Preeclampsia, Fetal Growth Restriction, and 24-Month Neurodevelopment in Very Preterm Infants. JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e2420382. [PMID: 38967923 PMCID: PMC11227083 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.20382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance Preeclampsia has direct influences on a developing fetus and may impact postnatal health, and fetal growth restriction (FGR) is often seen co-occurring with preeclampsia. The development of children born very preterm after preeclampsia diagnosis with and without FGR is not well characterized. Objective To examine the associations of preeclampsia and FGR with developmental and/or behavioral outcomes in a cohort of very preterm infants. Design, Setting, and Participants In this cohort study, infants in the prospective Neonatal Neurobehavior and Outcomes in Very Preterm Infants study were enrolled between April 2014 and June 2016 from 9 US university-affiliated neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Eligible infants were born before 30 weeks' gestation. Infants were excluded for any major congenital anomalies and for maternal age younger than 18 years or cognitive impairment impacting the ability to provide informed consent. Data analysis was performed from November 2023 to January 2024. Exposure Maternal preeclampsia and FGR in very preterm infants. Main Outcomes and Measures The Bayley-III cognition, motor, and language scores less than 85 (-1 SD) indicated developmental delay. Child Behavior Checklist/Preschool 1.5-5 T-scores greater than or equal to 64 for internalizing, externalizing, or total problems indicated clinical importance. Results Of 704 infants enrolled, 529 (mean [SD] gestational age, 27.0 [1.9] weeks; 287 male [54.3%]) were studied at 24-month follow-up. A total of 94 infants' mothers had preeclampsia (23.2%), and 46 infants (8.7%) had FGR. In adjusted models, preeclampsia was not associated with Bayley-III (cognitive, B = 3.43 [95% CI, -0.19 to 6.66]; language, B = 3.92 [95% CI, 0.44 to 7.39]; motor, B = 1.86 [95% CI, -1.74 to 5.47]) or Child Behavior Checklist/Preschool 1.5-5 (internalizing, B = -0.08 [95% CI, -2.58 to 2.73]; externalizing, B = 0.69 [95% CI, -1.76 to 3.15]; total, B = 0.21 [95% CI, -2.48 to 2.91]) outcomes. FGR was associated with significantly lower Bayley-III scores (cognitive, B = -8.61 [95% CI, -13.33 to -3.89]; language, B = -8.29 [95% CI, -12.95 to -3.63]; motor, B = -7.60 [95% CI, -12.40 to -2.66]), regardless of preeclampsia status. Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study of preterm infants, preeclampsia was not associated with developmental and/or behavioral outcomes, but infants with FGR may be prone to developmental delays. These findings suggest future areas of research for understanding the roles of preeclampsia and FGR separately and together in early child development for preterm infants.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, neonatal outcomes and offspring developmental delay in Japan: The Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study. Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2024; 103:1192-1200. [PMID: 38454539 PMCID: PMC11103128 DOI: 10.1111/aogs.14820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Developmental delay at an early age indicates the probability of continued problems after school age. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with developmental delays in offspring, with inconsistent outcomes. Neonatal outcomes vary according to HDP exposure and are relevant to development in later years. Here we aimed to clarify the relationship between HDP and developmental delay in offspring and whether neonatal outcomes mediate this association. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used data from 5934 mother-child pairs from the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study, a prospective cohort study conducted in Japan between July 2013 and March 2017. The Ages and Stages Questionnaires, third edition, at 24 and 42 months of age, measured developmental delay in five areas. We performed multivariate quasi-Poisson regression and causal mediation analysis by neonatal outcomes. RESULTS At 24 months of age, compared to offspring born from normotensive mothers, offspring born from HDP-affected mothers were more likely to experience developmental delay (risk ratio [RR] 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09-1.52) in the areas of communication (RR 1.21, 95% CI: 1.00-1.45) and personal-social (RR 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03-1.28). This association was mediated by neonatal outcomes: preterm birth, neonatal asphyxia, NICU admission, and neonatal small head circumference. No association was observed between HDP and developmental delay at 42 months of age. CONCLUSIONS Exposure to HDP during fetal life is associated with offspring developmental delay. This association is partly mediated by neonatal outcomes.

