Abstract
Estudio transversal que analizó la prevalencia y distribución espacial de defectos del tubo neural, antes y después del enriquecimiento de las harinas de trigo y maíz con ácido fólico en el Estado de Sao Paulo, Brasil, con el uso del Sistema de Información sobre Nacidos Vivos (SINASC). Se presentaron prevalencias, según características maternas, mediante odds ratio (OR) e intervalos de un 95% de confianza (IC95%). Para un análisis temporal y espacial, fueron utilizados, respectivamente, regresión polinomial y mapas con suavizamiento bayesiano empírico. La prevalencia disminuyó un 35%, de 0,57 a 0,37 por mil nacidos vivos tras el enriquecimiento (OR = 0,65; IC95%: 0,59-0,72). Se verificó la reducción en mujeres de todas las edades (excepto < 15 años), con más de tres años de estudio y siete consultas o más de carácter prenatal. Se confirmó la reducción temporal en la mayor parte del estado, excepto algunos municipios del oeste. Otros aspectos pueden haber contribuido al declive observado, no obstante, los resultados reiteran el enriquecimiento de harinas como una medida importante para la prevención de defectos en el tubo neural. Otros análisis deben ser realizados para justificar el resultado inverso en el oeste paulista.
This cross-sectional study analyzed the prevalence and spatial distribution of neural tube defects before and after folic acid flour fortification. The study used the Information System on Live Births (SINASC) and presented prevalence rates according to maternal characteristics with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Polynomial regression was used in time trend analysis and empirical Bayesian smoothed maps for spatial analysis. Total prevalence of neural tube defects decreased by 35%, from 0.57/1,000 to 0.37/1,000 live births after fortification (OR = 0.65; 95%CI: 0.59-0.72). There was a reduction among newborns of mothers with the following characteristics: all age groups (except < 15 years), more than three years of schooling, and seven or more prenatal visits. There was a reduction over time and in most of São Paulo State, except in a few municipalities (counties) located in the western region of the State. Other factors may have contributed to the observed decline, but the results corroborate flour fortification as an important measure to prevent neural tube defects. Further research is needed to elucidate the lack of a decline in neural tube defects in the western part of São Paulo State.
