Introduction: Obstetric morbidity and maternal mortality are defined as the probability that a woman who has been or is pregnant will become ill or die, as the case may be, regardless of the site or duration of pregnancy.
Objective: To determine the risk factors associated with pregnancy that contribute to the development of critical maternal morbidity.
Methods: An observational, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out in Cacocum municipality, Holguin, from January 1, 2019 to August 31, 2023. The universe consisted of all patients (n = 11) who presented critical maternal morbidity. The variables studied were maternal condition, year of study, morbidity presented, socioeconomic risk factors and obstetric risk factors.
Results: There was an average of 2 critical maternal morbidities per year, in addition to a predominance of pregnant women with respect to postpartum women. The morbidity with the highest incidence was complicated preeclampsia. The socioeconomic risk factor that predominated was the occupation of housewife and the obstetric risk factor with the highest relationship with pregnancy was prenatal controls under 10.
Conclusions: Complicated preeclampsia and the number of prenatal controls under 10 were the factors most associated with pregnancy in the development of critical maternal morbidity.
