RESUMO

The purpose of this study is to describe the socio demographic profile and perinatal outcome of pregnant women with prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of major fetal malformation at the Hospital das Clínicas, São Paulo University Medical School. The study was performed from 15th December 2005 to 15th December 2006. Cases that were not confirmed and did not consent to participate in the study were excluded. Mean maternal age was 27.1 years and skin color was brown in 48.1% of the cases (white: 35.5% and black: 16.4%). According to the educational level and salary, 57.8% did not finish college and the mean monthly income was 3.1 minimal wages. 19.4% of the cases had private health insurance coverage. The proportion of women who were taking medications during pregnancy was 26.6%, and from these, 5.7% intended for an abortion. Drug addiction during the first trimester was admitted by 1.2%. A previous history of a fetal malformation was reported by 10.4% of women, most cases were related to cardiac, genetic or environmental syndromes. The central nervous system was the most frequent site of malformation (28.1%), followed by renal (9.3%) and cardiac (9%) defects. Fetal karyotype was determined in 36.7% (123/335) of the fetuses and 23.6% of the results were abnormal. Pregnancy outcome was ascertained in 311 cases (92.8%): 76.8% were alive, 25.7% were neonatal deaths, 16.4% were stillborn and 6.3% miscarried. This study describes social demographic features and perinatal outcome in pregnancies with major fetal malformation diagnosed antenatally. This information is useful for parents preconception counseling
