Results: The frequency of the referred women was 34, 6%. The average age of the referred women was 25 ± 5, 7 years old with extremes from 15 years to 44 years. The preparation of the reference was poor quality in 37, 3% of the cases. An index card of standardized reference was used only in 57, 3%. Transporting patients of the periphery in the center of reference was poor quality in 70% of the cases. The transport was made by a way other than an ambulance in 69,6% of the cases. The woman was accompanied by an agent of health in 15% of the cases. The venous access was taken in 75.4% of cases. The CHD/B was alerted before the reference only in 7,3% of the cases. 80% of the maternal deaths arose among the women referred to the sanitary trainings for an obstetric urgency.

Conclusion: The quality of the preparation significantly influence maternal prognosis. This raises the need for an evaluation and revitalization of our reference systems
