Abstract
Objectives: To verify the evolution of cesarean in Vale do Paraíba from 2001 to 2015 and to analyze displacement of live births by cesarean and its
spatial distribution in the region (2013-2015). Methodology: Descriptive observational study based on microdata. The proportions of cesareans were compared and to analyze displacement, data from mothers residing in the Region were tabulated and the municipality of residence and occurrence. Results: The proportion of cesarean section increased from 50.1% in 2001 to 63.5% in 2015, however, there is a slight decrease in the last biennium (2014-2015). It was observed heterogeneous proportion of cesarean sections among the municipalities and almost all had increase in the three-year average. Of the live births by cesarean section in 2013-2015, 20.8% occurred in different municipalities from that of the mother’s residence. Displacement rates ranged from 2.4% to 100.0% and displacement occurred from municipalities with a smaller population to more populous. Discussion: Worldwide, Brazil is the leader in cesarean sections. The region has a higher proportion than Brazil’s and has shown increase in period of study. In order to reduce the displacement of mothers to other municipalities, the obstetric care network should offer childbirth care services in the mothers’ municipality of residence. Conclusions: The Region presents a heterogeneous distribution of the proportion of cesareans. Despite the increase in the period, there is a slight decrease in the last biennium. Displacement of live births by cesarean section occurs between the municipalities of the Region from smaller to more populous.
