ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Congenital anomalies are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among infants. The involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) occurs in 21 percent of cases.

OBJECTIVE:

To identify incidence of CNS malformations and associated factors in newborns at a Terciary Hospital of Porto Alegre.

METHOD:

Case-control study conducted between 2000 and 2005 based on the Latin American Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations database.

RESULTS:

Among 26,588 births registered in this period, 3.67 percent presented with malformations (IC=95 percent; 3.44-3.9), being 0.36 percent of the CNS (IC=95 percent,(0.29-0.43)). The most common CNS malformation was meningomielocele (10.4 percent). Young maternal age (p=0.005); low birth weight (p=0.015); large cephalic perimeter (p=0.003); post term birth (p=0.000) and low APGAR indexes at the 1st and 5th minutes were associated with CNS malformations.

CONCLUSION:

We found an incidence of CNS malformations similar as compared to literature.
RESUMO
Anomalias congênitas são umas das principais causas de morbimortalidade infantil. O sistema nervoso central (SNC) é acometido em 21 por cento dos casos.

OBJETIVO:

Identificar a incidência e fatores associados a malformações do SNC em recém nascidos na maternidade de um hospital terciário de Porto Alegre.

MÉTODO:

Estudo controle realizado de janeiro de 2000 a dezembro de 2005, baseado no banco de dados do Estudo Colaborativo Latino Americano de Malformações Congênitas.

RESULTADOS:

Dos 26.588 nascimentos, 3,67 por cento apresentaram malformação (IC=95 por cento; 3,44-3,9), com 0,36 por cento do SNC (IC=95 por cento, (0,29-0,43)). A malformação do SNC mais comum foi hidrocefalia (10,9 por cento). Menor idade materna (p=0,005); menor peso ao nascimento (p=0,015), maior perímetro cefálico (p=0,003); nascimentos pré-termo (p=0,000) e menores índice APGAR no 1º e 5º minutos (p<0,000) apresentaram associação com malformações do SNC.

CONCLUSÃO:

Foi encontrada incidência similar de malformações do SNC comparada à literatura.
