Abstract
OBJECTIVE Determine the frequency of preconception care use in France and factors impacting preconception visit. MATERIALS AND METHODS An epidemiological study was conducted from September 2015 to October 2015 in 5 maternity hospitals within the "Alpes-Isère" perinatal network, comprising of French-speaking women, with uncomplicated pregnancies, who delivered a healthy term baby (≥37 weeks of gestational age). Two groups were compared: patients with and without preconception care. Descriptive, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for the sociodemographic, the environmental characteristics and the gynecologic obstetric history. RESULTS Among the 392 patients included in this study, only 62 (15.8% [12.0-20.0]) had used preconception care before their pregnancy. Multivariate analysis showed that the primiparous women (adjusted OR 2.47 [1.37-4.46]) and the women with a high socio-professional category (adjusted OR 2.32 [1.13-4.77]) were more likely to used preconception care. CONCLUSION Despite the positive effects on mother and baby's health, preconception care is insufficiently used in France. Every effort must be made to improve awareness of preconception care among health workers and patients.

Abstract
A key challenge of preconception healthcare is identifying how it can best be delivered at a population level. To review current strategies of preconception healthcare, explore methods of preconception healthcare delivery, and develop public health models which reflect different preconception healthcare pathways. Preconception care strategies, programmes and evaluations were identified through a review of Medline and Embase databases. Search terms included: preconception, pre-pregnancy, intervention, primary care, healthcare, model, delivery, program, prevention, trial, effectiveness, congenital disorders OR abnormalities, evaluation, assessment, impact. Inclusion criteria for review articles were: (1) English, (2) human subjects, (3) women of childbearing age, (4) 1980–current data, (5) all countries, (6) both high risk and universal approaches, (7) guidelines or recommendations, (8) opinion articles, (9) experimental studies. Exclusion criteria were: (1) non-human subjects, (2) non-English, (3) outside of the specified timeframe, (4) articles on male healthcare. The results of the literature review were synthesised into public health models of care: (1) primary care; (2) hospital-based and inter-conception care; (3) specific preconception care clinics; and, (4) community outreach. Fifteen evaluations of preconception care were identified. Community programmes demonstrated a significant impact on substance use, folic acid supplementation, diabetes optimization, and hyperphenylalaninemia. An ideal preconception visits entail risk screening, education, and intervention if indicated. Subsequently, four public health models were developed synthesizing preconception care delivery at a population level. Heterogeneity of risk factors, health systems and strategies of care reflect the lack of consensus about the best way to deliver preconception care. The proposed models aim to reflect differing aspects of preconception healthcare delivery.

