Introduction: Birth defects are a cause of morbidity and mortality in our country, so the Institute of Human Genetics and the Health Secretary of Bogotá developed a surveillance program based on the methodology of the Latin American Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations (ECLAMC).Methods: We collected data on births monitored in the case-control and monitor modes. Maternal and newborn risk factors were evaluated.Results: 121,674 births were monitored, 1,81% had congenital malformations, higher in males. The most frequent malformations were ear and limbs. The main risk factors showed: advanced maternal age, low weight and size for gestational age. 47,2% and 52,3% of case-control and monitor respectively, would benefit from early intervention.Conclusions: Patients with congenital malformations have a higher risk of prematurity and low birth weight. Monitoring and training should improve in order to increase detection sensitivity in our program. |
