Birth defects consisted of a group of diverse clinical conditions categorized on the basis of a congenital presentation and a partly orwholly genetic etiology. Although individually rare, birth defects affect 2-3% of all births in India. As India has the ... see more

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.
