comparison of prenatal care coverage in early adolescents, late adolescents, and adult pregnant women in the Peruvian Amazon

Abstract: All women attended prenatal care more frequently than the WHO's recommended 4 visits; however, early adolescents attended significantly less often than late adolescents or adult women. Further study of this inequality is warranted to adequately inform local health services.

“…However, for various reasons, the availability, accessibility, and utilization of prenatal care services may be less than optimal. In order to best inform prenatal care services in the Amazon region of Peru, where poverty remains high, we sought to identify risk factors associated with stillbirth in women delivering at the Hospital Iquitos "César Garayar Garcia" in Iquitos, the capital city of Loreto.Data were obtained from a cohort study of birth outcomes, where a random sample of mother-baby medical records had been drawn from the hospital birth registry [4]. Demographic information, admission diagnosis, observations during delivery, and discharge diagnosis were abstracted.…”

“…Nuestros hallazgos identifican a las mujeres adolescentes como un grupo expuesto a inequidades en educación y en seguridad social en salud, tal como ha sido descrito por otros autores (25)(26)(27); y son estas barreras entre otras, las que hacen que las gestantes adolescentes no hagan un adecuado control prenatal o definitivamente no asistan. Nuestro estudio identificó que nuestras adolescentes gestantes ingresan más tardíamente al CPN, teniendo a su vez una menor número de visitas.…”
