Objetivo: compreender a influência da pandemia de COVID-19 nos aspectos da qualidade da assistência prestada às mulheres em situação de abortamento nos centros sentinela da Rede CLAP-MUSA, uma rede multicêntrica com cooperação internacional visando encorajar boas práticas na América Latina e no Caribe. Metodologia: estudo transversal entre janeiro/2017 e dezembro/2021 com mulheres de qualquer idade admitidas por abortamentos espontâneos ou induzidos. Analisamos o número total de casos e a proporção de abortos legais. As variáveis dependentes foram complicações e uso de anticoncepcionais após o aborto. As variáveis independentes foram a pandemia de COVID-19, dados clínicos e sociodemográficos. A análise estatística foi realizada por meio de regressão linear, regressão múltipla de Poisson, testes de Cochran-Armitage, qui-quadrado, Mann-Whitney e Cohen. Resultados: foram analisados dados de 93.689 mulheres, atendidas em 12 centros sentinelas da Rede CLAP-MUSA, 64,55% no período pré-pandêmico (NP) e 35,45% no período pandêmico (PP) (22,73% receberam atendimento pós-aborto e 77,27%, aborto legal). Não encontramos diferenças no número de casos ao longo do período, independentemente do contexto legal. Observamos um aumento significativo na proporção de abortos legais em contextos liberais e moderados. No NP, 46,46% das mulheres realizaram aborto medicamentoso, enquanto 62,18% das mulheres realizaram aborto medicamentoso no PP (h-Cohen 0,32). Não encontramos aumento no número de complicações durante o PP. No NP, 79,12% iniciaram anticoncepcionais após o aborto, enquanto no PP, 70,39% iniciaram anticoncepcionais após o aborto (h-Cohen 0,20). Conclusão: a pandemia de COVID-19 não se associou à diminuição do número de casos, à diminuição da proporção de interrupções legais ou ao aumento de complicações nos centros sentinelas da Rede CLAP-MUSA.
