RESUMENObjetivo: evaluar la posible asociación entre factores ambientales y la presencia de labio o paladar hendido (LPH) no sindrómico en los niños residentes en el Magdalena Medio colombiano.Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio de casos y controles con 30 madres de niños con LPH (casos) y 60 madres de niños sin alguna alteración craneofacial (controles). Los casos y controles se obtuvieron de una clínica dental en la región mencionada. Las variables analizadas fueron las sociodemográficas (edad, condición socioeconómica, nivel de escolaridad, lugar de residencia antes y durante el primer trimestre); las relacionadas con la gestación (exposición a pesticidas, consumo prenatal de sustancias psicoactivas, alcohol y tabaco), la presencia de LPH en la familia. Se aplicó la prueba de Chi 2 o test Exacto de Fisher según fuera apropiado, la t de Student o U. de Mann Whitnney de acuerdo con la distribución de las variables. Se realizó una regresión logística para establecer los Odds Ratio (OR) crudos y ajustados. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH ORAL CLEFTS IN CHILDREN LIVING IN COLOMBIAN MAGDALENA MEDIOABSTRACT Objective: to assess the possible association between environmental factors and the presence of non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) in children living in the Colombian Magdalena Medio.Methods: a case-control study was carried out with 30 mothers of children with CL/P (cases) and 60 mothers of children without any craniofacial alteration (controls). The cases and controls were obtained from a dental clinic in the region mentioned. The variables analyzed were sociodemographic (age, socioeconomic condition, educational level, place of residence before and during the first trimester); pregnancy background (prenatal examinations, diseases, drugs, alcohol and tobacco consumption, psychoactive substances consumption and pesticide exposure), presence of CL/P in the family. Chi-square and Fisher Exact test, Student t test or U Mann Whitney were performed when appropriate. A logistic regression was done to establish the crude and adjusted odds ratio (OR). Conclusions: exposure to pesticides and the presence of CL/P in the family of the affected child increased the risk for non-syndromic oral clefts. Results
