ABSTRACT

Introduction: Long pregnancy is an obstetric entity that tensions the mother and the family, due to the high incidence of morbidity and mortality in the binomial mother-fetus.
Objective: to assess the behavior of post-term pregnancy and its association with several maternal factors.
Material and method: a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional and analytical research was performed in Abel Santamaría General Teaching Hospital of Pinar del Río in the second semester of 2013. The target group consisted of the totality of pregnant women admitted in the mentioned period, while the sample consisted of all the patients with long pregnancy (study group) and the control group consisted of patients with pregnancy between 38 and 41 weeks. For the statistical analysis of the results, percentage, mean and standard deviation were applied, as well as the chi-square test with a level of confidence of 95% for association. The reason of crossed products was also used.
Results: as produced, long or post-term pregnancy had an incidence of 1.82%, with a rate of 18.2 per every thousand born alive. This kind of gestation was associated with adolescence and oligohydramnios as a common illness in that period. However, the facts were not related with parity or other pregnancy-related illnesses.
Conclusions: long pregnancy is an entity that should be taken into account before the onset of adverse events during gestation.
