ABSTRACT

Aim: to determine the prevalence of ankyloglossia in new-borns of the Nostra Senyora de Meritxell Hospital in the Principado de Andorra, Europe, as well as the existing relationship with auxological data or other malformations or associated diseases. Material and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective population study of 306 newborns was carried out over a period of 8 months. Eleven variables were studied: presence or no of ankyloglossia, type of short frenulum, height, weight, cranial perimeter, sex, Rh and blood group, gestational age, malformations and associated neonatal pathologies, confidentially and anonymously, correlating them to see if there was any association between them. Results: A total of 306 new-borns were included in the study (52% male and 48% female). The prevalence of ankyloglossia was 6,54% (n=20). Of the total of men (159/306), 8,125% (n=13) presented ankyloglossia, while woman (147/306), the prevalence was 4,79% (n=7), without finding statistically significant differences regarding sex (p-value=0,24). According to the Coryllos classification, type II was the most frequent (95% of cases) and 4,58% of infants with ankyloglossia exhibited pathology/malformation. Conclusions: The prevalence of ankyloglossia in new-borns in Andorra, Europe, is similar to that observed by other authors in similar research. No association was observed between the presence or not of ankyloglossia and the variables studied.
