Resumo

In addition to the common causes of death for both sexes, women are victimized by problems related to sexuality and reproduction. These problems become more severe for teenagers, as they are more likely to die than women greater than 20 years of age by a pregnancy-related, preventable death in most cases. The greater vulnerability of adolescents to these deaths is hinged to the material conditions of life and the rights recommended for this age group over the past decades depends one effective public politics. The aim of this study was to analyze maternal mortality in adolescents, in Goiânia, in the period 2002-2011. It is an observational, descriptive study conducted in the city of Goiânia, Brazil. The population included all maternal deaths of women aged between 10 and 49 years old in the city of Goiânia in the period 2002-2011, data collected from records of the death certificate and tokens Research Women and Maternal Death in the Municipal Health of Goiânia and structured in Microsoft Excel. The results showed no differences between the mortality profile of adolescents and women of all ages. Noteworthy is the proportion of unknown data for almost all variables, however, between the recorded data was prevalent age of 18, black color, low education and direct obstetric causes of maternal deaths. The conclusion from these findings is that age itself does not differ from the profile of maternal mortality among adolescents and women of all ages, but regardless of age where they occur, these deaths are a serious violation of human rights of women to be preventable in 92% of cases, and that the situation of vulnerability of adolescents to be recognized in practice as a condition for any teen is a victim of this type of death.
