- Abstract
The research traces an epidemiologic profile of newborns with congenital malformation living in the state of Pernambuco in 2014. It is known that congenital malformation consists in alterations during the cell-splitting process or genetic disturbance and the social-economic and sociocultural factors, which interfere in this process as well. It is an epidemiologic study, transversal, quantitative and descriptive. It was used secondary data extracted from the SINASC (Information system about the living newborn). The dependent variable was the presence of congenital malformation when they are born, while the independent variable data is connected to the mother and the newborn. From the 142.263 newborn children alive, 1.226 were notified with congenital malformation. In this group, most of them are boys, with average body weight and normal pregnancy time and predominance malformation of the musculoskeletal system. The mothers were young, single, with good education and most of them were submitted to caesarean section. The hospital was the main childbirth place. While observed, there is a need to perform a deeper research about this subject, as well as review the given assistance to these mothers in a qualitative point of view. It is concluded that the preventive measures are really important and urgent. There is a need to have a more direct contact with the mothers in order to raise awareness in them about the risks that are being exposed to them and the developing fetus.
