Alfafetoproteína elevada en gestantes de la provincia Artemisa / High alpha-fetoprotein in pregnant women from Artemisa province Alfafetoproteína elevada en gestantes de la provincia Artemisa / High alpha-fetoprotein in pregnant women from Artemisa provinceObjetivo: caracterizar la relación de la Alfafetoproteína elevada en suero materno con la aparición de defectos congénitos y complicaciones obstétricas en gestantes de la provincia Artemisa en el periodo de enero del año 2011 a diciembre del 2013.Método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal en tres municipios, se consideraron elevadas las muestras con concentraciones de Alfafetoproteìna iguales o superiores a 2,0 MoM. Los datos fueron obtenidos del registro lineal de las consultas municipales de riesgo genético, así como los informes anuales del programa de Genética y procesados con técnicas de estadísticas descriptivas. Se tuvo en cuenta los principios éticos establecidos.Resultados: se encontró que solo el 3,5% de las gestantes con Alfafetoproteína elevada presentaron algún defecto congénito. En el 84% no se encontró una causa aparente y de estas el 42,26% tuvieron alguna complicaciónobstétrica.Conclusiones: predominaron las gestantes con Alfafetoproteína elevada sin causa genética aparente, más defectos del tubo neural que de la pared abdominal. Se presentaron complicaciones obstétricas en casi la mitad de las gestantes estudiadas, predominó el bajo peso al nacer y el parto pretérmino, lo que permite considerar el valor de esta glicoproteína como predictora de complicaciones obstétricas y de utilidad para la identificación de pacientes dealto riesgo.ABSTRACTObjective: to characterize the relationship of the elevated alpha-fetoprotein in maternal serum with the appearance of congenital defects and obstetric complications in pregnant women of the Artemisa province in the period from January 2011 to December 2013.Method: a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in three municipalities; samples with concentrations of Alfafetoprotein equal to or greater than 2.0 MoM were considered high. The data were obtained from the linear registry of the municipal genetic risk consultations, as well as the annual reports of the Genetics program and processed with descriptive statistics techniques. The established ethical principles were taken into accountResults: it was found that only 3,5% of pregnant women with high alpha-fetoprotein had a congenital defect. In 84%, no apparent cause was found and of these 42,26% had some obstetric complication.Conclusions: pregnant women predominated with high alpha-fetoprotein without apparent genetic cause, more defects of the neural tube than of the abdominal wall. Obstetric complications occurred in almost half ofthe pregnant women studied, low birth weight and preterm birth predominated, which allows us to consider the value of this glycoprotein as a predictor of obstetric complications and useful for the identification of high risk patients.Keywords: Alpha-fetoprotein; obstetric risk; obstetric complications.

Diagnóstico y prevención de enfermedades genéticas. Análisis de seis años del municipio Sandino / Diagnostic and prevention of the genetic diseases. Analysis of six years of the municipality SandinoDiagnóstico y prevención de enfermedades genéticas. Análisis de seis años del municipio Sandino / Diagnostic and prevention of the genetic diseases. Analysis of six years of the municipality SandinoIntroducción: En los últimos años ha aumentado la importancia de las anomalías congénitas y enfermedades hereditarias como causa de muerte en el primer año de vida. El Programa de Diagnóstico y Prevención de Enfermedades Genéticas ha contribuido a la reducción de las tasas de mortalidad infantil, los indicadores de morbilidad mejorar la calidad de vida en la comunidad. Objetivos: Realizar el análisis del comportamiento del Programa de genética médica en el municipio Sandino durante seis años de funcionamiento. Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, prospectivo, de corte longitudinal del total de gestantes desde el 1 de enero de 2000 hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2005, en las dos Áreas de Salud del municipio utilizando datos de la consulta municipal y provincial de Genética. Resultados: 2388 gestantes asistieron a Consulta Genética Comunitaria. 725 de ellas (30.4%) se clasificaron con riesgo incrementado. Los principales fueron la edad materna avanzada, embarazo en la adolescencia y los antecedentes familiares. El 9.84% de las Alfafetoproteínas resultaron elevadas, 48.9 % sin causa explicable. 11 pacientes decidieron no realizarse el diagnóstico prenatal citogenético y de los realizados 1 fue positivo. Los 31 casos de malformaciones detectadas decidieron interrumpir el embarazo. Conclusiones: El acercamiento de los Servicios de Genética Médica a la población y el desarrollo de la Genética Comunitaria facilitan la detección de riesgos si los casos son remitidos a tiempo al servicio de Genética. El embarazo en edades extremas conlleva los principales riesgos genéticos presentes en las gestantes estudiadas. Por cada fallecido se realizaron 6,2 interrupciones de embarazos por malformaciones. Palabras clave: Mortalidad infantil. anomalía congénita, enfermedad hereditaria, diagnóstico prenatal.ABSTRACT Introduction: In the last years Congenital Anomalies and hereditary diseases have gained importance, as a cause of death during the first year of life. The program for the ¨Diagnosis and Prevention of Genetic Diseases¨ has contributed to the reduction of infant mortality rates, and the morbility indicators, and to improve the quality of life within the community. Objective: To analyze how well the Genetic Program has been functioning in Sandino during the last six years. Method: It was held to descriptive, prospective study of longitudinal out with 100% of all pregnant women from January 1st, 2000 up to December 31st, 2005, in two health areas of the municipality, using data found in both the municipal and the provincial community Genetics Medical Assistance. Results: 2,388 pregnant women were attended in the community's Genetics Assistance, out of them just 725 (30, 4) were detected with increased risk. The main causes were advanced maternal age, teenage pregnancy and family records. Around 9.84% Alpha-fetoproteins reached high levels, 48.9% without a reasonable cause. Eleven patients decided not to go though the cytogenetic prenatal diagnosis and one resulted positive out of those carried out. The 31 cases of malformations detected decided to interrupt their pregnancy. Conclusion: The approach of the Genetic Service in the population y the Community's Genetics assistance contribute to the detection of risks as long as they go to visit the Genetic Physician on time. Pregnancy in deadline age constitutes the main genetic risk present in the pregnant women studied. For each person deceased about 6.2 abortions of pregnancy were done because of malformations. Key words: Infant mortality, genetic abnormalities, genetic diseases, prenatal diagnosis.
