J Affect Disord 2024; 362:334-340. [PMID: 38925304 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2024.06.059] [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: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inconsistent associations between antenatal depression and fetal birth weight were reported previously, and little is known about the dynamic changes and long-term cumulative effect of antenatal depression during pregnancy. METHODS Participants were from the Tongji-Huaxi-Shuangliu Birth Cohort. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in early, middle, and late pregnancy respectively. Trajectories of antenatal depression were assessed using the latent class mixed model. The percentage of days with depression (PDD) and frequency of antenatal depression were measured to assess the cumulative exposure. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations of antenatal depression with macrosomia and large for gestational age (LGA). RESULTS We identified four distinct trajectories, including the low stable group (n = 1,327, 27.99 %), the moderate stable group (n = 2,610, 55.05 %), the peak group (n = 407, 8.58 %), and the valley group (n = 397, 8.37 %). Compared with the low stable group, the valley group showed a higher risk of macrosomia (OR, 1.98; 95 % CI, 1.17, 3.38) and LGA (OR, 1.44; 95 % CI, 1.002, 2.09); the peak group showed a higher risk of LGA (OR, 1.52; 95 % CI, 1.07, 2.16), but the association was not significant for macrosomia (OR, 1.47; 95 % CI, 0.85, 2.55). Consistently, cumulative antenatal depression was also positively associated with the risks of macrosomia and LGA. LIMITATION The antenatal depression was self-reported using a screening scale and information bias could not be ruled out. CONCLUSION Certain trajectories and cumulative exposure of antenatal depression were associated with higher risks of high birth weight.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2024; 24:599. [PMID: 39272043 PMCID: PMC11401346 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-024-06740-4] [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: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The formation of macrosomia is associated with excessive nutrition and/or unable to regulate effectively. This case-control study aims to explore the relationship between macrosomia and glucose, lipids and hormones levels in maternal and cord serum. METHODS In the case-control study, 78 pairs of mothers and newborns were recruited who received care at one hospital of Hebei, China between 2016 and 2019. According to the birth weight (BW) of newborns, participants were divided into macrosomia group (BW ≥ 4000 g, n = 39) and control group (BW between 2500 g and 3999 g, n = 39). Maternal vein blood and cord vein blood were collected and assayed. All data were compared between the two groups. Unconditional logistics regression analysis was used to test the relationship between macrosomia and glucose, lipids and hormones in maternal and cord serum. RESULTS In maternal and cord serum, the levels of leptin, leptin/adiponectin ratio (LAR), glucose and triglyceride (TG) in macrosomia group were higher than those in control group, and the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were lower. The percentage of maternal glucose and lipids transfer to cord blood did not differ between the two groups. High levels of TG in maternal serum were positively correlated with macrosomia, and high levels of LAR, TG and glucose in cord serum were positively correlated with macrosomia. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the results of the current study, suggest that the nutrients and metabolism-related hormones in maternal and umbilical cord are closely related to macrosomia. During pregnancy, the nutritional status of pregnant women should be paid attention to and to obtain a good birth outcome.

Abstract
Background Fetal macrosomia, marked by excessive birth weight, is a significant public health issue in developing countries, yet it has received less attention compared to low birth weight. This study aims to determine the prevalence of fetal macrosomia in Bangladesh and its associated factors. Methods The study utilized data from 4,754 women with complete birth weight information of their children from the Bangladesh Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) -2019, defining fetal macrosomia as newborns with a birth weight ≥4,000 g regardless of gestational age. Bivariate logistic regression assessed associations between independent variables and fetal macrosomia, presenting adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and a 95% confidence interval (CI), while controlling for potential confounders such as women's age, wealth index, education, healthcare utilization, comorbidities, newborn sex, and place of residence. Results The prevalence of fetal macrosomia was 11.6%. Significant associations with fetal macrosomia included higher maternal age group (30-34 years) (AOR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.07-1.74), secondary level of mother's education (AOR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.43-2.66), experienced physical attacks (AOR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.06-1.88), hypertension during pregnancy (AOR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.15-2.07), and rural residence (AOR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.15-1.49). Female infants had 18% lower odds of being macrosomic compared to male infants (AOR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.72-0.93). Conclusion One in ten infants in Bangladesh are born with macrosomia, necessitating a multi-faceted approach involving improving maternal nutrition, promoting healthy lifestyles, enhancing access to quality prenatal care, and addressing socioeconomic, residential, and healthcare system challenges, underlining the importance of further community-based research to expand the study's scope.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION In 2021, the guidelines on gestational weight gain (GWG) were revised and increased by 2-3 kg in Japan. This study aimed to investigate whether the revised guidelines would increase the incidence of babies with excessive birth weight in mothers with diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 369 deliveries of women with diabetes whose pre-pregnancy body mass index was below 30 kg/m2 between 1982 and 2021. The primary outcome measure was large for gestational age (LGA). We compared the incidence of LGA between women who gained weight within the previous guidelines and women who gained weight within the revised guidelines. We also compared the incidence of macrosomia, preeclampsia, small for gestational age (SGA), and low birth weight. RESULTS The incidence of LGA was not significantly different between women who gained weight within the revised guidelines and those within the previous guidelines (34.6% [95% confidence interval 25.6-44.6%] for the revised guidelines vs 28.9% [21.6-37.1%] for the previous guidelines; P = 0.246). Neither was the incidence of macrosomia or preeclampsia significantly different (8.7% [4.0-15.8%] vs 5.6% [2.5-10.8%] and 5.8% [2.1-12.1%] vs 6.3% [2.9-11.7%]; P = 0.264 and 0.824, respectively), while women who gained weight within the revised guidelines had a lower incidence of SGA (1.9% [0.2-6.8%] vs 10.6% [6.0-16.8%]; P = 0.001) and low birth weight (1.0% [0.02-5.2%] vs 7.0% [3.4-12.6%]; P = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS The revised GWG guidelines could be beneficial in women with diabetes in terms of delivering babies with appropriate birth weight.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the impact of individualized exercise guidance during pregnancy on the incidence of macrosomia and the mediating effect of gestational weight gain (GWG). DESIGN A prospective randomized clinical trial. SETTING A Hospital in Xingtai District, Hebei Province. POPULATION Older than 20 years of age, mid-pregnancy, and singleton pregnant women without contraindications to exercise during pregnancy. METHODS A randomized clinical trial was conducted from December 2021 to September 2022 to compare the effects of standard prenatal care with individualized exercise guidance on the incidence of macrosomia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Incidence of macrosomia. RESULTS In all, 312 singleton women were randomized into an intervention group (N = 162) or a control group (N = 150). Participants who received individualized exercise guidance had a significantly lower incidence of macrosomia (3.73% vs. 13.61%, P = 0.002) and infants large for gestational age (9.94% vs. 19.73%, P = 0.015). However, no differences were observed in the rate of preterm birth (1.86% vs. 3.40%, P = 0.397) or the average gestational age at birth (39.14 ± 1.51 vs. 38.69 ± 1.85, P = 0.258). Mediation analysis revealed that GWG mediated the effect of exercise on reducing the incidence of macrosomia. CONCLUSION Individualized exercise guidance may be a preventive tool for macrosomia, and GWG mediates the effect of exercise on reducing the incidence of macrosomia. However, evidence does not show that exercise increases the rate of preterm birth or affects the average gestational age at birth. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial is registered at www.clinicaltrails.gov [registration number: NCT05760768; registration date: 08/03/2023 (retrospectively registered)].

Abstract
AIM To conduct a retrospective cohort study to investigate the association between prepregnancy overweight and obesity, excessive gestational weight gain (GWG), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and macrosomia, both individually and in combination. METHODS Binary logistic regression was used to analyse the effects of overweight and obesity, excessive GWG and GDM on macrosomia, both separately and in combination. The interaction effects between prepregnancy overweight and obesity, excessive GWG and GDM were tested. The population attributable fraction (PAF) was calculated separately when interaction terms were significant. RESULTS When analysed separately, prepregnancy overweight and obesity, excessive GWG and GDM increased the risk of macrosomia significantly. The pairwise interactions of each pair of risk factors or all three risk factors on macrosomia appear to be greater than any of them individually. Prepregnancy overweight and obesity contributed the least (5.69%) to macrosomia, while GDM contributed the most (8.5%). The PAF values for prepregnancy overweight and obesity/GDM, excessive GWG/GDM, and prepregnancy overweight and obesity/excessive GWG were 13.6%, 16.25% and 14.45%, respectively, and the total PAF for all three risk factors was 22.63%. CONCLUSIONS Prepregnancy overweight and obesity, excessive GWG and GDM were associated with newborn macrosomia.

