Article Synopsis
- * A total of 592 records were reviewed, but only 6 studies met the criteria for inclusion, analyzing 3,005 pregnant women, with findings showing that some diagnostic criteria were comparable to established standards.
- * The research highlighted a significant lack of consensus on diagnostic criteria, resulting in variability in the accuracy and prevalence of periodontitis among pregnant women, and noted the limitation of having few primary studies to analyze.
Background: Excess weight (EW), especially in women of childbearing age, those who are pregnant, as well as postpartum, is a problem worldwide. Fat accumulation deregulates the inflammatory response, contributing to the development of health problems, such as periodontitis. This study investigated the association between EW and periodontitis during pregnancy.

Method: An ecological study was conducted, with a time series, about the evolution of the mortality coefficient in the Federal District, Brazil carried out at the Federal District State Department of Health.
Recent evidence points to the influence of periodontal inflammatory processes on the occurrence of low birth weight. Although many studies employed robust investigation methods, there is still no general agreement on the relationship between maternal periodontitis and low birth weight. The search for studies was conducted until April 2019.

This paper aims to validate a search strategy to identify randomized clinical trials related to periodontitis. A gold standard reference set was developed to validate the identified clinical trials using the relative recall method.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: There exists a diverse range of criteria used in epidemiological studies for the diagnosis of periodontitis. The results from these studies should be evaluated with consideration to the diagnostic criteria used, and this may account for differences between studies especially in some population groups such as pregnant females. The objective is to evaluate the diagnostic criteria used in a variety of epidemiologic studies of periodontitis in pregnant females.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: The objective of this study was to investigate an association between obesity (exposure) and periodontitis (outcome) in pregnant women.
Background: This association was investigated and only five studies were identified as showing a positive association. However, some of these studies had limitations such as reduced sample sizes, inadequate exposure criteria and outcome measures, which question the internal validity of these investigations.
Objective: To investigate the association between maternal anemia and low/insufficient birth weight.
Design: A prospective cohort study of pregnant women who underwent prenatal care at the healthcare units in a municipality of northeast Brazil together with their newborn infants was carried out. The pregnant women were classified as having anemia when the hemoglobin level was below 11 g/dl.
