ABSTRACT
No início do século 20, as altas taxas de mortalidade materna e infantil estimularam o desenvolvimento de um modelo de atendimento pré-natal que mantivesse características parecidas até os dias atuais. Nesse modelo, haveria maior concentração de visitas durante o final do terceiro trimestre de gestação, devido às maiores taxas de complicações nas fases finais da gestação e à dificuldade de prever a ocorrência de resultados adversos durante o primeiro trimestre. Atualmente, a avaliação clínica durante o primeiro trimestre, com auxílio da ultrassonografia e marcadores bioquímicos, pode prever uma série de complicações que acometem a gestação, incluindo cromossomopatias, pré-eclâmpsia, restrição de crescimento fetal, anomalias fetais e trabalho de parto pré-termo.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the high rates of maternal and infant mortality stimulated the development of a model of prenatal care that maintained similar characteristics until the present day. In this model, there would be a greater concentration of visits during the end of the third trimester of pregnancy, due to the higher rates of complications in the final stages of pregnancy and the difficulty in predicting the occurrence of adverse outcomes during the first trimester. Currently, clinical evaluation during the first trimester, with the aid of ultrasound and biochemical markers, can predict a series of complications that affect pregnancy, including chromosomal disorders, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, fetal anomalies and preterm labor.

Resumen Objetivo Describir las indicaciones, complicaciones y repercusiones de la amniocentesis. Materiales y métodos Estudio descriptivo, observacional y transversal de las amniocentesis efectuadas de 2009 a 2015 en dos unidades de medicina materno fetal de Bogotá, Colombia. Se evaluaron las características de las pacientes, indicación de los procedimientos y las complicaciones. Además, los hallazgos se compararon con reportes de diferentes estudios de la bibliografía internacional. Resultados Se incluyeron 748 amniocentesis. La mediana de edad de las pacientes fue de 29 años (límites 23 y 37). La indicación más común fue el estudio genético en 508 casos (67.9%). Se reportaron 89 (17.5%) casos de cromosomopatías, y de éstas la de mayor frecuencia fue la trisomía 21 en 41 pacientes (46%). La mayor parte de las complicaciones se registró en embarazos que superaron las 20 semanas. La pérdida del embarazo y la amenaza de parto pretérmino atribuibles a la amniocentesis fueron de 0.9 y 2.5%, respectivamente. Conclusión Las características de la amniocentesis permitieron conocer sus repercusiones, complicaciones, tasa de pérdida real o factores asociados, con miras a explorar los factores maternos y fe tales en embarazos únicos y múltiples en dos unidades de Medicina Materno Fetal latinoamericanas.
Abstract Objective The purpose of this paper is to describe the indications, complications and results of amniocentesis performed in two fetal maternal medicine units in Bogota Colombia between 2009 and 2015. Materials and methods Cross-sectional observational descriptive study; 770 amniocentesis performed during 6 years (2009 - 2015) with evaluation of the characteristics of the patients, procedures and complications observed were evaluated. In addition, the findings were compared with reports from different studies of the world literature. Results 748 amniocentesis data were included, statistically analyzing the clinical characteristics of the patients and the results, indications and complications of the procedure. The median age was 29 years (RIQ: 23-37). The most common indication was genetic in 508 cases (67.9%). 89 (17.5%) cases of chromosomopathies were reported, with trisomy 21 being more frequently observed in 41 patients (46%). The loss of pregnancy and the threat of preterm labor attributable to amniocentesis were 0.94% and 2.54%, respectively. Conclusion The characteristics of amniocentesis allow us to know statistics of outcomes, complications, actual loss rate or associated factors, with a view to exploring both maternal and fetal factors in single and multiple pregnancies in two units of Latin American Fetal Maternal Medicine.
ABSTRACT
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo en el Centro de Desarrollo de la Genética del municipio La Lisa, en el período comprendido de enero de 1999 hasta diciembre de 2003. La muestra la conformaron 251 embarazadas con edad materna avanzada (38 años o más) que acudieron a recibir asesoramiento genético por tener riesgo incrementado de cromosomopatías. Los datos fueron procesados con el cálculo porcentual. Se realizaron diagnóstico prenatal (DPN) 189 pacientes (75,29 %), y se obtuvieron 6 casos positivos, 4 síndrome Down (47 XY+21), 1 súper macho (47 XYY), 1 trisomía 18 (47 XY+18) y 15 casos sin resultados. No se realizaron el diagnóstico prenatal 62 pacientes, 12 por amenaza de aborto, 25 por edad gestacional avanzada, 25 por negarse a la realización del proceder y 3 por otras causas. El asesoramiento genético fue no directivo, respetando las decisiones personales, confiabilidad, exponiendo la relación riesgo / beneficio y obteniendo el consentimiento informado para su realización.
A descriptive study was conducted in the Center of Genetic Development in La Lisa municipality from January 1999 to December 2003. The sample was composed of 251 pregnant women with advanced maternal age (38 or over) that seeked genetic counselling for having increased risk of chromosomopathies. The data were processed by the percentage calculation. 189 patients (75.29 %) were prenatally diagnosed (PND). 6 cases were positive, 4 Down's syndrome (47 XY+ 21), 1 super male (47 XYY), 1 trisomy 18 (47 XY + 18) and 15 cases without results. The prenatal diagnosis was not made in 62 patients, 12 due to threatened abortion, 25 due to advanced gestational age, 25 rejected the procedure and 3 for other causes. The genetic counseling was not directive. It respected the personal decisions and it was also reliable, presented the risk-benefit relation and required the informed consent.