Associations of prenatal blood pressure trajectory and variability with child neurodevelopment at 2 years old. BMC Med 2024; 22:220. [PMID: 38816882 PMCID: PMC11140879 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03439-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The patterns of blood pressure (BP) change throughout the pregnancy were related to adverse birth outcomes. However, little is known about the long-term effect of BP change patterns on child neurodevelopment. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the BP trajectory and BP variability during pregnancy and early childhood neurodevelopment. METHOD A total of 2797 mother-newborn pairs were derived from the Wuhan Healthy Baby Cohort Study. BP was measured during each antenatal visit, and Mental and Psychomotor Development Indexes (MDI and PDI) were assessed using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID) when the children were 2 years old. Delayed neurodevelopment was defined as scores of PDI or MDI less than - 1SD relative to the mean score of the study population. A group-based multi-trajectory model was adopted to identify multi-trajectories of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Visit-to-visit BP variability was assessed by the coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation (SD), and average real variability (ARV). Generalized linear models and multivariate logistic regressions were used to assess the associations of BP trajectories and variability with BSID scores and delayed neurodevelopment, respectively. RESULTS Five distinct trajectories for SBP and DBP were identified, namely, "Low-increasing," "Low-stable," "Moderate-decreasing," "Moderate-increasing," and "High-stable" groups. Compared with the "Low-stable" group, the children whose mothers' BP fell into the other four groups had lower PDI scores, and mothers in the "Low-increasing," "Moderate-increasing," and "Moderate-decreasing" groups had 43% (OR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.01, 2.03), 48% (OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.08) and 45% (OR:1.45, 95% CI: 1.03, 2.04) higher risk of having offspring with delayed psychomotor neurodevelopment, respectively. High DBP variability was associated with lower BSID scores, and delayed psychomotor neurodevelopment (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.92 for DBP-SD; OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.16, 2.02 for DBP-CV). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that BP change patterns assessed by multi-trajectory and visit-to-visit variability were associated with lower BSID scores and delayed neurodevelopment. Health professionals should be aware of the influence of BP level and its oscillations during pregnancy on the risk of delayed neurodevelopment.

Int J Hyg Environ Health 2024; 258:114336. [PMID: 38460461 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2024.114336] [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: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that prenatal exposure to organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) may have adverse effect on early neurodevelopment, but limited data are available in China, and the overall effects of OPFRs mixture are still unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the association between prenatal exposure to OPFR metabolites mixture and the neurodevelopment of 1-year-old infants. METHODS A total of 270 mother-infant pairs were recruited from the Laizhou Wan (Bay) Birth Cohort in China. Ten OPFR metabolites were measured in maternal urine. Neurodevelopment of 1-year-old infants was assessed using the Gesell Developmental Schedules (GDS) and presented by the developmental quotient (DQ) score. Multivariate linear regression and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression models were conducted to estimate the association of prenatal exposure to seven individual OPFR metabolites and their mixture with infant neurodevelopment. RESULTS The positive rates of seven OPFR metabolites in the urine of pregnant women were greater than 70% with the median concentration ranged within 0.13-3.53 μg/g creatinine. The multivariate linear regression model showed significant negative associations between bis (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCIPP), din-butyl phosphate (DnBP), and total OPFR metabolites exposure and neurodevelopment in all infants. Results from the WQS model consistently revealed that the OPFR metabolites mixture was inversely associated with infant neurodevelopment. Each quartile increased in the seven OPFR metabolites mixture was associated with a 1.59 decrease (95% CI: 2.96, -0.21) in gross motor DQ scores, a 1.41 decrease (95% CI: 2.38, -0.43) in adaptive DQ scores, and a 1.08 decrease (95% CI: 2.15, -0.02) in social DQ scores, among which BCIPP, bis (1, 3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BDCIPP) and DnBP were the main contributors. CONCLUSION Prenatal exposure to a mixture of OPFRs was negatively associated with early infant neurodevelopment, particularly in gross motor, adaptive, and social domains.

