Abstract
Introduction: the prevention of puerperal infection is a social requirement. Objective: to specify the association between rupture of ovular membranes, cervicovaginal infection and chorioamnionitis and the presentation of puerperal infection in puerperal women attended in the Obstetrics Service of the Hospital Dr. Agostinho Neto during the years 2016-2018. Method: a study was conducted of cases and controls. The universe was formed by all puerperal puerperal infections (n=622), and of the latter a sample was selected for convenience of 60 patients, which constituted the group of cases; a group of patients without puerperal infection (n=120) who formed the control group was chosen. The following variables were studied: age in years, time of rupture of ovular membranes, diagnosis of cervicovaginal infection and chorioamnionitis and birth pathway. Results: ages between 20 and 29 years predominated in cases (41.7%) and controls (48.3%). There was statistically significant evidence, with a reliability of 95%, that the rupture of membranes over 24 hours, cervicovaginal infection and chorioamnionitis were risk factors for puerperal infection. The vaginal route predominated in the cases (60%) and controls (61.7%), which was not statistically significant associated with puerperal infection. Conclusions: puerperal women with ruptured ovular membranes over 24 hours, cervicovaginal infection and chorioamnionitis presented a higher risk of puerperal infection.
