Objective: To describe the behavior of pregnancy and congenital syphilis in Colombia between 2012 and 2018 according to national notifications records. Materials and Methods: An ecological exploratory study was conducted based on notifications to the public health surveillance system. The incidence rate and prevalence ratio were estimated for each department. Each estimate was established per ranges for 33 departments evaluated and expressed in grayscale maps based on rates and ratios evaluated. Epidemic curves by week of notification for pregnancy and congenital syphilis are also shown. Results: Arauca, Santander, Cesar and Caldas had the highest increase in pregnancy syphilis between 2012 and 2018 while Santander, Casanare and Amazonas had an increase in congenital syphilis during the same period. Other departments had a decrease in these events. Significant differences were found in case reporting from year to year in both events in the country (p<0.001). Conclusions: In Colombia, an increase in pregnancy syphilis was found while a variability with an increasing trend was found for congenital syphilis in recent years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Determinate the frequency and types of preanalytical errors found during a month at two sections of the clinical laboratory at a public hospital of third level. Materials y methods: transverse descriptive study, universe: 20268 samples received for analyses at two sections of the clinical laboratory, object poblation: 818 preanalytical errors. Were registered during the month of november of the 2008 year all samples rejected at the chemistry and hematology sections because arrive in inadequate conditions for to be processed; moreover, was realized a descriptive analyses of the frequency of registered preanalytical errors, then determinate the frequency of these errors by services, laboratory sections and hours and week days of samples reception, besides was realized a analyses by work shifts managed in the hospital. The results were analysed in the estadistics programs EPI info 3.2 y SPSS 15.0. Results: We identified 818 errors pre analytical (relative frequency of the 4 %). The distribution of errors was: Coagulated sample 42 %, hemolysed sample 25 %, inadequate volume of sample 23 %, wrongly marked sample 4 %, unmarked sample 3 %, inadequate container used 2 %, another causes (the tube broke in centrifugal, the sample did not arrive). The bigger number of errors derived of the services of urgencies, care intensive adult unit and surgical; these no conformities focused principally on the three days of the weekend and in the night turn. Conclusions: In the analyses of clinical specimens exists many pre analytical sources of error that generates rejection of samples. The managment of total quality for the analyses of laboratory requires than the total process be managed so as to reduce or, ideally, eliminate all defects within the process. It is important to detect the deviations of processes because thus draw and implement plans of improvement itself that entail to offer a highquality service. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
