Prevalence of congenital anomalies at birth among live births in the state of Maranhão from 2001 to 2016: temporal and spatial analysis
Conclusion: The prevalence at birth of total CAs was lower than expected for major human defects (3%).

The spatial clusters were probably due to variations at random due to the small number of births as they a re not repeated in other years. Studies like this are the basis for the establishment of CA surveillance programs.RESUMO: Objetivos: Analisar as preval ências ao nascimento e a distribuição espacial e temporal das anomalias congênitas (ACs) entre nascidos vivos no estado do Mara...
