Avaliação da qualidade da assistência hospitalar obstétrica: uso de corticóides no trabalho de parto prematuro Assessment of quality of obstetric care and corticoid use in preterm labor

Abstract

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a qualidade da assistência ao trabalho de parto prematuro, utilizando referentes, indicadores e padrões derivados de evidências científicas - ensaios clínicos controlados e meta-análises -, tomando como caso a corticoterapia anteparto. Foram analisados dados de sumários de alta relativos a sete maternidades públicas do Rio de Janeiro. O padrão utilizado para a análise de processo foi de 100%. Não foi possível estimar padrões de resultado - incidência esperada de síndrome de angústia respiratória e mortalidade neonatal - para os referentes previstos, em razão da impossibilidade de ajustar os resultados para idade gestacional, poderoso fator interveniente. A utilização da corticoterapia antenatal pelos serviços analisados foi irrisória, cerca de 4% e 2%, para os referentes relativos a pacientes com menos de 34 semanas e com até 36 semanas de idade gestacional, respectivamente. A falha no uso da corticoterapia antenatal quando indicada merece a atenção de planejadores e gestores do setor, tendo em vista a fácil incorporação de tal tecnologia, bem como os benefícios e os custos desta, em comparação com aqueles associados à assistência neonatal a bebês prematuros.This study aimed to assess quality of obstetric care for preterm labor patients, using referents, indicators, and standards derived from scientific evidence, focusing on antenatal corticotherapy. Available metanalyses and randomized controlled trials were examined to establish referents, defining indicators and estimating process and outcome standards for the present study. Data from hospital discharge summaries of seven public maternity hospitals in Rio de Janeiro were analyzed. The standard of process used was 100%. It was not possible to estimate outcome standards, since the necessary adjustment for gestational age was not feasible. Utilization of antenatal corticotherapy in the present study was very low, about 4% and 2%, considering patients up to 33 weeks and 6 days and 36 weeks and 6 days, respectively. Failure to use antenatal corticotherapy when formally indicated deserves attention by health planners and managers, considering: a) the ease in incorporating such a technology, in contrast to the adequate incorporation of special/intensive neonatal care; b) benefits and costs associated with this technology compared to those of delivering neonatal care to premature babies.
