Abstract

Introduction: In Brazil, congenital malformation anomaly of the nervous system has been the most frequent among the anomalies. Knowledge of your geographical distribution both in space as throughout the time, can assist public managers in the decision-making process about the areas that must be prioritized for the monitoring of this disease. Objective: Detecting spatial and spatio-temporal clusters of congenital malformations of nervous system. Methods: An ecological study based on secondary data from the National Information System on Live Births in the period from 2010 to 2016 in the state of Paraíba. We estimated the spatial incidence ratios and applied circular and spatio-temporal Scan statistics to detect clusters with of abovementioned malformations. Results: The spatial pattern was different throughout the years of the occurrence of these malformations, since the spatial clusters were detected on different regions of the state, except in the years 2013 and 2015, which revealed a higher concentration in the central-west and northwest regions of the state. The retrospective spatio-temporal analysis revealed three clusters that persisted during the years of 2015 and 2016. Conclusion: The findings indicated the regions that must be prioritized for the monitoring of congenital malformations of nervous system in the state of Paraíba in time and space.
