The aim of this paper is to describe the profile of maternal mortality of COVID-19 in the state of Ceará, Brazil, in the period 2020. Ecological, exploratory, cross-sectional study, with secondary data from the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System, were made available by the Obstetric Observatory Brazilian COVID-19. A total of 485 pregnant and postpartum women were included, and the analysis considered the notifications from the year 2020. The variables of interest and the outcome (death/cure by COVID-19) were analyzed in a descriptive way. Most pregnant and postpartum women were between 20 and 35 years old, brown/white skin color and residing in an urban area. The proportion of deaths was 5.8% in the year 2020. In that period, the rates of hospitalization in the ward increased by 95.5%, 12.6% of hospitalization in the Unit of Intensive Care (ICU), and 7.2% needed invasive ventilatory support. Maternal mortality from COVID-19 suggests an emergency in terms of the development of health actions and policies due to the aggravation and risks due to this disease.
本文旨在描述巴西塞阿拉州 2020 年期间 COVID-19 产妇死亡率的特征。这是一项生态、探索性、横断面研究，使用了巴西 COVID-19 产科观察站提供的流感流行病学监测信息系统的二级数据。共纳入 485 名孕妇和产后妇女，分析考虑了 2020 年的报告。对感兴趣的变量和结果（COVID-19 死亡/治愈）进行了描述性分析。大多数孕妇和产后妇女年龄在 20 至 35 岁之间，皮肤颜色为棕色/白色，居住在城市地区。2020 年的死亡率为 5.8%。在此期间，病房住院率增加了 95.5%，重症监护病房（ICU）住院率增加了 12.6%，7.2%需要有创性通气支持。COVID-19 导致的孕产妇死亡表明，由于这种疾病的加重和风险，在制定卫生行动和政策方面存在紧急情况。
