Epidemiología de las malformaciones congénitas urinarias

Introduction: Congenital urinary abnormalities (CUA) are presented with an average of 32.75 × 10,000. Objective: To describe the epidemiology and prevalence of CUA between January 2001 and December 2015 in Surveillance Programs of Congenital Anomalies of Bo-gota (PVSACB) and Cali (PVSACC). Methods: A retrospective study was performed using information from the database of PVSACB and PVSACC. The reporting period was between January 2001 and December 2015 to Bogota and between January 2011 and December 2015 to Cali. The inclusion criteria were: all live births of any weight or stillbirths greater or equal to 500g with any CUA (coded to Q60 to Q63 of ICD 10). Results: The total population of newborns in that period was 469.473, from 7 hospitals in Bogota (25.9 % of total births in Bogota) and 2 hospitals in Cali (20.8 % of total births in Cali). CUA were noted in 10.37 / 10.000 newborns (CI: 9.47-11.33). CUA were more reported in males. Hydronephrosis, poly-cystic kidney and multicystic dysplastyic kidney were more common. 72.7 % (n=354) were isolated cases, 18.7 % (n=91) were cases with one or more associated major defects (multi-ple congenital anomalies) and 8.6 % (n=42) were cases with a diagnosis of chromosomal or genetic syndrome. In patients with a diagnosis of chromosomal or genetic syndrome, 38.1 % (n=16) had Potter syndrome, 16.6 % (n=7) had VACTERL association, and 11.9 % (n=5) had Down syndrome. Conclusion: The prevalence of CUA in Bogota and Cali (two major cities in Colombia) is similar to that reported in a previous study done using data from Colombia and other international reports. CUA is a major cause of morbidity in Colombian births. CUA is a major cause of morbidity in Colombian births.
