Análisis y modelamiento espacial de casos de anomalías congénitas en pacientes pediátricos para el año 2015 y primer semestre del 2016 en la Ciudad de Bogotá D.C

Abstract

Congenital malformations are defined as structural or functional abnormalities, which occur during intrauterine life and are detected during pregnancy, delivery, or the time after life. Public health surveillance systems provided relevant information that, together with environmental conditions, experiences, and established spatial relationships (proximity, displacement, connectivity, distance, affinity for specific places) create a close relationship with the distribution of a health event. Knowing the pattern of how the cases of malformations are distributed can help to identify risk factors for the population and make an early and accurate detection of this phenomenon. Observing the behavior of each of the cases and the relationship between the intrinsic variables of the individual along with the social, territorial, socioeconomic and environmental that can be observed in the micro territory. Through this work, an analysis was represented both statistically and cartographically to provide the necessary information for the correct identification of the vulnerable population and the incident factors of congenital anomalies in order to support new policies that can mitigate the impact of this pathology. presents in society.
