To obtain and evaluate information on perinatal care in Galicia (Spain).
We performed a descriptive, retrospective, multicenter study. All centers in Galicia involved in deliveries were requested to collaborate in the perinatal database for 2010 and 2011.
We performed a statistical, epidemiological study of 29,254 births in our region in the 2-year period from 2010 to 2011, representing 67.2% of all births in Galicia in this period.
The following variables were analyzed: maternal age, fetal statics, amenorrhea at delivery, type of delivery, indications for cesarean section, and perinatal and maternal mortality.
