OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for preeclampsia in Peruvían women. Design: Prospective case control clinical study. SETTING: Materno Perinatal Institute and Dos de Mayo Hospital between August 1997 and January 1998. MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred eighty-seven preeclampsic women were compared with 193 normotensive pregnant women. Cases were matched to controls regarding Inaternal age and gestational age. Potential associated factors were analyzed using univariated analysis and then logistic regression to adjust to confounders. RESULTS: Pre eclampsia was associated to primiparity but only by univaried analysis (OR. 1,86, IC95: 1,2-3,0). History of a previous pregnancy complicated with preeclampsia was the main risk factor associated to preeclampsia (OR: 9,7. IC95%: 3,4-27,3). Obesity was marginally associated to preeclampsia (OR: 2,1. IC95%: 0,8-5,4) and there was a marginally sig...

Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a global public health concern with potential implications for the health of a mother and her offspring. However, data on the prevalence and risk factors of GDM in Latin America are scarce. The study was designed to estimate the prevalence of GDM and identify maternal risk factors among Peruvian women. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1300 pregnant women attending a prenatal clinic in Lima, Peru. GDM was diagnosed using an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) performed between 24 and 28 gestational weeks using the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria. Depression status was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors of GDM. Results Approximately 16% of pregnant women were diagnosed with GDM. The ...

The authors present a collaborative study that prospectively has engaged 14 maternity hospitals in the public sector, 10 from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and 4 of the Peruvian Institute of Social Security (IPSS); Likewise 9 corresponded to Lima and 5 establishments were in other regions. Between March and July 1993 he managed to gather a total of 4205 cases of cesarean births attended between 21797 during the same period, representing a rate of 19.3%. There was no major difference in the rate between hospitals in Lima and provinces, but if a higher frequency was found in IPSS when compared with the MOH. The six most important causes of cesarean in Peru are: previous cesareada, acute fetal distress, breech birth, narrow pelvis, fetopelvic disproportion and toxemia, which remain more or less the same distribution between the MOH and IPSS. Some other epidemiological characteristics differ ...
