Abstract
Objective: To develop an epidemiological study of live births with Spina Bifida in the Northeast of Brazil from 2012 to 2021.
Methodology: This study analyzes cases of Spina Bifida in live births in Brazil (2012-2021) using data from SINASC/DATASUS. The aim is to understand the occurrence and distribution of the condition to guide prevention and management strategies. To support the study, specific descriptors were searched in the PUBMED and BVS databases. The research aims to provide valuable insights into Spina Bifida in the context of Northeast Brazil.
Results: From 2012 to 2021, there were 1776 live births with Spina Bifida in the Northeast of Brazil, with 2021 registering the highest number of cases and 2012 the lowest. The highest prevalence occurred in 2021 (0.00027%), and the lowest in 2012 (0.00016%). The average was 0.024 live births with Spina Bifida per 1 live birth. Pernambuco stood out with 26.18% (n = 26.18%) of cases, while Piauí recorded the lowest number, 3.2% (n = 58). The predominant gender among live births with Spina Bifida was male at 51.85% (n = 921). In terms of ethnicity, there was a significant prevalence of mixed-race individuals, accounting for 74.04% (n = 1315). Regarding maternal age, the majority fell within the 20 to 24 age group at 24.32% (n = 432).
Conclusion: Pernambuco had the highest percentage of cases at 26.18%, while Piauí had the lowest rates at 3.2%. Male gender predominated (51.85%), as did mixed-race ethnicity (74.04%) and maternal age in the 20 to 24 age group (24.32%).