Abstract
Preconceptional care is a set of interventions, aimed to identify and modify medical, behavioral, and social risks to a woman's health and her pregnancy outcome, prior to conception. Diagnosing and treating some of the common noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) may have an impact on pregnancy outcome. Ample time should be allowed to properly intervene in some of the following situations: hypertension, diabetes, obesity, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid disease, anemia, epilepsy, asthma, and cardiac disease. Diabetes mellitus and obesity are common NCDs, with proven efficacy for preconceptional care, for both maternal and perinatal outcome. These primary components of the metabolic syndrome, if properly treated prior to pregnancy, will prevent long-term hazards for the mother, her children, and the next generations, by providing in utero primary prevention of NCDs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this Cochrane review was to determine the effectiveness of delivering preconception counseling interventions to women with epilepsy (WWE) as a means of reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes, increasing knowledge, and increasing intentions to plan pregnancy. METHODS Two hundred twenty-five citations were retrieved from a systematic search of the Cochrane Library and electronic databases: Medline (OVID), Scopus, CINAHL, PsychINFO, and ASSIA, and hand searches of relevant epilepsy and obstetric journals. RESULTS The search strategy identified 11 studies for consideration for inclusion. However, none met the required criteria for inclusion. CONCLUSIONS There is no robust evidence to inform the content, methods of delivery, or likely effectiveness of preconception counseling to improve pregnancy outcomes for WWE and their offspring. The value of counseling WWE prior to conception remains uncertain and requires evaluation in well-designed studies, appropriately powered to detect changes likely associated with both maternal and infant outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The provision of preconception counselling to women with epilepsy (WWE) has become established as recommended practice and includes a review of drug treatment and the provision of information and advice on both seizure and treatment-related risks to both mother and child. In this review we assess the evidence regarding the effectiveness of preconception counselling for WWE. OBJECTIVES To determine the effectiveness of preconception counselling for WWE, measured by a reduction in adverse pregnancy outcome in both mother and child; increased knowledge of preconception issues in WWE and increasing intention to plan pregnancy. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched the Epilepsy Group's Specialized Register (30/01/2008), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2007, Issue 4), and electronic databases: MEDLINE (OVID) (1950-February 2008); SCOPUS (1966-March 2008); CINAHL (1982-March 2008); PsyclNFO (1806-March 2008); ASSIA (1987-March 2008). SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised control trials; including cluster and quasi-randomised trials, prospective cohorts, controlled before and after studies, and interrupted time series that compared the outcomes in mothers with epilepsy and infants of mothers with epilepsy who received preconception counselling, to the outcomes of mothers with epilepsy and their infants who received standard care or no intervention. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS The methodological quality of potentially relevant studies were assessed to determine appropriate inclusion. Where necessary, study authors were contacted for additional information. No studies met the review inclusion criteria. MAIN RESULTS The search strategy identified 11 studies for consideration of inclusion. However, none met the required criteria for inclusion. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is no evidence to inform the content, methods of delivery or effectiveness of preconception counselling to improve pregnancy outcomes for WWE and their offspring. The value of counselling delivered to WWE prior to conception, with the intention of reducing the risks of adverse outcome in mother and child, requires evaluation in well-designed studies, appropriately powered to detect changes in both maternal and infant outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This literature review briefly describes international programs, policies, and activities related to preconception care and resulting pregnancy outcomes. METHODS Electronic databases were searched and findings supplemented with secondary references cited in the original articles as well as textbook chapters, declarations, reports, and recommendations. RESULTS Forty-two articles, book chapters, declarations, and other published materials were reviewed. Policies, programs, and recommendations related to preconceptional health promotion exist worldwide and comprise a readily identifiable component of historic and modern initiatives pertaining to women's health, reproductive freedom, and child survival. CONCLUSIONS The integration of preconception care services within a larger maternal and child health continuum of care is well aligned with a prevention-based approach to enhancing global health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the methods of the periconceptional care, consisting of counselling, examinations and medical intervention in Hungary. The term periconceptional is used instead of preconceptional because early postconceptional period is also involved to this service. METHODS A model was developed based on three steps: check-up of reproductive health (i.e. preconceptional screening), the 3-month preparation for conception, and better protection in early pregnancy for the most sensitive early development of embryo for voluntary and eligible couples. Data of 8837 female and 7600 male participants from the coordinating centre of the Hungarian periconceptional care between 1 February 1984 and 31 January 1994 are summarized. Mean maternal age was 25.8+/-3.4 years, 84 and 60% of female participants were primiparae, and had high education (> or = 13 classes), respectively. RESULTS It was possible to establish periconceptional care performed and/or supervised by qualified nurses. Participants with positive family history, case history and where genitourinary infections were detected, had a more effective flow towards secondary care. Infertile couples were diagnosed and treated sooner. The periconceptional care is effective for the introduction of periconceptional folic acid/multivitamin supplementation and for the reduction of smoking and alcohol consumption in females in the preconceptional period. The rate of major congenital abnormalities (20.6/1000) was significantly lower than expected (35/1000). CONCLUSIONS Periconceptional care is feasible and has many benefits. Thus, proper preparation for conception is the earliest and probably the most important method of health promotion in general, particularly for the prevention of congenital abnormalities.

Abstract
During the last 10 years, there has been a movement to expand the definition of prenatal care to encompass preconceptional counseling. Major organizations throughout the world have endorsed preconceptional counseling as an integral component of care for all women contemplating pregnancy. This article will assist health care providers who interact with women of reproductive age to understand the potential benefits and limitations of preconceptional counseling and to develop an approach to that service relating to nutrition, infections, and metabolic diseases as they impact on reproductive outcome. Although there are many potential benefits of the preconception health care model, barriers to its implementation remain.

Abstract
Preconceptional health promotion should provide a prevention framework for interactions with all women of childbearing potential. Preconceptional counselling is properly directed by specialists in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, but a multispecialty effort may be needed to achieve adequate information for decision-making. Preconceptional health care offers an important opportunity for physicians involved in women's health to expand a primary care and a primary prevention focus. The obstetrician or gynaecologist is not only involved in acute diagnosis and treatment plans but also in disease prevention, risk and behaviour modification and counselling, which are integral parts of primary prevention and co-ordinated women's health care.
