RESUMO

The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of oral clefts in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ/BR, in children born from January 01, 1999 to December 31, 2004, and to research the notification of the occurrence of malformation in the Live Births Declaration (LBD) and in the Information System on Live Births (ISLB), through research in the field 34 destined to the notification of congenital malformation. There has been considered the age group, clefts type, gender and the race of the child, as well as the marital status, education degree and the origin of the child?s mother at the time of the birth. This way, the patients handbooks enrolled in reference services in treatment of craniofacial anomalies in the cities of Campos dos Goytacazes(RJ), Rio de Janeiro(RJ) and Bauru(SP), were verified with the purpose of selecting the ones whose birth and/or residence was in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, within the period of interest. After the initial selection, a search in ISLB was accomplished to define the universe of the study, that was: finding the children who were born alive between 1999 and 2004 whose mothers were resident in Campos dos Goytacazes. In this period, using as a reference the residence of the mother, the number of children born in the city was of 46707, of which 63 possessed cleft lip with or without cleft palate, representing a prevalence of 1.35 cases in every 1000 live births. The analysis of the data revealed that 55.6% of the patients were male; the more found cleft type was of isolated cleft palate (34.9%), followed by the cleft lip and palate (31.7%) and the cleft lip (30.2%); the white race represented 61.3% of the cases but the percentage of cases within each race didn?t differ statistically in relation to the distribution of the births in the population; most of the mothers were single or divorced, having as a characteristic the low education degree. As regarding to the malformation notification, the analysis of the registration field 34 displayed that, the LBD and the ISLB were shown inefficient in the notification of the oral clefts, due to mistakes in the completion of the same ones and, mainly, for the absence of the completion of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) code in LBD
