BACKGROUND: The classic clinical criteria for the diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) include a "characteristic" facial appearance, pre- and postnatal growth deficiency, microcephaly, mental retardation, and occasional major malformations. However, diagnostic constraints, especially in the newborn period, lead to an underestimate of their prevalence. We report an epidemiological study of the potential risk of congenital defects in the offspring of mothers who ingested different sporadic and daily amounts of alcohol during pregnancy. METHODS: The study was based on the data from the ECEMC hospital-based case-control study and surveillance system, with a methodology aimed not only at the surveillance of congenital anomalies, but also at investigating their characteristics, clustering, and causes. For the purposes of this study, we considered as exposed those infants whose mothers reported the ingestion of any amount of alcohol during gestation (4705 mothers of cases and 4329 mothers of controls), and classified them into five groups according to their levels of alcohol consumption. Two groups consisted of mothers who consumed increasing sporadic levels and the other three consisted of mothers who consumed increasing daily levels of alcohol. RESULTS: Our study showed that even low sporadic doses of alcohol consumption during pregnancy may increase the risk of congenital anomalies in the offspring and that this risk increases with increasing levels of alcohol exposure. CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study suggest that it is necessary to generalize the preventive norm and recommend complete abstinence from alcohol during gestation.

BACKGROUND: This study examined the risk of congenital anomalies in infants born in South Australia to women with maternal diabetes in a population-based cohort study of births over a 15-year period, 1986-2000. Differences in the reporting, recording, and diagnosis of pre-existing diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus, and impaired glucose tolerance make comparisons between studies difficult. In order to compare published research, details of research methods and analytic approaches are required to understand the potential confounding, bias, and effect modification that may occur. METHODS: Data on congenital anomalies from the South Australian Birth Defects Register were linked to birth data from the Pregnancy Outcome Statistics Unit of the South Australian Department of Health. This enabled information on congenital anomalies to be linked to pregnancy details, including diabetes status. RESULTS: Between 1986 and 2000, the prevalence of congenital anomalies in the infants of mothers with pre-existing diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus, or impaired glucose tolerance was significantly higher than in the total population; relative risk = 2.01 (1.66-2.43) and 1.19 (1.08-1.31), respectively. This increased prevalence was not modified by adjustments for maternal age, ethnicity, or other demographic factors, nor did the rate change over the 15 years of the study period. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of congenital anomalies was found to be significantly higher in the infants of mothers with maternal diabetes. Larger population-based studies are needed to determine which anomalies are involved and how their occurrence can be reduced. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is known to be associated with certain birth defects, but the risk of other birth defects is less certain. The authors examined associations between maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy and craniosynostosis, omphalocele, and gastroschisis among participants in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, a large, multicenter case–control study. METHODS: A total of 6622 control infants and 1768 infants with birth defects delivered from 1997–2005 were included in the present analysis. Maternal alcohol consumption was assessed as any periconceptional consumption (1 month prepregnancy through the third pregnancy month), and by quantity‐frequency, duration, and beverage type. Alcohol consumption throughout pregnancy was explored for craniosynostosis since the period of development may extend beyond the first trimester. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using unconditional logistic regression analysis. OR were adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, and state of residence at time of infant's birth. Gastroschisis OR were also adjusted for periconceptional smoking. RESULTS: Periconceptional alcohol consumption and craniosynostosis showed little evidence of an association (OR = 0.92; CI: 0.78–1.08), but alcohol consumption in the second (OR = 0.65; CI: 0.47–0.92) and third trimesters (OR = 0.68; CI: 0.49–0.95) was inversely associated with craniosynostosis. Periconceptional alcohol consumption was associated with omphalocele (OR = 1.50; CI: 1.15–1.96) and gastroschisis (OR = 1.40; CI: 1.17–1.67). CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that maternal periconceptional alcohol consumption is associated with omphalocele and gastroschisis, and second and third trimester alcohol consumption are inversely associated with craniosynostosis.

