Awareness about a Life-Threatening Condition: Ectopic Pregnancy in a Network for Surveillance of Severe Maternal Morbidity in Brazil

Table 6

Variables independently associated with a worse outcome (MNM + MD) among maternal morbidity cases due to ectopic pregnancy (𝑛=187).

Variable	Coefficient	SE coef.	𝑃	PRadj  (95% CI)
Previous uterine scar	−22.65	0.71	<0.001	<0.01 (<0.01-<0.01)
Skin color (nonwhite)	−1.84	0.87	0.047	0.16 (0.03–0.97)
Constant	−1.74	0.38	<0.001

MNM: maternal near miss; MD: maternal death.
PR_adj: prevalence ratio adjusted for cluster effect and all remaining significant predictive factors.
Multiple Poisson regression, controlled by age (years); marital status (married/cohabitating: 1; others: 0); school education (up to high: 0; superior: 1); skin color (white: 0; nonwhite: 1); BMI (underweight/adequate: 0; overweight/obese: 1); previous abortion (0; ≥1 : 1); previous C-sections (0; ≥1: 1); parity (0; ≥1: 1); previous uterine scar (yes: 1; no: 0); gestational age at resolution (<9 weeks: 0; ≥9: 1); occurrence of substandard care delays (yes: 1; no: 0). Values in bold type indicate statistically significant values.
