Abstract

Objective: This study evaluated the maternal deaths due to hypertensive disorders in Brazil from 2012 until 2023.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study including public data from Brazilian Ministry of Health, including age group, self-reported skin color, and geographical region. The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) was calculated for each year and for the entire period; we estimated the prevalence ratio (PR), confidence interval (CI) and trend (R2) of MMR according to the variables included.

Results: We analyzed 3,721 deaths attributed to complications of hypertension (MMR = 11.01/100,000 live births; R2 = 0.03). Those deaths were most prevalent among women aged 30 and older (PR 1.73, CI 1.61-1.85), especially those over 40 (PR 3.77, CI 3.34-4.25). Black (PR 2.75, CI 2.46-3.06), mixed-race (Pardo) (PR 1.27, CI 1.18-1.37), and Indigenous (PR 2.28, CI 1.76-2.97) women had significantly higher MMRs compared to White women. Central-West (PR 1.30, CI 1.13-1.46), North (PR 1.92, CI 1.74-2.13), and Northeast (PR 1.82, CI 1.68-1.97) regions had the highest maternal mortality rates due to hypertension. MMR due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in Brazil remained stable.

Conclusion: Women at higher risk of dying were older, Black, Indigenous, Pardo, and lived in the Central-West, North, and Northeast regions of the country.

2012年至2023年巴西妊娠期高血压疾病导致的孕产妇死亡：一项基于人口的横断面研究。

目的：本研究评估2012年至2023年巴西因高血压疾病导致的孕产妇死亡。方法：我们进行了一项横断面研究，包括巴西卫生部的公共数据，包括年龄组、自我报告的肤色和地理区域。孕产妇死亡率（MMR）是按每年和整个期间计算的；我们根据纳入的变量估计MMR的患病率（PR）、置信区间（CI）和趋势（R2）。结果：我们分析了3721例高血压并发症导致的死亡(MMR = 11.01/100,000活产；r2 = 0.03)。这些死亡在30岁及以上的妇女中最为普遍（相对危险度1.73，可信区间1.61-1.85），尤其是40岁以上的妇女（相对危险度3.77，可信区间3.34-4.25）。黑人（PR 2.75, CI 2.46-3.06）、混血（Pardo）（PR 1.27, CI 1.18-1.37）和土著（PR 2.28, CI 1.76-2.97）女性的mmr显著高于白人女性。中西部（相对危险度1.30,CI 1.13-1.46）、北部（相对危险度1.92,CI 1.74-2.13）和东北部（相对危险度1.82,CI 1.68-1.97）地区因高血压导致的孕产妇死亡率最高。在巴西，妊娠期高血压疾病引起的产妇死亡率保持稳定。结论：死亡风险较高的妇女是年龄较大、黑人、土著、帕尔多人，并且生活在该国的中西部、北部和东北部地区。