Abstract
To explore the influencing factors of singletons with macrosomia, and to develop interventions for the prevention of macrosomia. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 26,379 pregnant women who established the Maternal and Child Health Record and gave birth from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 in a community health service center in Haidian district, Beijing. The study analyzed factors such as maternal age, ethnicity, education level, prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), parity, folic acid supplementation, gestational diabetes mellitus, gestational hyper, hypothyroidism in pregnancy (including subhypothyroidism), hyperthyroidism in pregnancy, and infant gender. Univariate analysis was performed using the χ2 test, and multivariate analysis was performed using non-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis. Out of 26,379 live births, 5.8% (1522/26,379) were macrosomia and 94.2% (24,857/26,379) were non-macrosomia. Univariate analysis revealed that maternal age, prepregnancy BMI, education level, parity, hypothyroidism during pregnancy, and infant gender were identified as influencing factors for macrosomia (P < .05). Multivariate analysis showed that maternal age ≥ 35 years, education level of high school or below, pre-pregnancy BMI, hypothyroidism, male infant, and parity were all influencing factors for macrosomia (P < .05). Prepregnancy overweight or obesity, male infants, multiparity, and low education level are risk factors for macrosomia. Multiple factors can contribute to macrosomia, and therefore, maternal health care should be strengthened, and early interventions should be taken for the above-mentioned factors in the local area.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Maternal height has been shown to be associated with adverse outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between maternal height and adverse outcomes stratified for gestational weight gain (GWG) and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) in women with GDM. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study that included 2048 women diagnosed with GDM during 24-28 gestational weeks from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018, in Zhejiang Province, China. Demographic data, maternal characteristics and pregnancy complications were extracted from medical records. Maternal height was divided into three categories by tertiles. Chi-square was used to evaluate categorical data while one-way ANOVA was utilized to analyze continuous variables. The relationship between maternal height and adverse outcomes was examined using logistic regression. RESULTS We found that shorter women had higher rates of low birth weight (LBW) (p = 0.003) and primary cesarean section (primary CS) (p < 0.001) while taller women had higher rates of abnormal neonatal ponderal index (p < 0.001), postpartum hemorrhage (p = 0.044) and macrosomia (p < 0.001). In taller women who had excess GWG, maternal height was positively associated with the risk of macrosomia (aOR 1.97, 95% CI 0.95-4.10). In shorter women who had inadequate GWG, maternal height was significantly associated with LBW (aOR 2.20, 95% CI 1.13-4.29) and primary CS (aOR 2.08, 95% CI 1.38-3.12). Maternal height was a protective factor of postpartum hemorrhage (aOR 0.15, 95% CI 0.03-0.72) in shorter women with excess GWG. In women with normal pre-pregnancy BMI, maternal height was positively associated with LBW (aOR 2.00, 95% CI 1.15-3.49) and primary CS (aOR 1.71, 95% CI 1.28-2.28) in shorter women while it was negatively associated with the risk of abnormal neonatal ponderal index in both shorter and taller women compared to average height women (aOR 0.71, 95% CI 0.55-0.92; aOR 0.66, 95% CI 0.51-0.85). CONCLUSION The association between maternal height and adverse pregnancy outcomes varies with pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG in GDM women. Taking maternal height, pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG into account and using personalized prenatal management may reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in GDM.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the association of the baseline triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index in the first trimester of pregnancy with the risk of large for gestational age (LGA) in Southeast Chinese pregnant women. Methods A prospective birth cohort study recruiting 12,108 pregnant women at their first prenatal visit before 13 gestation weeks was conducted in 2019-2022. Baseline characteristics were collected from medical records or using questionnaires and blood samples were collected in the first trimester. The TyG index was obtained through the formula: ln[triglyceride (mg/dl)×fasting plasma glucose (mg/dl)/2]. The binary logistic regression model was performed to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to reveal the relationship between TyG index and LGA. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the ability of the TyG index to predict the risks of LGA. Results The overall incidence of LGA in the current study was 11.4% and the incidence of LGA increased with the baseline TyG index increasing. The risk of LGA was 2.05 (1.64, 2.57) for per unit increase in baseline TyG index. The increasing trend was found across the TyG index quartiles and the highest TyG quartiles raised the risk of LGA to 1.86 (95% CI: 1.51, 2.27) compared to the bottom TyG quartiles after full adjustment. The risk of LGA remained positive after stratification analysis. The AUC was 0.584 (95% CI: 0.569~0.600) in the entire subject, and the threshold was 8.34, with a sensitivity of 0.74 and specificity of 0.38. Conclusion The findings suggested that a higher TyG index in the first trimester was independently associated with higher risk of LGA and high TyG index in the first trimester may play as a early predictor for LGA.

[PMID: 37764664 PMCID: PMC10536007 DOI: 10.3390/nu15183879] [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: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Female body composition undergoes significant changes to support fetal growth and development during pregnancy. This study investigated the association of maternal body composition in the second trimester and macrosomia and explored whether body-composition-related indicators could be used to predict macrosomia. (2) Methods: This study was conducted in China from December 2016 to December 2021. Women with singleton pregnancies, gestational ages between 37 and 42 weeks, and an absence of pregnancy complications were included. In the second trimester, bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) was used to measure body-composition-related indicators. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the risk factors for macrosomia. The predictive performance of maternal body composition and clinical indicators for macrosomia were assessed using the area under the receiver-operating-characteristics curve (AUC). (3) Results: This retrospective study involved 43,020 pregnant women; we collected 2008 cases of macrosomia. Gravidity, gestational age, body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG), total body water, fat mass, fat-free mass (FFM), skeletal muscle mass, and visceral fat level were risk factors for macrosomia (p < 0.05 for all). In the prediction model, the AUC of FFM for predicting macrosomia was the largest (0.742). (4) Conclusions: Body-composition-related indicators associated with macrosomia and body composition measurements in the second trimester can predict the risk of macrosomia, enabling clinicians to implement interventions earlier to reduce adverse perinatal outcomes.

