Abstract

Objective. To identify sociodemographic and health factors among those who required benefits associated with the voluntary termination of pregnancy (IVE). Materials and methods. Retrospective cross-sectional design from official records by health centers between 2018-2020. Analysis with descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression models. Results. Association between IVE and cause of rape vs. the risk of the life of the woman (aPR [adjusted prevalence ratio]=1.16 [95%CI: 1.11,1.21]); Fonasa level A (Fondo Nacional de Salud) (aPR=0.79 [95%CI: 0.67,0.93]), B (aPR= 0.79 [95%CI: 0.67,0.93]) and C vs. Isapre (Institucion de Salud Previsional) (aPR= 0.73 [95%CI: 0.58,0.93]).As the level of care increases, from primary to tertiary level, the probability of terminating the pregnancy would increase (aOR [adjusted odds ratio]= 0.59 [95%CI: 0.36,0.99]; aOR= 0.58 [95%CI: 0.35,0.96]). Conclusion. National IVE estimates are provided. It highlights that different socio-sanitary determinants are essential to consider promoting guidelines and health policies to promote sexual and reproductive rights and reproductive autonomy.
