RESUMEN
Se efectuó un estudio de casos y controles de 210 puérperas cuyos hijos nacieron pesando menos de 2 500 gramos (grupo de estudio) en el Hospital General Docente "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" de Santiago de Cuba, durante el 2008, para identificar los factores de riesgo asociados al bajo peso al nacer. Los tomados como controles se escogieron a partir de un muestreo aleatorio sistemático por orden de consecutividad en dicho período. Entre los factores de riesgo causantes de ese déficit ponderal figuraron: procedencia rural, ganancia insuficiente de peso materno, período intergenésico menor de 2 años, hipertensión inducida por el embarazo y edad gestacional por debajo de 37 semanas. Las afecciones respiratorias y las infecciones vaginales constituyeron las principales causas de morbilidad; y la sepsis urinaria, de mortalidad.
ABSTRACT
A case-control study of 210 newly-delivered women whose children were born weighting less than 2 500 grams (study group) was carried out in "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital from Santiago de Cuba, during the 2008, to identify the risk factors associated with low birth weight. The control group was chosen from a systematic random sampling by consecutive order in this period. Among the causative risk factors of that deficit there were: rural origin, low gain of maternal weight, period between pregnancies shorter than 2 years, pregnancy induced hypertension and gestational age under 37 weeks. Breathing disorders and the vaginal infections constituted the main morbidity causes; and the urinary sepsis, the main mortality cause.
