Objective: To estimate the induced abortion and assess its trend in the state of Piauí state and its development territories (DTs) in the period 2000-2010. Methods: We conducted an ecological time-series study using secondary data from hospital admissions for abortion complications in the period from February to June 2014. Induced abortions was estimated using the Guttmacher Institute methodology. The Joinpoint method was used to identify significant changes in trends. Results: 55,678 admissions for abortion were analyzed; there was a 35% decrease between 2000 and 2010. The number of induced abortions decreased from 10,362 in 2000 to 6,738 in 2010. There was a statistically significant upward trend in abortion ratios in DTs 1 and 7 as well as a significant downward trend in DT 4. The other DTs presented stable trends of abortion ratio. Conclusion: Postabortion hospitalization rate and estimates of induced abortion were high in the state of Piauí, with a downward trend of induced abortion ratio for the study period.Downloads
