Se efectuó un estudio de casos y controles de 210 puérperas cuyos hijos nacieron pesando menos de 2 500 gramos (grupo de estudio) en el Hospital General Docente "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" de Santiago de Cuba, durante el 2008, para identificar los factores de riesgo asociados al bajo peso al nacer. Los tomados como controles se escogieron a partir de un muestreo aleatorio sistemático por orden de consecutividad en dicho período. Entre los factores de riesgo causantes de ese déficit ponderal figuraron: procedencia rural, ganancia insuficiente de peso materno, período intergenésico menor de 2 años, hipertensión inducida por el embarazo y edad gestacional por debajo de 37 semanas. Las afecciones respiratorias y las infecciones vaginales constituyeron las principales causas de morbilidad; y la sepsis urinaria, de mortalidad.