[PMID: 37571377 PMCID: PMC10421079 DOI: 10.3390/nu15153440] [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: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aims to explore the relationship between macrosomia and amino acids in maternal and cord sera. METHODS In the case-control study, 78 pairs of mothers and newborns were recruited from December 2016 to November 2019. Participants were divided into the macrosomia group (BW ≥ 4000 g, n = 39) and the control group (BW between 2500 g and 3999 g, n = 39) according to the birth weight (BW) of newborns. Maternal vein blood samples were collected before delivery and cord vein blood samples were collected after birth. The levels of amino acids in maternal and cord sera were measured by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in the year 2021. The difference in amino acid levels in maternal and cord sera between the two groups was compared, and the contribution of each amino acid to the difference between the two groups was analyzed. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to test the relationship between macrosomia and amino acids. RESULTS In maternal serum during the antepartum, the levels of asparagine, glutamine, methionine, alanine, and threonine in the macrosomia group were higher but arginine was lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05). In cord serum, the levels of lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, arginine, tryptophan, valine, isoleucine, glutamate, tyrosine, and total essential amino acid (EAA) in the macrosomia group were lower while glutamine was higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The ratios of EAA, valine, threonine, methionine, tryptophan, and alanine in maternal serum to those in cord serum were higher, while the ratio of glutamine was lower in the macrosomia group (p < 0.05). Arginine and threonine in maternal serum and glutamate, glutamine, and histidine in cord serum were associated with macrosomia (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Most of the amino acid levels in the maternal sera of the macrosomia group are higher than those in the control group, while most of the amino acids' levels in the cord sera of the macrosomia group are lower than those in the control group. The ratios of some amino acids in maternal serum to those in cord serum were different between the two groups. Arginine and threonine in maternal serum and glutamate, glutamine, and histidine in cord serum are closely related to macrosomia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrosomia, defined as a birth weight of ≥4000 g, is associated with a high risk of birth injury. Fetal growth is highly correlated with maternal conditions, and several maternal factors are associated with neonatal birth size. The current study aimed to assess maternal factors related to fetal macrosomia in a Taiwanese population. METHODS The medical records of pregnant mothers and their newborns were retrospectively reviewed. All singleton pregnancies delivered at and after 37 weeks of gestation were included in the analysis. Maternal and neonatal conditions were evaluated according to different birth weights. RESULTS A total of 4262 infants were enrolled in our study. The mean birth weight was 3156 ± 383 g, including 77 (1.8%) cases with birth weight ≥4000 g, and 154 (3.6%) infants with birth weight <2500 g. The mean maternal body weight before delivery was 67.6 ± 10.0 kg. The mean 6-month gestational weight gain (6mGWG) was 12.3 ± 4.2 kg, and the mean maternal body mass index (BMI) was 26.2 ± 3.6 kg/m 2 . The maternal weight, height, and 6mGWG, gestational age, and placental weight were significantly positively correlated with neonatal birth weight. The odds ratios of macrosomia were 3.1 in neonates born to mothers with a 6mGWG of ≥15 kg, 6.3 in those born to mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus, and 4.1 in those born to mothers with a BMI of ≥30 kg/m 2 . Newborn macrosomia was associated with adverse events in pregnant mothers and newborn infants. CONCLUSION Gestational diabetes mellitus, 6mGWG, and maternal BMI are significantly correlated with neonatal macrosomia in full-term singleton births. Further, neonatal macrosomia is an important cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity. Hence, pregnant women should undergo maternal counseling for weight management before and during pregnancy, and the appropriate delivery method should be identified to prevent perinatal adverse events.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of exposure to multiple ambient air pollutants during pregnancy on the risk of children being born small for gestational age (SGA). Methods: An Air Pollution Score (APS) was constructed to assess the effects of being exposed to six air pollutants simultaneously, PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, CO, and O3 (referred to as joint exposure). A logistic regression model was applied to estimate the associations of APS and SGA. Results: The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of SGA per 10 ug/m3 increased in APS during the first and second trimesters and the entire pregnancy were 1.003 [95% confidence intervals (CIs): 1.000, 1.007], 1.018 (1.012, 1.025), and 1.020 (1.009, 1.031), respectively. The ORs of SGA for each 10 μg/m3 elevated in APS during the whole pregnancy were 1.025 (1.005, 1.046) for mothers aged over 35 years old vs. 1.018 (1.005, 1.031) for mothers aged under 35 years old. Women who were pregnant for the first time were more vulnerable to joint ambient air pollution. Conclusion: In summary, the results of the present study suggested that joint exposure to ambient air pollutants was associated with the increment in the risks of SGA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of HbA1c in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is still unclear, particularly in the Asian population. AIM To investigate the association between HbA1c levels and adverse outcomes considering maternal age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), and gestational weight gain (GWG) in women with GDM. METHOD A retrospective study included 2048 women with GDM and singleton live births. Using logistic regression, the associations between HbA1c and adverse pregnancy outcomes were assessed. RESULT Compared to women with HbA1c ≤ 5.0%, HbA1c was significantly associated with macrosomia (aOR 2.63,95%CI1.61,4.31), pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH, aOR 2.56,95%CI1.57,4.19), preterm birth (aOR 1.64,95%CI 1.05,2.55), and primary Cesarean section (primary C-section, aOR1.49,95%CI1.09,2.03) in GDM women with HbA1c ≥5.5% while significantly associated with PIH (aOR 1.91,95%CI1.24,2.94) in women with HbA1c 5.1-5.4%. The associations between HbA1c and adverse outcomes varied with maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI, and GWG. In women aged ≤29 years, there's significant association between HbA1c and primary C-section when HbA1c was 5.1-5.4% and ≥5.5%. In women aged 29-34 years and HbA1c ≥5.5%, HbA1c was significantly associated with macrosomia. In women aged ≥35 years, there's significant association between HbA1c and preterm birth when HbA1c was 5.1-5.4% and macrosomia and PIH when HbA1c ≥5.5%. In pre-pregnant normal-weight women, HbA1c was significantly associated with macrosomia, preterm birth, primary C-section, and PIH when HbA1c ≥5.5% while HbA1c was significantly associated with PIH when HbA1c was 5.1-5.4% . In pre-pregnant underweight women with HbA1c 5.1-5.4%, HbA1c was significantly associated with primary C-section. HbA1c was significantly associated with macrosomia among women with inadequate GWG or excess GWG and HbA1c≥5.5%. In women with adequate GWG, there's significant association between HbA1c and PIH when HbA1c was 5.1-5.4% and ≥5.5% . CONCLUSION Conclusively, HbA1c at the time of diagnosis is significantly associated with macrosomia, preterm birth, PIH, and primary C-section in Chinese women with GDM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association of low or high birth weight (L/HBW) with obesity and hypertension in childhood remains unclear. We aimed to identify the secular trend of birth weight distribution and its relationship to obesity and hypertension in Southern Chinese children and adolescents. METHODS 6,561 individuals (6-17-year-old) were enrolled by multistage cluster sampling to observed the trend of birth weight distribution and its associated factors. 1,218 were further selected by group matching to investigate the correlation between birth weight and obesity or hypertension. RESULTS Between 1997 and 2008, a significant decline in the LBW rate and no significant change in the HBW rate was found. LBW was associated with maternal BMI<18 kg/m2 (OR1.79, 95% CI 1.08-2.97) during pregnancy, while maternal BMI between 25.0 and 27.9 kg/m2 (OR1.62, 95% CI 1.04-2.52) and paternal BMI>28 kg/m2 (OR1.64, 95% CI 1.02-2.63) during pregnancy were associated with HBW. The prevalence of obesity was significantly higher with HBW than normal birth weight (NBW) or LBW (16.73, 6.25 and 5.50%, respectively). The prevalence rates of suspected hypertension were 1.62, 1.25 and 1.49% among LBW, NBW and HBW, respectively (p>0.05). LBW decreased the risks of childhood overweight (OR0.31, 95% CI 0.18-0.54), but had no effect on suspected hypertension. HBW increased the risks of childhood obesity (OR2.19, 95% CI 1.50-3.20), but decreased the risks of suspected hypertension (OR0.22, 95% CI 0.09-0.58). CONCLUSIONS HBW was positively associated with childhood obesity, and parental BMIs management might be one of the measurements to control birth weight to lessen childhood obesity.

Analytical Comparison of Risk Prediction Models for the Onset of Macrosomia Based on Three Statistical Methods. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:9073043. [PMID: 36124028 PMCID: PMC9482546 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9073043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background and Purpose. Fetal overgrowth can pose a serious threat to the safety of a mother and child. Early identification of high-risk pregnant women and timely pregnancy intervention and guidance are of great value in preventing the development of giant babies and improving adverse maternal and infant outcomes. The current clinical methods for predicting macrosomia mainly rely on obstetric examination and imaging, but their accuracy is controversial. And there is no accepted method for accurately predicting macrosomia. We investigated the risk factors influencing the occurrence of macrosomia and established a prediction model for the occurrence of macrosomia to provide a reference basis for interventions to prevent macrosomia. Method. A retrospective selection of 93 women who were hospitalized in our hospital from March 2019 to May 2022 with a singleton pregnancy and delivered at term with macrosomia were the study group. And 356 women who delivered a normal size baby during the same period were the control group. The variables that were associated with the onset of macrosomia were screened from maternal medical records. Logistic regression models, random forest, and CART decision tree models were developed using the screened variables as input variables and whether they were macrosomia as outcome variables, respectively. The performance of the three models was evaluated by accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Result. The risk prediction models for the onset of macrosomia, logistic regression model, random forest model, and decision tree, were successfully developed, with accuracies of 0.904, 1.000, and 0.901 in the training set and 0.926, 0.582, and 0.852 in the validation set, respectively. The AUC in the training set were 0.898, 1.000, and 0.789, and in the validation set were 0.906, 0.913, and 0.731, respectively. In general, the logistic regression model has the highest diagnostic efficiency, followed by the random forest model. Conclusion. Logistic regression models have high application value in the assessment of predicting the risk of macrosomia, and it is suggested that the advantages of logistic regression models and random forest models should be combined in future studies and applications to make them work better in the prediction of the risk of macrosomia.

A predictive model of macrosomic birth based upon real-world clinical data from pregnant women. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2022; 22:651. [PMID: 35982421 PMCID: PMC9386989 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-022-04981-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fetal macrosomia is associated with an increased risk of several maternal and newborn complications. Antenatal predication of fetal macrosomia remains challenging. We aimed to develop a nomogram model for the prediction of macrosomia using real-world clinical data to improve the sensitivity and specificity of macrosomia prediction. METHODS In the present study, we performed a retrospective, observational study based on 13,403 medical records of pregnant women who delivered singleton infants at a tertiary hospital in Shanghai from 1 January 2018 through 31 December 2019. We split the original dataset into a training set (n = 9382) and a validation set (n = 4021) at a 7:3 ratio to generate and validate our model. The candidate variables, including maternal characteristics, laboratory tests, and sonographic parameters were compared between the two groups. A univariate and multivariate logistic regression was carried out to explore the independent risk factors for macrosomia in pregnant women. Thus, the regression model was adopted to establish a nomogram to predict the risk of macrosomia. Nomogram performance was determined by discrimination and calibration metrics. All the statistical analysis was analyzed using R software. RESULTS We compared the differences between the macrosomic and non-macrosomic groups within the training set and found 16 independent risk factors for macrosomia (P < 0.05), including biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), femur length (FL), amniotic fluid index (AFI) at the last prenatal examination, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), and triglycerides (TG). Values for the areas under the curve (AUC) for the nomogram model were 0.917 (95% CI, 0.908-0.927) and 0.910 (95% CI, 0.894-0.927) in the training set and validation set, respectively. The internal and external validation of the nomogram demonstrated favorable calibration as well as discriminatory capability of the model. CONCLUSIONS Our model has precise discrimination and calibration capabilities, which can help clinical healthcare staff accurately predict macrosomia in pregnant women.

Risk Factors for Macrosomia in Multipara: A Multi-Center Retrospective Study. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 9:children9070935. [PMID: 35883919 PMCID: PMC9323661 DOI: 10.3390/children9070935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
The increased incidence of macrosomia has caused an enormous burden after the transition from the almost 40-year one-child policy to the universal two-child policy in 2015 and further to the three-child policy in 2021 in China. However, studies on risk factors of macrosomia in multipara under the new fertility policy in China are limited. We aim to explore the incidence and risk factors for macrosomia in multipara to provide the scientific basis for preventing macrosomia in multipara. A multi-center retrospective study was conducted among 6200 women who had two consecutive deliveries in the same hospital and their second newborn was delivered from January to October 2018 at one of 18 hospitals in 12 provinces in China. Macrosomia was defined as birth weight ≥ 4000 g. Logistic regression models were performed to analyze risk factors for macrosomia in multipara. The incidence of macrosomia in multipara was 7.6% (470/6200) and the recurrence rate of macrosomia in multipara was 27.2% (121/445). After adjusting for potential confounders, a higher prepregnancy BMI, higher gestational weight gain, history of macrosomia, a longer gestation in the subsequent pregnancy were independent risk factors of macrosomia in multipara (p < 0.05). Healthcare education and preconception consultation should be conducted for multipara patients with a history of macrosomia to promote maintaining optimal prepregnancy BMI and avoid excessive gestational weight gain to prevent macrosomia.

