摘要

There are few studies on the frequency of congenital anomalies in Brazil,particularly in the state of Amazonas.Therefore,the aim of this study was to investigate the number of live births with congenital anomalies in Amazonas,in the period 2008-2017,based on the Live Birth Information System(SINASC),as well as to discuss the relevance of the professionals being trained for the correct completion of the notice of live birth.In the study period,of the 773,313 live births in Amazonas,4,593 were diagnosed with some type of congenital anomaly,according to DATASUS.This corresponds to a prevalence of 5.9 cases per 1,000 live births.The most frequent cases were congenital deformities of the musculoskeletal system,with 23%of the reports,congenital deformity of the feet,with 16%,and other congenital malformations,with 15%of the registrations.The need for investments in the training and qualification of professionals was observed,so that they can act,in a qualified way,in the cycle of diagnosis,registration and support for families,since they have not been trained to deal with this new reality.The importance is emphasized of continuing the research in the field of genetic diseases in Amazonas,in order to assist the individuals and families affected,as well as supporting the decisions related to the planning and implementation of public policies directed toward the issue.