The potential effects of paternal exposures on fetal development are of great public and scientific concern, yet few epidemiologic studies have examined this association. Single live births from 1959 to 1966 among 14,685 Kaiser Foundation Health Plan members who participated in the Child Health and Development Studies were analyzed to assess the impact of paternal age, cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption on the occurrence of birth defects in the offspring. Prevalence odds ratios for anomalies identified by age 5 were analyzed, contrasting exposed to unexposed fathers with adjustment for maternal age, race, education, smoking, and alcohol use. Advanced paternal age was associated with increased risk of preauricular cyst, nasal aplasia, cleft palate, hydrocephalus, pulmonic stenosis, urethral stenosis, and hemangioma. Father's cigarette smoking was more common among children with cleft lip +/- cleft palate, hydrocephalus, ventricular septal defect, and urethral stenosis. Alcohol use by the father was most positively related to the offspring's risk of ventricular septal defect. For both smoking and alcohol use, inverse associations were more common than positive associations. These data generally do not indicate strong or widespread associations between paternal attributes and birth defects. However, because of this study's imprecision, limited ability to isolate defects most likely to be of paternal origin, and the identification of several suggestive associations with age and smoking, further study of this issue would be of value. 相似文献

In recent years, the effects of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption on immune function have been studied, due to a high prevalence of infection or cancer in heavy drinkers, and the combination of smoking and drinking was considered to be a carcinogenic risk. However, the effect of smoking and drinking on systemic immune function has yet to be clearly understood. In this study, we investigated neutrophil functions (reactive oxygen species (ROS) productive activity, phagocytic ability and serum opsonic activity) and their relationship with alcohol consumption or amount of smoking. In total there were 731 male and female adult subjects who participated in the Iwaki Health Promotion Project in 2005. Multiple regression analysis showed a trend of increased ROS production in male subjects and a statistically significant decrease was observed in phagocytic activity caused by smoking in female subjects. In other words, oxidative stress caused by smoking in male subjects may be involved in ROS production from neutrophils. Decreased phagocytic activity of neutrophils caused by smoking suggests that host defense functions were impaired in female subjects. A relationship between neutrophil functions and the amount of alcohol consumption was not observed. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE : To examine the association of multiple measures of socioeconomic status (SES) with risks of orofacial clefts and conotruncal heart defects. DESIGN : Data were from a recent population‐based case‐control study conducted in California that included 608 patients with orofacial clefts, 277 patients with conotruncal heart defects, and 617 nonmalformed controls. RESULTS : The odds ratio for the worst versus best score on a household‐level SES index was strongest for cleft lip with or without palate, at 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 0.9–3.4); the odds ratios for this comparison were closer to 1 and less precise for the other defect groups. An index based on neighborhood‐level SES was also not associated with increased risk of the studied defects. CONCLUSIONS : This detailed analysis of SES and selected birth defects did not suggest worse SES was associated with increased risk of the studied defects, with the possible exception of cleft lip with or without cleft palate.

PurposeHardly anything is known about the aetiology of thymoma. This paper presents data regarding tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption in relation to thymoma from the first case-control study performed on this rare tumour.MethodsA European multi-centre case-control study including incident cases aged 35–69 years with thymoma between 1995 and 1997, was conducted in seven countries. A set of controls, used in seven parallel case-control studies by the same research group was used, including population-based controls from five countries and hospital controls with colon cancer from two countries. Altogether 103 cases, accepted by a reference pathologist, 712 colon cancer controls, and 2071 population controls were interviewed.ResultsTobacco smoking was moderately related with thymoma (OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.9–2.2), and a tendency to dose-response was shown (p = 0.04), with an increased risk for heavy smokers defined as ≥41 pack-years (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.1–3.9). A high consumption of spirits defined as ≥25 g of alcohol per day was associated with an increased risk of thymoma (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.1–5.4), whereas no association was found with beer or wine.ConclusionsTobacco smoking and a high intake of spirits were indicated as risk factors for thymoma. 相似文献
