Abstract
Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de malformaciones asociadas en una población infantil afectada por fisuras del labio y/o paladar. Material y métodos: estudio observacional, predominantemente descriptivo, sobre 128 niños con fisuras de labio y/o paladar, nacidos en el Hospital Materno Provincial "Fé del Valle" de Manzanillo, Cuba, entre 1990 y 2011. Los datos fueron registrados sistemática y prospectivamente. Las variables utilizadas fueron: sexo, color de la piel, tipo de fisura y malformaciones asociadas. La información se resumió en base a las frecuencias, a partir de las cuales se establecieron datos de asociación intervariables y se calcularon tasas específicas de prevalencia. El riesgo de malformaciones asociadas se estimó para cada tipo de fisura a partir de la medición de la razón de posibilidades (RP) y sus intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC 95%). Resultados: la prevalencia de malformaciones asociadas en estos pacientes fue del 20,3% con predominio en el sistema osteomioarticular. Las fisuras labiopalatinas presentaron el mayor riesgo de malformación asociada (RP=2,08; IC 95%:0,83 - 5,2). Conclusiones: la prevalencia de malformaciones asociadas en esta población es concordante con las variaciones reportadas para este indicador. Aparentemente, hay un riesgo mayor de comorbilidad malformativa para las fisuras labio-alveolo-palatinas.
Objective: to determinate the prevalence of associated malformations in children with cleft lip and cleft palate. Methods: observational and descriptive study performed on 128 children with cleft lip and/or palate born at the "Fé del Valle" Maternal Hospital, in Manzanillo, Cuba, between 1990 and 2011. Data were systematically and prospectively collected. The following variables were used: sex, color of skin, type of cleft and associated malformations. Information was resumed by frequencies to establish association data and estimate prevalence rates. Risk of associated malformations was estimated for each type of cleft by means of Odds ratio and its 95% confidence intervals. Results: prevalence of associated malformations in these patients was 20,3 % with predominance of osteomioarticular anomalies. Cleft lip associated to cleft palate showed the greater risk of associated malformations (OR=2,08; 95%CI: 0,83-5,2). Conclusions: the prevalence of associated malformations in this population agrees with previous reports. It seems to be more malformations associated with combined clefts.
