Abstract
Objective: to analyze predictors of inadequacy of prenatal care among postpartum women in a maternity hospital in Brazil.
Methods: cross-sectional study conducted from March 2020 to January 2021 with postpartum women from a maternity hospital in Brazil. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-squared test and Poisson regression. All variables with p-values less than 0.2 were included in the regression model.
Results: of the 300 postpartum women, 223 (74.3%) had inadequate prenatal tests, with a higher percentage of inadequate urine tests. The Poisson regression model showed an association between being from the capital city and having more than seven prenatal visits, with a protective effect, RP 0.83 and 0.82, respectively.
Conclusion: access to prenatal care must be ensured for all women in order to improve the performance of tests, early detection of anomalies and treatment of pregnant women, thereby contributing to reducing maternal and neonatal morbimortality.
