Statistical analysis used frequencies, means, and standard deviations. Association between Apgar and good obstetric practices was analyzed using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests.
Results:
a total of 1,503 women were included. The variables referral hospital, skin-to-skin contact, and presence of a companion had positive outcomes on Apgar scores.
Conclusions:
despite the adversities of the pandemic, some good practices were maintained, and Apgar score was positive. However, the continued need for coordination between managers and professionals, and public policies to ensure perinatal care quality in the state is highlighted.
