OBJECTIVE: To establish the values of head circumference (PC) of a group of healthy newborns Lima children of women who had healthy singleton pregnancies. DESIGN: Retrospective, analytical and transversal study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on maternal and perinatal data from the Department of Obstetrics and Pediatrics National Teaching Hospital Mother-Child "San Bartolome" between January 1, 1991 and December 31, 1999 (SIP) was reviewed. Singleton pregnancies of women between 20 and 30 years, with BMI between 20 and 25 km / m2 was selected healthy without obstetric complications, with difference ± 2 weeks between EG FUR and physical examination of the living and healthy newborn. RESULTS: The sound in Lima (50th percentile (10th percentile-90th percentile)) 5443 head circumference of newborns (NB) at weeks 36,36,37,38,39,40,41 and 42 were 33 (31-35 ), 33 (31-35), 34 (32 to 35.5), 34 (32...

Introduction: Clavicle fracture rate is one of the most visible indicators of institutional birth attendance quality. Its analysis will allow interventions on impact evaluation for direct benefit of our patients. Objective: To determine the clavicle fracture rate tendency in three Lima, Peruvian hospitals. Design: Ecological type study. Institutions: San Bartolome and Santa Rosa Hospitals, and Instituto Especializado Materno Perinatal, Lima, Peru. Participants: Newborns. Interventions: Individual and global analysis of each institutional perinatal informatic system monthly reports, from January 2004 through December 2008, on the chronological evolution of clavicle fracture rate, in order to determine its tendency and characteristic profiles. Main outcome measures: Clavicle fracture rates (total clavicle fractures per month * 100/ total deliveries per month). Results: During the study per...
