摘要:Objective: The aim of this article was to analyze the cases of high-risk pregnancies and their complications, in addition to emphasizing the importance of prenatal care and highlighting the main risk diagnoses prevalent in a Basic Health Unit (UBS) in a municipality in the state of Maranho. Materials and method: This is a quantitative, descriptive study, developed in a UBS in the municipality of Timon, Maranho, Brazil. Data were collected from October to November 2019, through the analysis of the medical records of 20 pregnant women. To obtain them, a collection instrument developed by the researchers exclusively for this study was applied. The analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The most frequent type of diagnosis among high-risk pregnancies was Systemic Arterial Hypertension (95,80%). It was found that pregnant women with high blood pressure are four times more likely to develop obstetric complications throughout pregnancy, culminating in cesarean delivery. Conclusions: it is concluded that the need to expand studies that give more consistency to management decisions involving the nursing professional, the health service and the health of women and children is relevant.
