Obstetric data revealed bond to the Family Health Team (82.1%), prenatal consultations with more than 5 (51.8%), and only 25% directed to high-risk prenatal care. 80% delivery occurred in maternity, 48.2% caesarean section. The deaths occurred in hospital (76.8%), postpartum period (69.7%), the main causes of hypertension (16.1%) and infections (16.1%) and emboli (14.3 %), characterizing deaths from direct obstetric causes (58.3%) and preventable by appropriate action to prevent, control and attention to the causes of maternal death (73.2%).
