  METHODS
  A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive survey, was done based on a convenience obtained survey in patients. Percentages and contingency tables were used for each variable; calculating the prevailing global prevalence and that of exposed and unexposed to the risk factor studied. Odds ratio was used to evaluate the above, we use the test of Mantel and Heanzel ji; the result was compared to 1.96 with a confidence interval of 95%.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were included 364 patients in wich the main causes of mortality were bleeding in the first quarter 45% (n=164) hypertensive disorders 40% of cases (n=146). Risk factors with a significant association (p < 0.05) were for preeclampsia: to be primiparous whit a PR of 1.56, FEp 19.6% and 35% FEe; maternal age < 20 and > 35 years old RP 1.11; Fee Fee 4.3% and 48%; and for abortion parity ≥4 with RP 1.42, FEP 7.2% fee 29%.
