Risk factors associated with congenital defects of the external genitalia and male gonads
Abstract
Introduction: Congenital defects of the urogenital tract are among the anomalies most found in the fetus or neonate, which gives an idea of their extraordinary clinical importance, together with the few investigations in the Camagüey province, on risk factors associated with congenital defects of external genitalia and male gonads.
Objective: To determine the risk factors associated with congenital defects of the external genitalia and male gonads.
Methods: A retrospective correlational study was carried out at the Eduardo Agramonte Piña Pediatric Hospital from January 2013 to December 2020. The universe was made up of the 96 patients who underwent surgery for presenting congenital defects of the external genitalia and male gonads. To determine the association of the risk factors with the appearance of congenital defects, the independence test was used; in case of p
Results: Cryptorchidism was the clinical form with the highest number of patients, followed by hypospadias and hydrocele. The association between farm worker parents and hypospadias and cryptorchidism with industrial worker parents was significant. The fact that the mother was a passive smoker was a variable with a significant association, both for the appearance of hypospadias and cryptorchidism. Being a passive smoker was the risk factor that had the highest correlation with the appearance of birth defects.
Conclusions: There were risk factors with a significant association with the appearance of congenital defects of the external genitalia and male gonads.
