Title

Epidemiological analysis of the occurrence of spontaneous abortion in the five regions of Brazil between 2011 and 2021

Objective

To comparatively analyze the occurrence of spontaneous abortion in the five regions of Brazil between 2011 and 2021.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study, obtained through data collected from the records of the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) and the Mortality Information System (SIM), in the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), from 2011 to 2021. Comparative data were analyzed in the five regions of the country in number of hospitalizations, ethnicity, age group and deaths to show the epidemiological profile of the occurrence of spontaneous abortion in Brazil between 2011 and 2021.

Results

In the space analyzed, 763,884 cases of hospitalizations due to spontaneous abortion were reported, according to SIH/SUS/DATASUS. The Southeast region had the highest prevalence with 279,106 (36.54%) of the cases, followed by the Northeast region with 273,395 (35.79%). Regarding ethnicity, brown predominated with 488,123 (63.62%), the majority in the Northeast region with 235,865 (48.32%), following a similar attitude in the mentioned data. With regard to age group, it was noted the prevalence of occurrence in the age group of 20 to 29 years, with 341,377 (44.49%) of the cases being registered, and these occurred, in short, in the Southeast and Northeast regions, with the same number of cases 122,448 (35.87%) each. Finally, of the registered cases, 154 (0.02%) died. Thus, such data corroborate the literature, which addresses that the most fertile decade for women is between 20 and 30 years.

Conclusion

It was observed that the Southeast region concentrates the highest occurrence of spontaneous abortion, however, when analyzing the ethnicity, the Northeast region stands out with the brown ethnicity, in relation to the age group, it behaves similar to the studies scientific studies on female fertility, as it showed that the occurrence of cases was accentuated in the 20 to 29 age group. Thus, the strengthening of preventive policies, based on the needs of each region, is crucial for the construction of public health policies, together with Primary Care Health teams, with the aim of reducing the risk factors that corroborate with the morbidity and mortality from spontaneous abortion.