The Associations of Maternal Hemoglobin Concentration in Different Time Points and Its Changes during Pregnancy with Birth Weight Outcomes. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14122542. [PMID: 35745272 PMCID: PMC9229552 DOI: 10.3390/nu14122542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Maternal hemoglobin (Hb) is related to nutritional status, which affects neonatal birth weight. However, it is very common for maternal Hb to fluctuate during pregnancy. To evaluate the associations of maternal Hb in different time points and its changes during pregnancy with neonatal birth weight, small for gestational age (SGA)/low birth weight (LBW) and large for gestational age (LGA)/macrosomia, we conducted this study by using data from the Electronic Medical Record System (EMRS) database of Zhoushan Maternal and Child Care Hospital in Zhejiang province, China. The pregnancy was divided into five periods: first, early-second, mediate-second, late-second, early-third and late-third trimesters; we further calculated the maternal Hb changes during pregnancy. Overall, the socio-demographic characteristics, health-related information and childbirth-related information of 24,183 mother−infant pairs were obtained. The average Hb concentration during the different periods were 123.95 ± 10.14, 117.95 ± 9.84, 114.31 ± 9.03, 113.26 ± 8.82, 113.29 ± 8.68 and 115.01 ± 8.85 g/L, respectively. Significant dose−response relationships between maternal Hb and birth weight were observed in the first, late-second and later trimesters (p non-linear < 0.05). Maternal Hb < 100 g/L was related to a high risk of LGA/macrosomia in the late-second (OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.18, 1.83) and later trimesters; additionally, high maternal Hb (>140 g/L) increased the risk of SGA/LBW in the first (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.57) and late-third trimesters (OR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.20, 3.18). In addition, the increase in maternal Hb from the late-second to late-third trimesters had a positive correlation with SGA/LBW. In conclusion, maternal Hb markedly fluctuated during pregnancy; the negative dose−response association of maternal Hb in the late-second and third trimesters, and Hb change during pregnancy with neonatal birth weight outcomes were observed, respectively. Furthermore, the phenomenon of high Hb in the first trimester and after the late-second trimester and the increase of maternal Hb from the late-second to late-third trimesters more significantly increasing the risk of SGA/LBW should especially be given more attention. Its biological mechanism needs to be further explored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between gestational diabetes mellitus and adverse outcomes of pregnancy after adjustment for at least minimal confounding factors. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, from 1 January 1990 to 1 November 2021. REVIEW METHODS Cohort studies and control arms of trials reporting complications of pregnancy in women with gestational diabetes mellitus were eligible for inclusion. Based on the use of insulin, studies were divided into three subgroups: no insulin use (patients never used insulin during the course of the disease), insulin use (different proportions of patients were treated with insulin), and insulin use not reported. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the status of the country (developed or developing), quality of the study, diagnostic criteria, and screening method. Meta-regression models were applied based on the proportion of patients who had received insulin. RESULTS 156 studies with 7 506 061 pregnancies were included, and 50 (32.1%) showed a low or medium risk of bias. In studies with no insulin use, when adjusted for confounders, women with gestational diabetes mellitus had increased odds of caesarean section (odds ratio 1.16, 95% confidence interval 1.03 to 1.32), preterm delivery (1.51, 1.26 to 1.80), low one minute Apgar score (1.43, 1.01 to 2.03), macrosomia (1.70, 1.23 to 2.36), and infant born large for gestational age (1.57, 1.25 to 1.97). In studies with insulin use, when adjusted for confounders, the odds of having an infant large for gestational age (odds ratio 1.61, 1.09 to 2.37), or with respiratory distress syndrome (1.57, 1.19 to 2.08) or neonatal jaundice (1.28, 1.02 to 1.62), or requiring admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (2.29, 1.59 to 3.31), were higher in women with gestational diabetes mellitus than in those without diabetes. No clear evidence was found for differences in the odds of instrumental delivery, shoulder dystocia, postpartum haemorrhage, stillbirth, neonatal death, low five minute Apgar score, low birth weight, and small for gestational age between women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus after adjusting for confounders. Country status, adjustment for body mass index, and screening methods significantly contributed to heterogeneity between studies for several adverse outcomes of pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS When adjusted for confounders, gestational diabetes mellitus was significantly associated with pregnancy complications. The findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the adverse outcomes of pregnancy related to gestational diabetes mellitus. Future primary studies should routinely consider adjusting for a more complete set of prognostic factors. REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42021265837.

Abstract
Background Macrosomia is closely associated with poor maternal and fetal outcome. But there is short of studies on the risk of macrosomia in early pregnancy. The purpose of this study is to establish a nomogram for predicting macrosomia in the first trimester. Methods A case-control study involving 1549 pregnant women was performed. According to the birth weight of newborn, the subjects were divided into macrosomia group and non-macrosomia group. The risk factors for macrosomia in early pregnancy were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. A nomogram was used to predict the risk of macrosomia. Results The prevalence of macrosomia was 6.13% (95/1549) in our hospital. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that prepregnancy overweight (OR: 2.13 95% CI: 1.18–3.83)/obesity (OR: 3.54, 95% CI: 1.56–8.04), multiparity (OR:1.88, 95% CI: 1.16–3.04), the history of macrosomia (OR: 36.97, 95% CI: 19.90–68.67), the history of GDM/DM (OR: 2.29, 95% CI: 1.31–3.98), the high levels of HbA1c (OR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.00–3.10) and TC (OR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.00–1.84) in the first trimester were the risk factors of macrosomia. The area under ROC (the receiver operating characteristic) curve of the nomogram model was 0.807 (95% CI: 0.755–0.859). The sensitivity and specificity of the model were 0.716 and 0.777, respectively. Conclusion The nomogram model provides an effective mothed for clinicians to predict macrosomia in the first trimester.

J OBSTET GYNAECOL 2022; 42:1759-1768.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the effect of hyperglycaemia on placentas of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) women with macrosomia and normal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), and uncover the molecular mechanism of hyperglycaemia on trophoblast cells in vitro. GDM women with normal pre-pregnancy BMI were divided into GM group (macrosomia, n = 30) and GN group (normal birth weight, n = 35). The study showed GM group had more adverse pregnancy outcomes and higher levels of gestational weight gain, blood glucose and triglyceride. After adjustment for confounding factors, just the fasting plasma glucose level and HbA1c percentage were related to the incidence of GDM-induced macrosomia with normal pre-pregnancy BMI. Meanwhile, the fasting blood glucose was closely related to the placental weight and placental PCNA expression. Furthermore, the in vitro model for placenta showed that hyperglycaemia significantly promoted trophoblast cell proliferation and activated ERK1/2 phosphorylation. ERK1/2 inhibitor markedly suppressed hyperglycaemia-induced trophoblastic proliferation. The fasting plasma glucose and placenta are closely related with the development of GDM-induced macrosomia with normal pre-pregnancy BMI. The mechanism may be hyperglycaemia promotes trophoblast cell proliferation via ERK1/2 signalling. It provides scientific evidence for optimising outcomes of GDM women with normal pre-pregnancy BMI.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the strongest risk factors correlated with macrosomia. The hyperglycaemic intrauterine environment affects not only the foetus but also the placental development and function in humans and experimental rodents. However, placental abnormalities associated with maternal diabetes have been inconsistently reported, possibly because of population differences in pre-pregnancy weight, diabetes types, glycemic control or pregnancy complication, and the molecular mechanism of hyperglycaemia on trophoblast cells in vitro was not clearly stated.What do the results of this study add? This is the first study to identify the effect of hyperglycaemia on placentas of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) women with macrosomia and normal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), and uncover the molecular mechanism of hyperglycaemia on trophoblast cells in vitro.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Understanding placental changes in the environment of abnormal glucose metabolism which can establish the maternal-placental-foetal interface dysfunction as a potential source of adverse pregnancy outcomes is very necessary. Our study found the fasting plasma glucose and placenta are closely related with the development of GDM-induced macrosomia with normal pre-pregnancy BMI. The mechanism may be hyperglycaemia promotes trophoblast cell proliferation via ERK1/2 signalling. It provides scientific evidence for optimising outcomes of GDM women with normal pre-pregnancy BMI, and could be used for the following studies of relationship between placenta and childhood complications.

