Methods: A descriptive study was developed about the space and time distribution of defect s registered in Cali betweenMarch 2004 and October 2008 using principles of spatial statistics, namely the spatial data exploratory analysis. Results: Higher case density and prevalence was observed among neighborhoods of eastern Cali. Three districts («communes») of the 21 in the city showed a larger probability (50 to 100% larger) of major birth defects. Significant clusters (p<0.05) were proven in spatial, temporal and space-temporal analysis. Conclusions: Birth defects were confirmed clustered in several communes at the poorest areas of the city. Occurrence of defects in this area may be associated, at least in part, to social and environmental inequities. 2011 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28318498002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.42 |
