ABSTRACT
Objective: to analyze the sociodemographic and clinical profile of women admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. Method: cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, performed in a reference public maternity of Teresina-PI, with 139 patients. Data collection was performed by means of a form and the data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: most women were admitted in the postpartum (69.8%); aged 21-30 years (49.6%); predominating the brown color (60.4%); from inner cities in the state (47.5%); with family income of one minimum wage (66,95); 38.8% have only incomplete elementary school; 42.2% attended less than six consultations in prenatal care, the predominant disease at admission was GHS (43.9%); 3.6% of patients died. Conclusion: the results showed participants were mostly young adults, with a relatively low level of education and family income, and one may relate those data with the low frequency of prenatal consultations that can justify the presence of pre and postpartum complications. Descriptors: Intensive Care Units; High-Risk Pregnancy; Epidemiology.
