    Estudo sobre nascidos vivos em maternidades: 1. Peso ao nascer, sexo, tipo de nascimento e filiação previdenciária das mães
    (Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo, 1988-12-01) Souza, Maria de Lourdes R. de; Tanaka, Ana Cristina D'Andretta; Siqueira, Arnaldo Augusto Franco de; Santana, Renato Martins [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Centro de Ciências da Saúde Departamento de Saúde Pública; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Birthweight is the result of many factors (organic, psychological, social) acting on the genetic potential of the fetus. Consequently, its distribution is different according to the characteristics of the population. In this paper the authors studied the weight at birth of live newborns (from 1978 to 1979) in the two big maternity hospitals, in Florianópolis, responsible for 90% of all births in the area, by sex, litter size and mother's health security. The authors verified that the mean birthweight of the 18,491 live newborns was 3,347.6gr. In that population 5.3% of the newborns were low birthweight infants, and 11.1% weighed 4,000gr or more. Male newborns weighed significantly more than female babies, and the same difference occurred between single and multiple births. The relationship between the newborn's birthweight and the kind of health security the mother had showed that the mothers who didn't pay any kind of health security had babies with lower birthweight than those of the mothers who subscribed to some health security scheme. The data showed that this population has a low incidence of low birthweight babies, with a distribution similar to that observed in developed countries.

    CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Knowledge of risk factors associated with child development disorders is essential for delivering high-quality childcare. The objective here was to evaluate the relationships between risk factors and occurrences of developmental abnormalities among children attended at a reference clinic for children at risk of developmental abnormalities. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective study at a multidisciplinary reference center, Embu, São Paulo. METHODS: All cases followed up for more than three months between 1995 and 2003 were reviewed. The risk factors assessed were low birth weight, gestational age, length of stay in neonatal ward, perinatal asphyxia, mother s age < 18 years, congenital infections, malformations and low mother s education level. Developmental abnormalities were defined according to developmental tests and assessments by the clinic s professionals. The statistical analysis consisted of the chi-squared test for comparing categorical variables and a logistic regression model for multivariate analysis. RESULTS: 211 children were followed up for more than three months. Developmental abnormalities occurred in 111 (52.6%). Univariate analysis showed significant relationships between developmental abnormality and low birth weight, perinatal asphyxia, length of stay > 5 days, prematurity and mother s age 18 years and older. Low birth weight, history of perinatal asphyxia and mother s age continued to be significant in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Special attention must be paid to the development of low birth weight infants and/or infants with histories of neonatal complications. Low birth weight is easily assessed and should be considered to be an important marker when defining guidelines for following up child development.
