Seg\u00fan los Centros de Control y Prevenci\u00f3n de Enfermedades de Estados Unidos, esta tendencia ha ido en aumento entre 2018 y 2022, afectando a todos los grupos de edad menores de 40 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de una d\u00e9cada de estabilidad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aunque el informe no proporciona una explicaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica, expertos m\u00e9dicos en Puerto Rico sugieren diversas razones, incluido el deterioro del sistema de salud en la isla. La falta de personal y recursos econ\u00f3micos en los hospitales podr\u00eda estar llevando a los ginec\u00f3logos a optar por programar ces\u00e1reas para garantizar la disponibilidad de personal m\u00e9dico necesario durante el parto.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEn general, los hospitales tienen poco personal y pocos recursos econ\u00f3micos\u201d, dijo el doctor Carlos D\u00edaz V\u00e9lez, presidente de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Cirujanos de Puerto Rico. \u201cPrefiere que sea organizado a que sea improvisado\u201d, explic\u00f3. \u201cPor ese lado, garantiza seguridad\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El cierre de m\u00e1s de una docena de paritorios en la \u00faltima d\u00e9cada y la reducci\u00f3n r\u00e9cord de la natalidad, con apenas 17.772 nacimientos reportados el a\u00f1o pasado, tambi\u00e9n contribuyen a este fen\u00f3meno. Demandas previas contra ginec\u00f3logos, algunas consideradas \u00abfr\u00edvolas\u00bb, han llevado a un aumento en la programaci\u00f3n de ces\u00e1reas para reducir los riesgos legales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otros factores mencionados incluyen la preferencia de las mujeres por ces\u00e1reas por motivos est\u00e9ticos o para evitar el dolor, especialmente dado que las compa\u00f1\u00edas de seguros en Puerto Rico a menudo no cubren la epidural. La falta de formaci\u00f3n en el uso de f\u00f3rceps o ventosas para m\u00e9dicos reci\u00e9n incorporados y el aumento de tratamientos de fecundaci\u00f3n in vitro que resultan en embarazos gemelares tambi\u00e9n contribuyen al incremento de ces\u00e1reas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pesar de la recomendaci\u00f3n de la Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS) de mantener las tasas de ces\u00e1reas entre el 10% y el 15%, Puerto Rico supera significativamente esta cifra. La OMS destaca que las ces\u00e1reas, aunque seguras, conllevan riesgos y pueden afectar a embarazos futuros o poner en peligro la vida en lugares con recursos limitados.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPara un m\u00e9dico en Puerto Rico es mejor hacer una ces\u00e1rea que paga m\u00e1s, que lo tiene a tiempo, que tiene menos riesgo a litigaci\u00f3n y la mam\u00e1 sale m\u00e1s contenta\u201d se\u00f1al\u00f3 la doctora Anette P\u00e9rez-Delboy, especialista materno-fetal.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La preocupaci\u00f3n por este aumento continuo de las tasas de ces\u00e1reas en Puerto Rico se suma a la creciente tendencia en Estados Unidos en su conjunto, donde, tras un declive entre 2009 y 2019, la tasa volvi\u00f3 a aumentar, representando el 32,2% de los nacimientos en 2022.
