Asian J Psychiatr 2024; 99:104125. [PMID: 38972143 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajp.2024.104125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The escalating utilization of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in response to global infertility rates has spurred research into its complications. Short-term and long-term outcomes have been extensively studied, particularly the neurological concerns surrounding attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among ART-conceived children. This study aims investigate the association between ART and ADHD. METHODS Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched through April 4, 2023. Cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies were eligible for inclusion. primary summary measures included the unadjusted relative risk (RR) and adjusted hazard ratio (HR) with 95 % confidence intervals. Both fixed-effects and random-effects models were utilized for meta-analysis data pooling to determine the overall effect size. The onset of ADHD in children conceived through ART compared to those conceived naturally. RESULTS The systematic search yielded 8 studies with 10,176,148 individuals included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed a pooled RR of 0.93 (0.68-1.26) for cohort studies and a pooled RR of 0.97 (0.41-2.29) for cross-sectional studies, along with a pooled HR of 1.08 (1.03-1.13) for ADHD in the ART group compared to the non-ART group. CONCLUSION While this study identifies some potential association between ART and ADHD, the limited effect size and inherent heterogeneity underscore the need for cautious interpretation.

Kong L, Nivins S, Chen X, Liang Y, Gissler M, Lavebratt C. Association of preterm birth and birth size status with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders in spontaneous births. Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry 2024:10.1007/s00787-024-02489-5. [PMID: 38866929 DOI: 10.1007/s00787-024-02489-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
Preterm birth (PTB) or small birth size are risk factors for certain neurodevelopmental disorders. The magnitude of these associations in spontaneous births, and of associations for combined PTB and birth size status on neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders is unexplored. We investigated whether PTB and small/large for gestational age (SGA/LGA), separately or combined, in spontaneous births, are associated with a wide spectrum of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. In this population-based registry cohort study, all singleton spontaneous births in Finland from 1996 to 2014 were followed until 2018 (n = 819 764). We show that PTB across gestational ages, and SGA, were associated with higher risks for anxiety disorders, intellectual disabilities, specific developmental disorders (SDD), autism spectrum disorders (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) and other emotional and behavioural disorders (F98). Most of these associations were not attributed to familial factors. Larger effect sizes were observed with lower gestational ages. Extremely PTB was associated at highest risks with intellectual disabilities (HR, 10.70 [95%CI, 8.69-13.17]) and SDD (HR, 8.91 [95%CI, 8.18-9.71]). Moreover, very preterm birth combined with SGA was associated with a higher risk for SDD (HR, 7.55 [95%CI, 6.61-8.62]) than that of very preterm or SGA birth alone. Conversely, LGA birth lowered the risk for SDD and other emotional and behavioural disorders among individuals born very preterm. In conclusion, PTB along with SGA is associated with higher risks for SDD than one exposure alone, whereas LGA lowers the risks for SDD and other emotional and behavioural disorders in individuals born spontaneously.

Understanding the course of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children born after a threatened preterm labor: a 6-year cohort study. Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM 2024; 6:101289. [PMID: 38280551 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajogmf.2024.101289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent research suggests that children born after suspected preterm labor may observe a potential cluster with different attention deficit hyperactivity disorder features, depending on the time of birth. However, the evolution of symptoms and their predictors remain unknown in this population. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the trajectories of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms of children born after suspected preterm labor, between ages 2 and 6 years, considering prematurity condition and comparing with controls. In addition, this study aimed to find potential modifiable predictors of evolution to enhance prognosis. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective cohort study, 119 mother-child pairs who experienced suspected preterm labor and 60 controls were included. Patients were divided according to prematurity condition in full term (n=27), late preterm (n=55), and very preterm (n=37). Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms were assessed at ages 2 and 6 years. The association between potential modifying factors (group, time of assessment, sex, birthweight percentile, maternal history of trauma, maternal anxiety at diagnosis, and maternal anxiety during the children's assessments) and disorder trajectories was assessed by adjusting the Bayesian mixed linear models. All analyses were performed in R (version 4.3.0; R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). RESULTS An interaction emerged between time and group, with late-preterm neonates born after suspected preterm labor being the only group to improve from ages 2 to 6 years (-2.26 points in Conners scale per percentile decrease and 0.98 probability of effect). Another interaction between time and maternal anxiety at postnatal time assessments intensified over time (0.07 and 0.84). Predictors of symptom severity included lower weight percentile at birth (-0.2 and 0.96), male sex (-2.99 and <0.99), higher maternal anxiety at diagnosis (+0.08 and 0.99), and maternal history of trauma (+0.23 and 0.98). CONCLUSION Unlike very-preterm and full-term children, those born late preterm showed an improvement over time, probably because late-preterm children do not carry the sequelae derived from severe prematurity but benefit from close monitoring. As maternal psychopathology emerged as a determinant modifier of course and severity, it is crucial to develop targeted psychological interventions for pregnant individuals and reevaluate monitoring programs for their offspring, regardless of prematurity.

[PMID: 38256563 PMCID: PMC10816547 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13020429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Most preterm births occur in the late preterm period. While prematurity-related adverse outcomes are significantly diminished when birth occurs during this period, these infants are still at increased risk of complications. Parity affects the incidence of obstetric complications. The purpose of this study was to determine whether parity impacts the risk of spontaneous late preterm birth (SLPTB) and associated complications. A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted. Patients were divided into three study groups according to parity. The primary outcome was the rate of SLPTB in each group. Secondary outcomes were unplanned cesarean delivery (UCD), prolonged third stage of labor respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), neonatal hypoglycemia, duration of NICU admission, neonatal death, and composite adverse neonatal outcome (CANO). Primiparas were more likely to have SLPTB, UCD, and CANO compared to multiparas (2.6% vs. 1.9% OR 1.5 [1.3-1.7] p < 0.01) (4.1% vs. 1.3% OR 2.7 [1.2, 5.9] p < 0.01) (8.5% vs. 4.2 OR 2.1 [1.3-3.5] p = 0.002) and grandmultiparas (2.6% vs. 1.7% OR 1.4 [1.2-1.5] p < 0.001) 8.5% vs. 4.4% OR 2.0 [1.1, 3.8], p = 0.01) but no difference in UCD compared to grandmultiparas (4.1% vs. 3.3% OR 1.2 [0.6-2.7] p = 0.28). Primiparas are at increased risk of SLPTB and UCD, and this is accompanied by an increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes.
