ABSTRACT

Objective: To characterize the intellectual disability behavior on population treated in “Dr. Carlos J. Finlay” polyclinic of Marianao from 1997 to 2014.
Method: An observational descriptive study of persons with intellectual disability, born between 1997 and 2014, including a universe of 9 338 persons, a clinical-genetic study of 39 cases identified with intellectual disabilities was conducted, with inclusion criterion. The individual medical records were reviewed, a classification instrument that included anamnesis, complete physical examination of each patient and the selected cases were performed the necessary laboratory investigations to identify the source of disability was applied.
Results: A prevalence of 0.42 per 100 inhabitants represented 39 patients with intellectual disabilities. Intellectual disability predominated in males 1.4/1; the highest percentage of disability accounted for 33 school-age patients 84.6%, born between 1997 and 2008, 23 cases 58.9% had a mild disability. The origin of disability prevailed in the prenatal period, with 16 individuals surveyed 41.1% and genetic causes ranked first 68.8%.
Conclusions: The results of this study allow updating and enriching the available information on intellectual disability in the population of the investigated area. The identification of causes direct monitoring and control must be maintained in this population, as well as prevention and necessary disclosure to all involved in the diagnosis and care of people with intellectual disabilities.
