Congenital Syphilis Clinical and Epidemiological Features in Canindeyú Paraguay 2022-2024

Comprising clinical and epidemiological records of congenital syphilis cases from the Hospital Regional de Salto del Guairá in Canindeyú, Paraguay, covering the period 2022 to 2024. It was created by the ULDV Medicine program to identify factors associated with infection occurrence, based on a retrospective, quantitative analysis of maternal and newborn clinical records.

Use Cases

• Analyze associations between sociodemographic variables and congenital syphilis occurrence to identify high-risk maternal profiles.
• Investigate the relationship between prenatal care controls and perinatal outcomes such as prematurity or low birth weight.
• Model factors associated with infection to inform local prevention and prenatal surveillance strategies in high-vulnerability contexts.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined three-year period from 2022 to 2024, providing a contemporary snapshot.
• Focuses on a specific high-vulnerability region (Canindeyú, Paraguay), offering localized epidemiological insights.
• Designed with an analytical approach to establish associations between clinical, sociodemographic, and outcome variables.

Limitations

• The sample size is unknown and may be limited to a single regional hospital, reducing generalizability.
• As a retrospective study based on clinical records, data completeness and consistency are not guaranteed.
• Specific column definitions, data formats, and row counts are unavailable, complicating preliminary assessment.
