Revista Brasileira de Saúde Materno Infantil, Recife, v. 7, n. 3, p. 271-280, set. 2007.1519-3829e- 1806-9304http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/17024Objectives: to investigate factors potentially asso- ciated to cesarean sections and abortions. Methods: data from a cohort study during post- partum were analyzed for 352 women aged 15-45 years old. The following outcomes were studied: cesarean sections and abortions prior to current preg- nancy. Statistical analysis included multivariate logistic regression models with hierarchical approach. Results: c-sections and abortions prevalence were 36.3% and 34.0%, respectively. The final model indi- cated that the following variables remained associa- ted to cesarean sections: level 1: Caucasian white (OR=2.02; 95%CI: 1.29-3.16); level 2: tubal ligation (OR=19.68; 95%CI: 5.77-67.15). The following va- riables remained associated to abortion occurrence: level 1: age >29 years (OR=6.11; 95%CI: 2.94- 12.72); marital status: married (OR=4.22; 95%CI: 2.03-8.78), single (OR=3.70; 95%CI: 1.59-8.61). Conclusions: white Caucasian women and tubal ligation were potentially associated co-variables for cesarean sections performance while marital status and maternal age were associated to abortions, prevalent in women over 29 years oldporAcesso AbertoCesarean sectionBody mass indexAbortionRaceMarital statusCesáreaAbortoÍndice de massa corporalEstado civilRaçaArtigo10.1590/S1519-38292007000300006