Pre-Pregnancy Body Mass Index and Risk of Macrosomia and Large for Gestational Age Births with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus as a Mediator: A Prospective Cohort Study in Central China. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14051072. [PMID: 35268050 PMCID: PMC8912482 DOI: 10.3390/nu14051072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the risk of macrosomia and large for gestational age (LGA) births in relation to maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) status mediated through gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This prospective study included 34,104 singleton pregnancies at 8–14 weeks of gestation. The interesting outcomes were macrosomia (≥4000 g) and LGA (≥90th percentile). Mediation analyses were conducted using log-binomial regression adjusted for age, education, parity, fetal sex, and gestational weight gain. The proportion mediated was estimated based on the risk difference scale, and the E-value was utilized to assess potential confounders. Overall, 15.9% of women had GDM, and there were 4.0% macrosomia and 9.9% LGA births. The proportion mediated by GDM on macrosomia was up to 40% among obese women, and the estimate of the total effect was 6.18 (95% CI: 5.26–7.26), of the natural direct effect was 4.10 (95% CI: 3.35–4.99), and of the natural indirect effect was 1.51 (95% CI: 1.31–1.76). Likewise, among overweight women, the proportion mediated by GDM on macrosomia was up to 40%. Furthermore, consistent findings were evident for the outcome of LGA births. Pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity increased the risk of macrosomia and LGA births independently and partly mediated by GDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between maternal folic acid supplementation and the birth weights of offspring remains inconclusive. AIM To examine the associations between maternal supplementation with folic acid only (FAO) or multiple micronutrients containing folic acid (MMFA) and newborn birth weights, as well as the risk of small for gestational week age (SGA) and large for gestational week age (LGA) newborns. METHODS Data on 31,107 births from 2015 to 2018 were extracted from the population-based prenatal health care system in a district of Beijing. Generalized linear and logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between maternal periconceptional folic acid supplementation and birth weights or with risk of small for gestational week age (SGA) and large for gestational week age (LGA). RESULTS Compared with newborns whose mothers did not use any folic acid supplements, the newborns with maternal periconceptional folic acid supplementation had similar median birth weight but had a lower risk of SGA [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.81 (95% CI: 0.68-0.97)], however newborns born to mothers who took multiple micronutrients with folic acid (MMFA) with high compliance had a 25.59 g (95% CI: 6.49-44.69) higher median birth weight. Periconceptional women took folic acid only (FAO) (aOR = 0.83; 95%CI: 0.67-1.01) or MMFA (aOR = 0.74; 95%CI: 0.60-0.91) with high compliance decreased the risk of SGA, but has no impact on the risk of LGA. CONCLUSION Periconceptional FAO supplementation has no impact on the median birth weight of offspring and the risk of LGA. Compared with FAO, MMFA supplementation may increase the average birth weight, and a high compliance of supplementation with FAO or MMFA may reduce the risk of SGA, with MMFA having ad stronger effect than FAO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the association of fetal macrosomia with maternal D-dimer and blood lipid levels, and explore whether D-dimer and blood lipids, either alone or in combination with traditional risk factors at hospital birth, could be used to predict subsequent delivery of macrosomia. METHODS From April 2016 to March 2017, 10,396 women with singleton pregnancy giving birth at around 28-41 weeks of gestation were recruited into the present study. D-dimer and blood lipid levels were measured at hospital admission; and data on birth outcomes were obtained from hospital records. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that D-dimer, triglyceride and HDL-C levels were significantly associated with risk of macrosomia independent of traditional risk factors (for D-dimer: adjusted OR: 1.33, 95% CI, 1.23-1.43; for triglyceride: adjusted OR: 1.14, 95% CI, 1.05-1.23; for HDL-C: adjusted OR: 0.35, 95% CI, 0.24-0.51, all P <0.01). More importantly, incorporating D-dimer and blood lipids into the traditional model significantly increased the area under curve (AUC) for prediction of macrosomia (0.783 vs. 0.811; P <0.01). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that maternal D-dimer, triglyceride, and HDL-C levels before hospital birth could be significant and independent of risk factors of fetal macrosomia. Therefore, combining D-dimer and blood lipid levels with traditional risk factors might improve the ability to predict macrosomia in gestational diabetes mellitus and normal pregnancies.

Abstract
To assess associations between infants with macrosomia and placental expression levels of lipid activated/transport-related factors and umbilical cord blood lipid concentrations in healthy pregnancy. We conducted a case-control study of 38 macrosomic neonates (MS group) and 39 normal-birth-weight newborns (NC group) in a healthy pregnancy. Cord blood lipid levels were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer, mRNA and protein expression levels of placental lipid activated/transport-related factors were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot, respectively. Compared with NC group, cord blood total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations were decreased in the MS group. The mRNA and protein expression levels of placental peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARα, PPARγ), plasma membrane fatty acid-binding protein (FABPpm), and fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) were significantly higher in the MS group than the NC group. And there was a weak positive correlation between the expression of PPARγ, FABP4, and FABP3 mRNA in the placenta and the HDLC (rs = 0.439; P = 0.005), NEFA (rs = 0.342; P = 0.041), and TG (rs = 0.349; P = 0.034) levels in the cord blood in the MS group, respectively. After multivariate adjustment, the logistic regression analysis showed that high placental PPARα (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.022; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.032-8.853) and FAT/CD36 (AOR=2.989; 95%CI 1.029-8.679) and low LDLC concentration in the cord blood (AOR=0.246; 95%CI 0.080-0.759) increased the risk of macrosomia. The increased PPARα and FAT/CD36 expression levels may influence the occurrence of fetal macrosomia through regulating placental lipid transport.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Macrosomia has short-term and long-term adverse health effects and is thus an important public health concern. Recent decades have witnessed increasing incidence of macrosomia in many countries. METHODS The present study used a large population-based birth cohort study to depict incidence of macrosomia among live births in rural areas of Henan Province of China from 2013 to 2017. RESULTS Among the 1,262,916 births, 82,353 were cases of macrosomia. The overall incidence of all types of macrosomia, of macrosomia with birth weight <4,500 g, and of macrosomia with birth weight ≥4,500 g were 6.52%, 5.30%, and 1.22%, respectively. From 2013 to 2017, the incidence of macrosomia decreased by 31.3% from 7.96% in 2013 to 5.47% in 2017 ( [Formula: see text]=946.96, [Formula: see text]<0.001). Male infants and infants ≥42 gestational weeks had significantly higher incidence of macrosomia than that of female infants and infants <42 gestational weeks (P<0.001). CONCLUSION Gestational weight control through nutrition management and physical activities during pregnancy are needed to reduce incidence of macrosomia.

Abstract
Low birth weight (< 2500 g; LBW) and macrosomia (> 4000 g) are both adverse birth outcomes with high health risk in short- or long-term period. However, national prevalence estimates of LBW and macrosomia varied partially due to methodology limits in China. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of LBW and macrosomia after taking potential birth weight heaping into consideration in Chinese children under 6 years in 2013. The data were from a nationally representative cross-sectional survey in mainland China in 2013, which consists of 32,276 eligible records. Birth weight data and socio-demographic information was collected using standard questionnaires. Birth weight distributions were examined and LBW and macrosomia estimates were adjusted for potential heaping. The overall prevalence of LBW of Chinese children younger than 6 years was 5.15% in 2013, with 4.57% in boys and 5.68% in girls. LBW rate was higher for children who were minority ethnicity, had less educated mothers, mothers aged over 35 years or under 20 years, or were in lower income household than their counterparts. The overall prevalence of macrosomia of Chinese children younger than 6 years was 7.35% in 2013, with 8.85% in boys and 5.71% in girls. The prevalence of macrosomia increased with increasing maternal age, educational level and household income level. Both LBW and macrosomia varied among different regions and socio-economic groups around China. It is found that estimates based on distribution adjustment might be more accurate and could be used as the foundation for policy-decision and health resource allocation. It would be needed to take potential misclassification of birth weight data arising from heaping into account in future studies.

