Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Memorias del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. Each manuscript is assessed by a minimum of two external reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area, who are given a period of 30 days to submit their evaluation. Reviewers assess the originality, methodological rigor, scientific relevance, and clarity of presentation of each work. Based on the reviewers' reports, the Editorial Committee decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript, and communicates the decision to the authors as promptly as possible. This process ensures impartiality, transparency, and the scientific quality of published articles.

Abstract

La identificación de anomuna de las principales tareas a las que debe enfrentarse cualquier obstetra involucrado en el diagnóstico de anomalías congénitas. Se analizaron características clínicas y citogenéticas en gestantes sometidas a amniocentesis. Estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo, incluyó casos consecutivos en un centro privado de julio de 2010 a enero de 2015. Las muestras fueron procesadas en CGC Genetic (Porto–Portugal). Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó PEPI 4.0X. Se realizaron 67 estudios, en el 98,5% se pudo obtener el cariotipo y de éstos resultaron 74,2% normales y 25,8% anormales: 35,4% Trisomía 21, 17,6% Trisomía 18, Trisomía 13 y Sx Turner respectivamente, entre las principales. Indicaciones: 6,0% edad materna, 14,9% edad materna + alteración ecográfica, 77,6% alteración ecográfica (45,2 malformaciones congénitas mayores, 20,1% translucencia nucal aumentada, 17,7% higroma quístico entre otras). La edad gestacional promedio de la punción fue 19 semanas, la menor a las 15 y la mayor a las 30. El resultado del cariotipo se recibió 12 días posteriores a la técnica en promedio, mínimo 8 días y máximo 29. No se presentaron complicaciones obstétricas. El seguimiento de los casos encontró concordancia entre el cariotipo y el fenotipo del recién nacido. Si bien es un número bajo de muestras, la amniocentesis es un método diagnóstico confiable y de bajo riesgo. El diagnóstico prenatal de cromosomopatías permitió el asesoramiento genético y el manejo obstétrico y pediátrico de los casos de manera adecuada. En los embarazos con cariotipo normal, este resultado alivió la preocupación de muchos padres.
