Introducción:
Tal como sucede a nivel mundial, en Colombia las malformaciones congénitas son causas importantes de mortalidad infantil, enfermedad crónica y discapacidad. Las poblaciones indígenas de Colombia no cuentan con estudios definidos a este respecto, por lo cual la presente investigación se desarrolla en la zona indígena. Objetivo general:
Caracterizar las anomalías congénitas de los indígenas Embera-Chamí residentes en los resguardos del municipio de Riosucio, Caldas, entre los años 2007 y 2012. Métodos:
Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, aplicado a 125 nacidos vivos con anomalías congénitas. Se aplicó el formato especializado de Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS) de Colombia y para el análisis de variables se utilizó el paquete estadístico SPSS. Resultados:
De 3.382 nacimientos el 3,7 % (125) presentó anomalías congénitas. Se encuentra una asociación entre la edad de la madre y la presencia de anomalías congénitas. En el 87,2 % de los casos fueron con edad gestacional de término. Las anomalías más frecuentes fueron:
displasia de cadera, criptorquidia, malformaciones cardiovasculares, pie equino e hidrocefalia. Conclusiones:
Se encuentra una incidencia de anomalías congénitas en la población indígena de los Embera-Chamí de Riosucio, Caldas, mayor que para el promedio de la población general en Colombia.
Introduction:
As is the case worldwide, in Colombia congenital malformations are important causes of infant mortality, chronic disease and disability. The indigenous populations of Colombia do not have defined studies in this regard, so the present research is developed in the indigenous area. General objective:
To characterize congenital anomalies in Embera-Chamí indigenous people living in the reservations of the municipality of Riosucio, Caldas, between 2007 and 2012. Methods:
Descriptive, retrospective study, applied to 125 live births with congenital anomalies. The specialized format of the National Institute of Health (INS) of Colombia was applied and the SPSS statistical package was used for the analysis of variables. Results:
Out of 3,382 births, 3.7% (125) presented congenital anomalies. An association was found between the mother's age and the presence of congenital anomalies. In 87.2 % of the cases, the gestational age was at term. The most frequent anomalies were:
hip dysplasia, cryptorchidism, cardiovascular malformations, clubfoot and hydrocephalus. Conclusions:
An incidence of congenital anomalies is found in the indigenous population of the Embera-Chamí of Riosucio, Caldas, higher than for the average of the general population in Colombia.
