Abstract

Introduction: Preconception risk is the probability that a non-pregnant woman will suffer harm during the reproductive process. The maternal and perinatal mortality rate reflects the implicit morbidity, the environment and quality of life of the woman. Objective: Identify preconception risk factors in a sample of medical students. Methodology: An observational, prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out on 185 medical students from the Universidad Veracruzana. The questionnaire of the first section of the risk traffic light System for Detection and Evaluation of Perinatal Risk (PREVIGEN-1) was applied; the Maternal and Child Research Center Gen. (CIMIGen) developed this tool. Which consists of 40 questions sent by Google Forms. The responses were evaluated according to colors: Level I Green: low risk; Level II Yellow: medium risk; and Level III Red: high risk. Results: The age of 21.4±3.1 years. The marital status of 179 corresponds to single (97%), 3 are married (2%) and 3 are in a common law union (2%). 6 have a history of pregnancy (3%). The association of marital status and pregnancy was r = 0.65, we found a high relationship as an associated risk. According to the PREVIGEN-1 risk traffic light, 147 participants (79.45%) are at medium risk for 32 (17.29%), and 6 (3.24%) are at high risk. Conclusion: PREVIGEN-1 is a tool that measures preconception risk and allows determining and evaluating the woman's health status to consider a satisfactory pregnancy.