Abstract
Macrosomia, usually defined as infant birth weight of ≥4000 g, does not consider gestational age, sex, or country/region-specific differences in mean birth weight and maternal body weight. This issue is particularly relevant for Asia, where 60% of the world's population lives, due to variations in maternal size and birth weights across populations. Large for gestational age (LGA), defined as birth weight > 90th centile, is a more sensitive measure as it considers gestational age and sex, though it is dependent on the choice of growth charts. We aimed to review reporting of macrosomia and LGA in Asia. We reviewed the literature on prevalence and risk of macrosomia and LGA in Asia over the last 29 years. Prevalence of macrosomia ranged from 0.5% (India) to 13.9% (China) while prevalence of LGA ranged from 4.3% (Korea) to 22.1% (China), indicating substantial variation in prevalence within and between Asian countries. High pre-pregnancy body mass index, excessive gestational weight gain, and impaired glucose tolerance conferred risk of macrosomia/LGA. Incidence of macrosomia and LGA varies substantially within and between Asian countries, as do the growth charts and definitions. The latter makes it impossible to make comparisons but suggests differences in intrauterine growth between populations. Reporting LGA, using standardized country/regional growth charts, would better capture the incidence of high birth weight and allow for comparison and identification of contributing factors. Better understanding of local drivers of excessive intrauterine growth could enable development of improved strategies for prevention and management of LGA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the factors affecting neonatal physical development in pregnant women with or without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS The subjects were selected from the pregnant woman giving birth in 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, from November 2015 to May 2016. The age, occupation, education level, gestational age, body weight before pregnancy, body weight at delivery, body height, delivery pattern, GDM status of pregnant women and neonatal gender, birth weight (BW), chest circumference (CC), head circumference (HC) and birth length (BL) were collected through medical records and questionnaires. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and studied. RESULTS The significant differences were found between women with GDM and without GDM in following neonatal variables (P<0.05): BW, CC, and HC. GDM status increased the incidence of macrosomia (OR = 2.241, 95% CI: 1.406-3.573), large CC (OR = 2.470, 95% CI: 1.687-3.6153). Gestational weight gain (GWG) above IOM guideline was risk factor for macrosomia (OR = 1.763, 95% CI:1.098-2.833), large HC (OR = 1,584, 95% CI: 1.093-2.296) and large CC (OR = 1.707, 95% CI:1.163-2.506). Underweight was risk factor for short BL (OR = 2.543, 95% CI:1.161-5.571) and small CC (OR = 1.901, 95% CI:1.064-3.394). Female neonate was prone to appear short BL(OR = 2.831, 95% CI: 1.478-5.422) and small HC (OR = 2.750, 95% CI: 1.413-5.350), and not likely to macrosomia (OR = 0.538, 95% CI: 0.343-0.843), longer BL (OR = 0.584, 95% CI: 0.401-0.850), large HC (OR = 0.501, 95% CI: 0.352-0.713), and (OR = 0.640, 95% CI: 0.446-0.917). For women with GDM, gestational age was an risk factor of neonatal BW (low BW: OR = 0.207, 95% CI: 0.085-0.503; macrosomia: OR = 1.637, 95% CI: 1.177-2.276), BL (short BL: OR = 0.376, 95% CI: 0.241-0.585; long BL: OR = 1.422, 95% CI: 1.054-1.919), HC (small HC: OR = 0.343, 95% CI: 0.202-0.583; large HC: OR = 1.399, 95% CI: 1.063-1.842) and CC (small CC: OR = 0.524, 95% CI: 0.374-0.733; large CC: OR = 1.485, 95% CI: 1.138-1.936). CONCLUSIONS In our study, gestational age, GDM status, neonatal gender, GWG and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) are associated the abnormal physical development of neonates. In women with GDM, gestational age was correlate with neonatal abnormal physical developments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Macrosomia is used to describe an infant born with excessively high weight, and it brings lots of unexpected risks in clinical work. Macrosomia causes considerable challenges for both physicians and pregnant women. Our objectives were to identify factors in gravida to be associated with the risk of macrosomia, to guide clinical prevention and treatment. METHODS The study assessed risk factors of macrosomia by comparison with normal birth weight neonates, and a case-control study was conducted at Shandong Provincial Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital. We followed and selected the relevant indicators of gravida who gave birth to macrosomia or normal infants, and applied statistical analysis to identify clinical indicators related to macrosomia. RESULTS Maternal blood glucose (OR 3.88 (1.07, 14.15)), history of abnormal conception (OR 18.44 (1.05, 322.89)), situation of menarche (OR 13.53 (1.28, 142.66)), and menstrual cycle of gravida (OR 13.24 (1.17, 150.24)) were significant influencing factors of macrosomia, but did not appear in the univariate analysis. Adding gestational age at delivery (OR 4.00 (1.45, 11.09)), triglyceride (OR 0.01 (<0.01, 0.40)), and MBI (OR 46.35 (2.08, >99.99)) of pregnant women, the area under the curve (AUC) curve was drawn for forecasting the risk of macrosomia, and the value of AUC was 0.9174. The triglyceride blood index of pregnant women was the only one that was inversely proportional to the probability of giving birth to macrosomic infants. The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (OR 0.29 (0.12, 0.72)) and total cholesterol (OR 0.39 (0.20, 0.75)) were important factors in univariate analysis, and both of them were negative correlation factors of macrosomia. All influencing factors in multivariate analysis were selected for drawing a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the value of the AUC was 0.9174. CONCLUSIONS This analysis could therefore accurately predict the risk of pregnant women who would deliver macrosomic infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish suggested gestational weight gain (GWG) using several distinct methods in a Chinese population. METHODS This study analyzed data from the medical records of singleton pregnancy women during 2011-2017 in Beijing, China. Suggested GWG was calculated using four distinct methods. In method 1, suggested GWG was identified by the interquartile method. Subsequently, risk models for small for gestational age (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) with respect to GWG were constructed. GWG was treated as a continuous variable in method 2, and as a categorized variable in methods 3 and 4. RESULTS An average GWG of 15.78 kg with a prevalence of LGA at 19.34% and SGA at 2.12% was observed among the 34,470 participants. Methods 1 and 2 did not yield clinically applicable results. The suggested GWGs were 11-17/11-16 kg, 9-19/9-15 kg, 4-12/4-10 kg, and 0-12/0-6 kg by method 3/method 4 for underweight, normal-weight, overweight, and obese women, respectively. The GWG range suggested by method 3 resulted in a larger proportion of participants (62.03%) within range, while the suggested GWG range by method 4 was associated with a lower risk of LGA compared to that conferred by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) criteria. CONCLUSION This study suggests a modest GWG goal compared to IOM recommendations based on a large Chinese cohort.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between placental blood perfusion and the occurrence of macrosomia at birth. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study including women with singleton pregnancies that aimed to measure placental blood perfusion using three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler ultrasonography in the second and third trimester. We acquired three indices of placental blood flow, including vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), vascularization flow index (VFI), along with routine two-dimensional (2D) biometric measurements, including abdominal circumference (AC) and estimated fetal weight (EFW). Pregnancy outcomes were divided into two groups: newborns with a normal birth weight and those with macrosomia. We then compared all of the recorded variables between these two groups. We also determined the predictive efficiency of each variable using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS The placental 3D power Doppler indices, including VI and FI, were significantly higher in the third trimester of pregnancies developing macrosomia, but not during the second trimester, as compared to those with a normal birth weight. ROC curves analysis for third-trimester VI and FI suggested a slight ability to predict macrosomia; this was also the case for AC and EFW. Interestingly, VI showed high sensitivity and low specificity, while FI showed low sensitivity and high specificity; this was also the case for AC and EFW. CONCLUSIONS Three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound indices were significantly higher during the third-trimester for pregnancies developing macrosomia. However, these indices had only moderate ability to predict macrosomia.

Interactions between Prepregnancy Overweight and Passive Smoking for Macrosomia and Large for Gestational Age in Chinese Pregnant Women. Obes Facts 2021; 14:520-530.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previous analysis showed that passive smoking and overweight were associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a synergistic manner, while GDM increased the risk of macrosomia/large for gestational age (LGA). This study aimed to examine any interactive effects between passive smoking and overweight/obesity on risk of macrosomia/LGA. METHODS From 2010 to 2012, 22,302 pregnant women registered for pregnancy at a primary hospital in Tianjin, China. Data were collected longitudinally; that is, from their first antenatal care visit, at the glucose challenge test (GCT) time (24-28 weeks of gestation) and at delivery. Passive smoking was self-reported. Macrosomia was defined as birth weight ≥4,000 g. Binary logistic regression was used to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Additive interaction was used to test the synergistic effect. RESULTS Passive smokers accounted for 57.4% of women (n = 8,230). Using nonpassive smoking and prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) <24.0 kg/m2 as the reference, the adjusted ORs of overweight alone and passive smoking alone for macrosomia were 2.39 (95% CI: 2.11-2.71) and 1.17 (95% CI: 1.04-1.32). Copresence of passive smoking and prepregnancy BMI ≥24.0 kg/m2 increased the OR to 2.70 (95% CI: 2.28-3.20), with a significant additive interaction. After further adjustment for GDM or GCT, the OR of copresence of both risk factors was slightly attenuated to 2.52 (2.13-3.00) and 2.51 (2.11-2.98), with significant additive interaction. However, the additive interaction between prepregnancy overweight/obesity and passive smoking for LGA was nonsignificant. CONCLUSIONS Prepregnancy overweight/obesity was associated with an increased risk of macrosomia in Chinese women synergistically with passive smoking during pregnancy, and most of the association was not modified by hyperglycemia during pregnancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the cut-off values for low birth weight (LBW) and high birth weight (HBW) of Sudanese newborns. METHODS Data (maternal age, parity, birth weight, and gender of the newborn) from women (n = 2818) who delivered at Saad Abualila Hospital in Khartoum were retrieved from the medical files. RESULTS The cut-off for LBW (the 10th centile) was 2400 g and the 90th centile (HBW) was 3700 g. Out of 2818 newborns, 317 (11.2%) had birth weights below 2400 g. Using the WHO (traditional) cut-off of 2500 g, the prevalence of LBW was 14.3%. The difference between the two prevalences of LBW was statistically significant (P < 0.001). However, the agreement rate between the two was high (κ = 0.86). The cut-off to define HBW was 3700 g. In the study, 292 (10.4%) newborns had birth weights of at least 3700 g. Using the cut-off of 4000 g, the prevalence of HBW was 9.5%. The difference between the two prevalences of HBW was statistically significant (P < 0.001). However, the agreement rate between the two was low (κ = 0.06). CONCLUSION The cut-off values for low and high birth weight were 2400 and 3700 g, respectively.

