Abstract
Abstract Objectives: to determine and characterize the prevalence of congenital malformations among live births in Rondônia, from 2015 to 2019. Methods: an ecological study was conducted using publicly available data at Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos collected in January 2021. The prevalence of congenital malformation and possible associations were calculated. The strength of the association between variables was measured using the odds ratio. Variables that were statistically significant at the 5% level were selected for adjusted odds ratio calculation using logistic regression models. The R programming language was used for all analyses and interactions with the database. A 95% confidence interval was considered. Results: a total of 1,110 records were analyzed. The overall prevalence of congenital malformation was 8.36, with higher rates observed among mothers over 35 years, those with low educational levels, unmarried status, and preterm birth. Infants with low birth weight and low Apgar scores also had higher prevalence rates of congenital malformations. Conclusion: the prevalence of congenital malformations in the state was similar to the national average, but regional disparities were observed and warrant further investigation.
摘要目的:了解2015 - 2019年Rondônia活产婴儿先天性畸形患病率。方法:利用2021年1月在Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos收集的公开数据进行生态学研究。计算先天性畸形的患病率和可能的关联。变量之间的关联强度用比值比来衡量。选择在5%水平上具有统计学显著性的变量,使用逻辑回归模型进行校正优势比计算。所有的分析和与数据库的交互都使用了R编程语言。考虑95%置信区间。结果:共分析1110份病历。先天性畸形的总体患病率为8.36,在35岁以上、教育水平低、未婚和早产的母亲中发病率较高。低出生体重和低阿普加评分的婴儿也有较高的先天性畸形患病率。结论:我州先天性畸形患病率与全国平均水平相近,但存在地区差异,值得进一步调查。
