Objective: To identify maternal risk factors associated with congenital malformations in newborns.

The case group consisted of 145 infants with birth defects and 435 infants without congenital malformations to the control group. Results: The frequency of risk factors in both groups, as well as the strength of association between factors and malformations, were analyzed the factors that force showed statistically significant association was teenage maternal age-advanced maternal age (OR = 1.69 IC95% 1.4-3.1) and preterm gestational age (OR = 4.5 IC95% 2.7-7.4).
