ABSTRACT
Objective: to characterize sociodemographic, obstetric factors and obstetric interoccurences of mothers of late premature infants by maternal age groups. Method: a descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study of a quantitative approach performed in a university hospital with 288 women and their 318 late premature infants, with 34 to 36 weeks and six days of gestational age, born in 2013. Data was collected in electronic medical records and a descriptive statistical analysis of the data was carried out. Results: particularities were found regarding prenatal care, substance use during pregnancy, obstetric complications, type of pregnancy, delivery route and weight of newborns in the studied groups. Conclusion: regarding the characterization of women, the following stand out: public service, less than eight years of study and gestational intercurrences. The most frequent complications in late prematurity can be minimized. Thus, prenatal care should be directed to the needs of the maternal age group. Descriptors: Infant, Premature; Prenatal Care; Pregnancy, High-Risk.
