Gestational triclosan exposure and infant birth weight: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Human milk (HM) is the gold standard for feeding infants but has been associated with slower growth in preterm infants compared with preterm formula. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarises the post-1990 literature to examine the effect of HM feeding on growth during the neonatal admission of preterm infants with birth weight ≤1500 g and/or born ≤28 weeks’ gestation. Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus were searched, and comparisons were grouped as exclusive human milk (EHM) vs. exclusive preterm formula (EPTF), any HM vs. EPTF, and higher vs. lower doses of HM. We selected studies that used fortified HM and compared that with a PTF; studies comparing unfortified HM and term formula were excluded. Experimental and observational studies were pooled separately. The GRADE system was used to evaluate risk of bias and certainty of evidence. Forty-four studies were included with 37 (n = 9963 infants) included in the meta-analyses. In general, due to poor quality studies, evidence of the effect of any HM feeds or higher versus lower doses of HM was inconclusive. There was a possible effect that lower doses of HM compared with higher doses of HM improved weight gain during the hospital admission, and separately, a possible effect of increased head circumference growth in infants fed EPTF vs. any HM. The clinical significance of this is unclear. There was insufficient evidence to determine the effects of an exclusive HM diet on any outcomes.

ObjectiveWe aimed to identify the relationship between maternal prenatal exercise and birth complications, and neonatal and childhood morphometric, metabolic and developmental outcomes.DesignSystematic review with random-effects meta-analysis and meta-regression.Data sourcesOnline databases were searched up to 6 January 2017.Study eligibility criteriaStudies of all designs were eligible (except case studies and reviews) if published in English, Spanish or French, and contained information on the relevant population (pregnant women without contraindication to exercise), intervention (subjective/objective measures of frequency, intensity, duration, volume or type of exercise, alone (‘exercise-only’) or in combination with other intervention components (eg, dietary; ‘exercise+cointervention’)), comparator (no exercise or different frequency, intensity, duration, volume, type or trimester of exercise) and outcomes (preterm birth, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, low birth weight (<2500 g), high birth weight (>4000 g), small for gestational age, large for gestational age, intrauterine growth restriction, neonatal hypoglycaemia, metabolic acidosis (cord blood pH, base excess), hyperbilirubinaemia, Apgar scores, neonatal intensive care unit admittance, shoulder dystocia, brachial plexus injury, neonatal body composition (per cent body fat, body weight, body mass index (BMI), ponderal index), childhood obesity (per cent body fat, body weight, BMI) and developmental milestones (including cognitive, psychosocial, motor skills)).ResultsA total of 135 studies (n=166 094) were included. There was ‘high’ quality evidence from exercise-only randomised controlled trials (RCTs) showing a 39% reduction in the odds of having a baby >4000 g (macrosomia: 15 RCTs, n=3670; OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.41 to 0.92) in women who exercised compared with women who did not exercise, without affecting the odds of growth-restricted, preterm or low birth weight babies. Prenatal exercise was not associated with the other neonatal or infant outcomes that were examined.ConclusionsPrenatal exercise is safe and beneficial for the fetus. Maternal exercise was associated with reduced odds of macrosomia (abnormally large babies) and was not associated with neonatal complications or adverse childhood outcomes.

Latar Belakang: Anemia dalam kehamilan mempengaruhi lebih dari 500 juta wanita dalam masa kehamilan, yang nantinya dapat dikaitkan dengan gangguan pada ibu dan bayi. Suplementasi zat besi selama masa kehamilan diberikan secara terus menerus adalah alternatif yang menarik. Anemia sering terjadi akibat defisiensi zat besi dikarenakan pada ibu hamil terjadi peningkatan kebutuhan zat besi dua kali lipat akibat peningkatan volume darah tanpa ekspansi volume plasma, untuk memenuhi kebutuhan ibu (mencegah kehilangan darah pada saat melahirkan) dan pertumbuhan janin.Tujuan: Artikel ilmiah ini mencoba menelaah berdasarka studi literature hasil penelitian mengenai penggunaan tablet zat besi terhadap peningkatan berat badan lahir bayi. Metode: Studi ini merupakan tinjauan literatur yang dilakukan dari tiga jurnal penelitian yang dilakukan di Viet Nam dan Spayol dan systematic review dari beberapa Randomized Controlled Trial yang dilakukan di cluster dan communityHasil: Beberapa penelitian menyebutkan terdapat korelasi yang erat antara anemia pada saat kehamilan dengan kematian janin, abortus, cacat bawaan, berat bayi lahir rendah, cadangan zat besi yang berkurang pada anak atau anak lahir dalam keadaan anemia gizi.Kesimpulan: Pemberian zat besi selama kehamilan selama ini diyakini dapat mengatasi anemia dalam kehamilan untuk menghindari persalinan prematur dan perdarahan pada saat persalinan,Kata kunci :Berat badan lahir, zat besi ABSTRACT Background: Anemia in pregnancy affects more than 500 million women during pregnancy, which can later be associated with disorders of the mother and baby. Iron supplementation during pregnancy is given continuously is an attractive alternative. Anemia often occurs due to iron deficiency because in pregnant women there is a doubling of iron demand due to increased blood volume without plasma volume expansion, to meet the needs of the mother (preventing blood loss during childbirth) and fetal growth.Purpose: This scientific article tries to examine the literature based on the results of research on the use of iron tablets to increase infant birth weight.Methods: This study is a literature review conducted from three research journals conducted in Viet Nam and Spain and a systematic review of several Randomized Control Trials conducted in clusters and communities.Results: Several studies suggest that there is a close correlation between anemia during pregnancy and fetal death. , abortion, congenital defects, low birth weight, reduced iron reserves in children or children born in a state of nutritional anemia.Conclusion: The administration of iron during pregnancy is believed to be able to overcome anemia in pregnancy to avoid premature labor and bleeding during labor, Keywords: Birth weight, iron