[PMID: 37315155 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.28861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The fetal neurodevelopmental microstructural alterations of intrauterine exposure to preeclampsia (PE) or gestational hypertension (GH) remain unknown. PURPOSE To evaluate the differences in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the fetal brain between normotensive pregnancies and PE/GH pregnancies, with a focus on PE/GH pregnancies with fetal growth restriction (FGR). STUDY TYPE Retrospective matched case-control study. POPULATION 40 singleton pregnancies with PE/GH complicated by FGR, and 3 paired control groups (PE/GH without FGR, normotensive FGR, normotensive pregnancies) (28-38 gestational weeks). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE DWI with single-shot echo-planar imaging at 1.5 Tesla. ASSESSMENT The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were calculated in the centrum semi-ovale (CSO), parietal white matter (PWM), frontal white matter (FWM), occipital white matter (OWM), temporal white matter (TWM), basal ganglia, thalamus (THAL), pons, and cerebellar hemisphere. STATISTICAL TESTS Student t test or Wilcoxon matched test was used to reveal the difference of ADC values among the investigated brain regions. A correlation between gestational age (GA) and ADC values was determined by linear regression analysis. RESULTS Compared with fetuses in PE/GH without FGR and those with normotensive pregnancies, fetuses in the PE/GH with FGR group had significantly lower average ADC measurements of supratentorial regions (1.65 ± 0.09 vs. 1.71 ± 0.10 10-3 mm2 /sec; vs. 1.73 ± 0.11 10-3 mm2 /sec, respectively). Regions of significantly decreased ADC values in the fetal brain included CSO, FWM, PWM, OWM, TWM and THAL in cases of PE/GH with FGR. ADC values from supratentorial regions in PE/GH pregnancies were not significantly correlated with GA (P = 0.12, 0.26); however, this trend was statistically significant in the normotensive groups. DATA CONCLUSION ADC values may indicate fetal brain developmental alterations in PE/GH with FGR fetuses but more microscopic and morphological studies are necessary to provide additional evidence to offer a different interpretation of this trend in fetal brain. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 3.

Abstract
We investigate the prospective the association of gestational cardiovascular health (CVH) with infant neurodevelopment, and whether such relation was mediated by cord blood metabolites. The data come from the prospective birth cohort study in Hefei of Anhui, China. A total of 1714 mother-infant pairs are included from March 2018 and June 2021. CVH was evaluated at 24 to 28 gestational weeks by the combination of five metrics: body mass index, blood pressure, total cholesterol, glucose, and smoking. Cord blood samples were collected at delivery for the detection of related indicators. Infant neurodevelopment at 12 months was assessed by the Ages and Stages Questionnaire Edition 3 (ASQ-3). We stratified the status of CVH into three levels, ideal, intermediate, and poor. Compared with the ideal CVH, poor CVH was associated with infant communication domain failure (RR = 2.06; 95 %CI, 1.24-3.42) and cord blood C-peptide levels (β = 0.09; 95 %CI, 0.06-0.13) were higher. Cord blood C-peptide level with infant communication domain failure risk increased (RR = 3.43, 95 %CI: 2.11-5.58). Mediation analysis showed that cord blood C-peptide mediated 13.9 % of the effect. Key findings indicated that maternal poor CVH at 24 to 28 weeks gestation was associated with an increased risk of infant neurodevelopment at ASQ-3 failure in the communication domain, and cord blood C-peptide might mediate this association. The findings, if confirmed by replications, specific nursing cares among pregnant women with poor CVH, might have implications for the offspring neurodevelopment prevention strategies targeting.