PEDIATRIC HEALTH MEDICINE AND THERAPEUTICS 2020; 11:495-503. [PMID: 33364874 PMCID: PMC7751438 DOI: 10.2147/phmt.s289218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Background Macrosomia is defined as a birth weight of newborns ≥4000 grams irrespective of gestational age. It is becoming a burning public health issue in most developing countries and contributes to maternal and newborn complications. Though macrosomia has been increasing in Ethiopia, evidence about its magnitude and associated factors is limited yet. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of macrosomia among newborns delivered at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was carried out from February 23rd to April 23rd, 2020. A total of 491 mothers and their newborns were included in the study. The data were collected by interviewing the mothers and reviewing their charts using a structured questionnaire. The outcome variable was newborn birth weight. Data were entered using Epi-data version 4.6 and analyzed using STATA version 14 software. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression were used to identify the factors associated with macrosomia. Results The prevalence of macrosomia was 7.54%. Gestational age ≥40 weeks (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.1 (95% CI = 1.7-9.7)), diabetes mellitus (AOR=5.5 (95% CI = 1.2-25)), previous history of macrosomia (AOR = 3.7 (95% CI = 1.4-10)), and male sex (AOR = 3.4 (95% CI = 1.3-8.7)) were significantly associated with macrosomia. Conclusion In the current study, the prevalence of macrosomia was relatively high. The study revealed that maternal diabetes mellitus, higher gestational age, history of macrosomia, and male newborns were the predictors of macrosomia. Thus, obstetric caregivers should give attention to early detection and management of mothers with diabetes mellitus, history of macrosomia, and gestational age of ≥40 weeks during pregnancy to prevent macrosomia and its complications.

Fetal macrosomia in a Hispanic/Latinx predominant cohort and altered expressions of genes related to placental lipid transport and metabolism. Int J Obes (Lond) 2020; 44:1743-1752.

Abstract
Fetal overgrowth, termed fetal macrosomia when birth weight is greater than 4000 grams, is the major concern in the treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, to date, the underlying mechanisms of fetal macrosomia have not been understood completely. Placental lipid metabolism is emerging as a critical player in fetal growth. In this study, we hypothesized that fatty acid transport and metabolism in the placental tissue was impaired in GDM women, dependent on fetal sex. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the incidence of GDM, fetal macrosomia, and obesity in a large cohort consisting of 17995 pregnant subjects and majority of subjects being Hispanic/Latinx, and investigated expression of genes related to lipid transport and metabolism in placenta from obese women with or without GDM, and with or without fetal macrosomia. The main findings include: 1) There is a higher incidence of GDM and obesity in Hispanic subjects compared to non-Hispanic subjects, but not fetal macrosomia; 2) Expressions of most of genes related to placental lipid transport and metabolism are not altered by the presence of GDM, fetal macrosomia, or fetal sex; 3) Expression of FABP4 is increased in obese women with GDM and fetal macrosomia, and this occurred in male placentas; 4) Expression of LPL is decreased in obese women with GDM despite fetal macrosomia, and this occurred in male placentas; 5) Expression of ANGPTL3 is decreased in obese women with GDM and fetal macrosomia, but is not altered when fetal sex is included in the analysis. This study indicates that there is race disparity in GDM with higher incidence of GDM in obese Hispanic women, although fetal macrosomia disparity is not present. Moreover, altered placental lipid transport may contribute to fetal overgrowth in obese women with GDM.

[PMID: 31689002 DOI: 10.1111/ijpo.12584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2019] [Revised: 09/07/2019] [Accepted: 09/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrosomia is associated with both neonatal complications and adult diseases (obesity, diabetes mellitus, etc.). Previous studies have reported maternal exposure to PM2.5 might influence metabolism and fetal development and cause adverse pregnancy outcomes. Studies conducted in areas with low PM2.5 concentration have found relationship between gestational PM2.5 exposure and birth weight. However, the impact of air pollution on macrosomia has not been studied, especially in highly polluted areas. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure during pregnancy and the risk of macrosomia. METHODS Data from preconception health examination and prenatal and postnatal records were collected from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2012 in the National Free Preconception Health Examination Project. Monthly mean of PM2.5 concentration during pregnancy was estimated from satellite data using an ensemble machine learning model. A newborn with birth weight above 4000 g was defined as macrosomia. Logistic regression models were used to examine the association between maternal exposure to PM2.5 and the risk of macrosomia, after adjusting for maternal age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, parity, neonatal sex, duration of gestation, seasonality, educational level, smoking and drinking habits, past history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension, and family history of diabetes mellitus. Restricted cubic spline models were used to evaluate the dose-response relationship between the risk of macrosomia and PM2.5 concentration. RESULTS Of 177 841 singleton nonlow birth weight newborns included, 14 598 (8.2%) had macrosomia. The mean PM2.5 concentrations were 70.7, 71.5, and 80.9 μg/m3 in the first, second, and third trimesters. In full-adjusted logistic regression models, significant associations were found between increased risk of macrosomia and every 10 μg/m3 increase of PM2.5 concentration over the first (odds ratio [OR]: 1.045; 95% CI, 1.037-1.052), second (OR: 1.035; 95% CI, 1.028-1.043), and third (OR: 1.033; 95% CI, 1.026-1.039) trimesters. There was a nonlinear does-response association between PM2.5 concentration and the risk of macrosomia. CONCLUSIONS Maternal exposure to PM2.5 during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of macrosomia in China.

Abstract
During pregnancy fetal growth disorders, including fetal macrosomia and fetal growth restriction (FGR) are associated with numerous maternal-fetal complications, as well as due to the adverse effect of the intrauterine environment lead to an increased morbidity in adult life. Accumulating evidence suggests that occurrence of fetal macrosomia or FGR, may be associated with alterations in the transfer of nutrients across the placenta, in particular of glucose. The placental expression and activity of specific GLUT transporters are the main regulatory factors in the process of maternal-fetal glucose exchange. This review article summarizes the results of previous studies on the expression of GLUT transporters in the placenta, concentrating on human pregnancies complicated by intrauterine fetal growth disorders. Characteristics of each transporter protein found in the placenta is presented, alterations in the location and expression of GLUT isoforms observed in individual placental compartments are described, and the factors regulating the expression of selected GLUT proteins are examined. Based on the above data, the potential function of each GLUT isoform in the maternal-fetal glucose transfer is determined. Further on, a detailed analysis of changes in the expression of glucose transporters in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth disorders is given, and significance of these modifications for the pathogenesis of fetal macrosomia and FGR is discussed. In the final part novel interventional approaches that might reduce the risk associated with abnormalities of intrauterine fetal growth through modifications of placental GLUT-mediated glucose transfer are explored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations between late-gestational dyslipidemia, expressed as the ratio between triglycerides (TGs) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and the risk of macrosomia among nondiabetic pregnant women. METHODS In this case-control study, 171 pregnant women who delivered macrosomia newborns were recruited from a total of 1856 nondiabetic pregnant women who delivered a singleton, nonanomalous newborn. A total of 684 normal controls were one-to-four matched by age. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between the TG/HDL ratio and the neonatal body weight as well as the risk of macrosomia. RESULTS The maternal serum TG and TG/HDL levels were much higher in the macrosomia group, while the maternal serum HDL-C levels were much lower in the macrosomia group than those in the control group. However, the serum total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-C levels were not significantly different between the two groups. Furthermore, maternal TG/HDL levels were positively associated with neonatal body weight. The confounding factors including maternal age, maternal height, gestational age, maternal body mass index (BMI), FPG, SBP, and neonatal sex were adjusted. A positive association between TG/HDL and neonatal body weight was still found. Moreover, the prevalence of macrosomia increased markedly in a dose-dependent manner as with maternal TG/HDL levels increased. CONCLUSIONS Maternal serum TG/HDL levels at late gestation are positively associated with neonatal body weight and the risk of macrosomia in women without DM. Maintaining maternal lipid levels in an appropriate range is important in the context of fetal overgrowth and primary prevention of macrosomia.

Associations between pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain with pregnancy outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2020; 12:88. [PMID: 33062059 PMCID: PMC7542962 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-020-00595-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The influence of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) on perinatal outcomes of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remains unclear. Therefore, we explored how the above indicators influence pregnancy outcomes in women with PCOS. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted involving the baseline characteristics, laboratory data, and pregnancy outcomes of 722 pregnant women with PCOS. Subjects were grouped in a way to find out risks in their pregnancy outcomes. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate how BMI and GWG were associated with perinatal outcomes. RESULTS Among women with PCOS, underweight increased the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) (OR 12.35, 95% CI 3.56-42.82), but reduced the risk of large for gestational age (LGA). Overweight but not obese women were more susceptible to developing preeclampsia (PE) than women with normal weight. In PCOS women with BMI < 25 kg/m2 before pregnancy, inadequate GWG was a protective factor for gestational hypertension (GH) and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), excessive GWG exhibited a positive correlation with LGA. But in PCOS women with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, excessive GWG increased the probability of undergoing a cesarean section. Inadequate GWG did not reduce the likelihood of LGA in women with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, and excessive GWG did not reduce the probability of SGA in women with BMI < 25 kg/m2. CONCLUSION The impacts of pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG on maternal and infant outcomes among PCOS women are similar to reported results in general pregnant women. However, some unique trends were also observed in PCOS women. While the underweight factor significantly increased the risk of SGA birth, overweight but not obesity was correlated with the risk of PE. Inadequate GWG was a protective factor for GH and PPH only in women with pregestational BMI < 25 kg/m2. Inadequate GWG did not reduce the probability of LGA in women with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, and similarly, excessive GWG did not reduce the probability of SGA in women with BMI < 25 kg/m2. Overall, these findings indicate that women with PCOS should begin weight management before pregnancy.

