The application of contingency tables to relate variables as maternal factors

Abstract

The objective of this work is to identify the risk of fetal death related to maternal factors of women living in urban and rural areas. The problem lies in the little importance that women take in the different areas (whether urban or rural) of these factors, when determining the cause of death of the organism, because they do not consider it as something influential, which the main consequence is little information on whether or not any of these events was responsible for the death of the organism. In order to solve this problem, certain algorithms are used that help us to correlate these factors by applying contingency tables and chi square, additionally they will be represented in the root cause analysis to facilitate the understanding of these factors. It was determined that one of the main factors that affect the fetus in urban areas, this may be due to environmental pollution in areas with a lot of smoke, which causes hypoxia of the fetus (4.89), unlike in rural areas where the main factor It is the lack of knowledge about pregnancy and the economic scarcity, on the other hand, it is contradictory that urban areas have more prenatal control and medical assistance, however, it is the area with the most deaths with 1558 registered cases.