The Associations between the Duration of Folic Acid Supplementation, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, and Adverse Birth Outcomes based on a Birth Cohort. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:ijerph16224511. [PMID: 31731641 PMCID: PMC6888242 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16224511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2019] [Revised: 11/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the associations between the duration of folic acid (FA) supplementation, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and adverse birth outcomes. A total of 950 mother-offspring pairs participated in the cohort study during 2015 in Changsha, China. The data were collected through home visits and perfected by maternal and child healthcare handbooks. Generalized linear models and stratified analyses were used for statistical analyses. The incidence of GDM in our cohort was 10.2%. FA supplementation for ≥3 months before pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of GDM (adjusted relative risk (aRR): 1.72; 95% CI: 1.17–2.53) and decreased risk of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth (aRR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.18–0.88). In the group of FA supplementation for ≥3 months during pregnancy, GDM was associated with an increased risk of cesarean delivery (aRR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.06–1.75) and macrosomia (aRR: 2.11; 95% CI: 1.06, 4.20), but the aRRs were lower than the RRMH 1.53 (95% CI: 1.01–2.34) and 2.43 (95% CI: 1.27–4.66). Our study suggested that the longer duration of FA supplementation before pregnancy might increase the risk of GDM, but decrease the risk of SGA birth. Longer duration of FA supplementation during pregnancy had beneficial effects on birth outcomes in women with GDM. Further studies should consider a larger sample size to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously demonstrated an association between placental leptin (LEP) methylation levels and macrosomia without gestational diabetes mellitus (non-GDM). This study further explored the association between LEP methylation in cord blood and non-GDM macrosomia. METHOD We carried out a case-control study of 61 newborns with macrosomia (birth weight ≥4000 g) and 69 newborns with normal birth weight (2500-3999 g). Methylation in the LEP promoter region was mapped by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS Average cord blood LEP methylation levels were lower in macrosomia newborns than in control newborns (P < 0.001). Eleven CpG sites were associated with macrosomia. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that low LEP methylation levels [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.84, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.72-4.17], high pre-pregnancy body mass index (AOR = 7.44, 95% CI: 1.99-27.75), long gestational age (AOR = 3.18, 95% CI: 1.74-5.79), high cord blood LEP concentration (AOR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.34-3.77), and male newborn gender (AOR = 3.91, 95% CI: 1.31-11.69) significantly increased the risk of macrosomia. CONCLUSIONS Lower cord blood LEP methylation levels and certain maternal and fetal factors are associated with non-GDM macrosomia.

Abstract
AIMS Obesity increases risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and GDM increases risk of macrosomia but their inter-relations for increased risk of macrosomia remain uncertain. We aimed to examine associations between prepregnancy overweight and macrosomia, and synergistic effects between prepregnancy overweight and GDM on macrosomia. METHODS From 2010 to 2012, 19,622 women in urban Tianjin, China, underwent a 50-g 1-h glucose challenge test (GCT) at 24-28 gestational weeks and followed by a 75-g 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) if the GCT value was ≥ 7.8 mmol/L. GDM was defined according to International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group's criteria. Overweight was defined as body mass index ≥ 24.0 kg/m2. Logistic regression was performed to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Additive interaction between prepregnancy overweight and GDM was used to test synergistic effects. RESULTS In the cohort, 1791 (9.1%) and 1726 (8.8%) of the women delivered a macrosomic infant or a large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infant, respectively. Prepregnancy overweight was associated with increased risk of macrosomia and LGA with adjusted ORs being 2.29 (95%CI: 2.07-2.54) and 2.27 (2.05-2.52), respectively. Copresence of prepregnancy overweight and GDM greatly enhanced the adjusted ORs of overweight alone (ORs for macrosomia and LGA: 2.17, 1.94-2.42 & 2.21,1.98-2.47) and GDM alone (ORs for macrosomia and LGA: 2.01,1.48-2.72 & 2.14, 1.60-2.87) for macrosomia and LGA to 5.29 (4.07-6.87) for macrosomia and 4.72 (3.66-6.10) for LGA, with significant additive interactions. CONCLUSIONS Prepregnancy overweight increased the risks of macrosomia and LGA independently and synergistically with GDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fetal macrosomia, defined as birth weight equal or over 4000 g, is a major concern for both neonatal and maternal health. A rapid increasing trend in fetal macrosomia is observed in different regions of China. We aimed to examine the association between fetal macrosomia and risk of childhood obesity in Western China. METHODS All macrosomic live singletons (≥ 4000 g), and a random sample of singletons with normal birth weight (2500-3999 g) born in four districts of Chengdu, Western China, in 2011 were included in the cohort study. Maternal demographics, obstetric factors, labor and delivery summary at baseline were extracted from the Chengdu Maternal and Child Health Management System. Anthropometric measurements before 3 years and infant feeding information at around 6 months were also collected. Childhood obesity under 3 years was primarily defined as a weight-for-length/height z score ≥ 1.645 using the WHO growth reference. Secondary definitions were based on weight-for-age and body mass index (BMI)-for-age over the same cut-offs. RESULTS A total of 1767 infants were included in the analyses, of whom 714 were macrosomic. After controlling for maternal age, parity, gestational age and anemia at the first antenatal visit, pre-pregnancy BMI, gestational weight gain, gestational age at birth, baby age and sex, and breastfeeding practices at 6 months, the risk of childhood obesity defined according to weight-for-length/height among macrosomic babies was 1.90 (95% confidence interval 1.04-3.49) times that of babies with normal birth weight. The risk of childhood obesity for macrosomic babies was 3.74 (1.96-7.14) and 1.64 (0.89-3.00) times higher based on weight-for-age and BMI-for-age, respectively. CONCLUSION Fetal macrosomia is associated with increased risk of obesity in children under 3 years in Western China.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of macrosomia and LGA (large for gestational age) in non-GDM (gestational diabetes mellitus) pregnant women in Fuyang, Anhui Province of China.Methods: A large population-based cohort study was conducted among non-GDM pregnant women aged 18-45 years. Maternal sociodemographic data prior to pregnancy were collected using interviewer-administered standardized questionnaire. Maternal obstetrical delivery records and newborn hospital records were extracted from antenatal care booklets and hospital discharge abstracts. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of macrosomia and LGA.Results: The incidence of macrosomia and LGA was 9.2 and 15.9%, respectively. Mothers ≥35 years of age (aOR 2.75, 95% CI 1.98, 3.80), male neonates (aOR 1.68, 95% CI 1.51, 1.89), overweight and obese (aOR 1.61, 95% CI 1.34, 1.92 and aOR 3.05, 95% CI 2.05, 4.56, respectively) were associated with increased risk of macrosomia. Compared with the less educated mothers, the educated mothers were more likely to have increased risk of macrosomia. IFA (iron and folic acid) supplements intake during pregnancy was more likely to deliver macrosomia or LGA (aOR1.32, 95% CI 1.08, 1.49 and aOR1.42, 95% CI 1.24, 1.61, respectively) as compared with no IFA supplements intake. SCr (serum creatinine concentration) >80 µmol/L was related to decreased risk of macrosomia (aOR 0.73, 95% CI 0.61, 0.86) and LGA (aOR 0.67, 95% CI 0.59, 0.77) as compared with normal range (44-80 µmol/L).Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of macrosomia and LGA in non-GDM pregnant women in China. Healthcare educations and reasonable body weight are necessary for pregnant women to prevent macrosomia and LGA. Pregnant women should be checked regularly and have the first prenatal visit as soon as possible.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to determine the magnitude of fetal macrosomia and associated factors at public health institutions of Hawassa city, southern Ethiopia. Results In this study, the magnitude of fetal macrosomia found to be 11.86%. Being a male (AOR = 2.2, 95% CI 1.1–4.2), ≥ 37 weeks gestational age (AOR = 6.0, 95% CI 3.1–11.1) and having previous history of fetal macrosomia (AOR = 14.5, 95% CI 7.2–29.2) had a higher odds of fetal macrosomia. Moreover, the magnitude of fetal macrosomia is found be in the global range. Sex of the child, previous history of fetal macrosomia and gestational age were significantly associated with fetal macrosomia. The obstetric care providers should assess all pregnant women for history of fetal macrosomia which would help them to be prepared for the managements of maternal and perinatal complications.
